Hakengerät

Deutsch > Englisch Technik Transport/Logistik/Versand Swap Body Vehicle
"Der Wechsellader ist in der Lage, mit dem Hakengerät schnell und sicher verschiedenste Wechselaufbauten (Container) aufzunehmen, zu transportieren und am jeweiligen Bestimmungsort abzusatteln.
Derzeit verfügt die Feuerwehr Stadt X über drei Wechselaufbauten (Abschleppplateau, Logistik-Pritsche mit Horizontallift sowie Mulde)."

From a text about a swap body vehicle for a volunteer fire brigade. I can't find a translation for "Hakengerät" anywhere, other than the ever unreliable and untrustworthy Linguee (although it can occasionally hit the mark, just as a stopped clock is still right twice a day). That seems to indicate "hook lift", which does actually get some reasonably credible hits in the context of swap body vehicles, more so than the generic "hook device" or "hook unit". So I'm wondering if that maybe could be it here? Otherwise, what would be the best translation here? TIA for your assistance.

Rowan Morrell (asker) Mar 15, 2015:
Also seems to be referred to as a "Hakenladegerät" This a little later in the text:

"Mit dem Hakenladegerät können große Lasten wie Paletten mit Sandsäcken oder Pumpencontainer rasch verladen und transportiert werden."

I assume that's the same thing.
