Spanish term or phrase: Montafurgonetas
From a guide to a trade fair site.

The term appears in the Technical Data section, its part of a massive list so there's no context. Elsewhere in the text there are repeated references to montacargas (in the sense of service lifts), so I guess it's something similar

English translation:truck elevator
Explanation:
I think it could be this, a lift for vehicles, taking into account the dimensions:

"...edificio que dispone de dos monta-furgonetas, lo que permite acceder con vehículo rodado al interior de la nave."

vans or trucks for off road driving or mountain driving


Explanation:
I know that 'furgonetas' are vans or trucks so I decided that 'montafurgonetas' would be vans or trucks for driving off the normal road.

neutral  Lydia De Jorge: You decided? I fail to see the logic. As you say, 'furgoneta' is truck or van so that leaves you with 'monta' and you read it as 'driving off the normal road'?

disagree  Yvonne Gallagher: "I think it could be this..." (as in other answer) a vast improvement on "I decided..." on your pure guesswork
