French term
balan du grappin
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
Accidents potentiels dans le domaine de l'incinération de déchets : "risque de choc du grappin avec le véhicule et de heurt des personnes à proximité par le balan du grappin". I think grappin means crane but I have no idea what a balan is.

In the context of waste handling, it is more likely to be a grab than a grapnel, I feel.
