French to English Tech/Engineering Law: Contract(s)
Can someone help me with the meaning in English of this phrase in the following context? I am translating a contact for work to be provided by company BBBB to Company AAAA. Company BBBB will provide logistical services to company AAAA.

Here is the context:

3.2. EQUIPEMENTS

BBBBB met à disposition tous les équipements nécessaire à la réalisation des prestations définies au présent contrat et notamment :
- un ensemble de palettiers pouvant recevoir des palettes 100 x 120,
- un équipement spécifique (dynamique) pour les préparations de commande France incluant un ***tunnel de rétraction***,
- une filmeuse de palettes,
- un ensemble de chariots élévateurs adaptés à la configuration du stockage.

Etant convenu que BBBBB fera évoluer ou compléter ses équipements afin d’assurer une gestion optimale du stockage des Produits confiés par AAAAA au titre du présent contrat.

Thank you in advance!
