clearance/gauge, body

If \"caise\" should be \"caisse\", then it is the body of the vehicle.

profile

for gabarit: as you are talking about rail/tram movement, the max. dimensions along a track define the profile of this track (railway profile). Gauge is the width between the rails only.
caisse: is the body of a waggon
Peer comment(s):

disagree David Sirett : ...with the "only" in your comment on "gauge". The latter can also refer to the cross-section of the vahicle on the track, as in "loading gauge".
