Selected
jacking-up
I suspect it may even be a made-up verb, from 'vérin', presumably meaning to be jacked up using hydraulic jacks or screw feet? Could this possibly make sense in the overall mechanical logic of what you've got there?
Note from asker:
| Yes, I had come up with the same theory - yet another 'invented' word! Well, life was never meant to be easy, was it? Thank you Tony |

verrinage does not exist
vérinage - definition from reverso dictionary - levage d'éléments lourds par des vérins
so lifting with cylinders

| Thank you! Indeed, in a perfect world our customers would be able to spell! Things have worsened considerably with voice dictated files! I think you, Tony and I all reached the same conclusion from different directions! Once again thanks! |
