English term

crashing to grade

English to Dutch Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Context:

"Driver did not follow safe uncoupling procedures when he has pulled the 5th wheel release handle before applying the trailer brake, lowering the landing gear and removing the air & electrical lines. This caused the trailer to become disconnected, slide off crashing to grade and damaging a loading dock door/roof at a customer location."

Ik vraag me m.n. af wat "grade" hier betekent.

helling

Grade = slant, slope. De trailer is in de berm terecht gekomen en de helling afgerold. Zoiets zou ik ervan maken.
Peer comment(s):

agree Willem Wunderink : Behalve de berm, dan.. Hij stond in een laaddock, die vloer loopt altijd schuin naar beneden om de laadvloer op werkvloerhoogte te krijgen. Maar dat zij je van harte vergeven!... ;-)

Je hebt helemaal gelijk, Willem. Dat realiseerde ik me later ook.
Something went wrong...
