French term or phrase: ascension
Description of an ergonomic stretcher for diagnostic ultrasound.

Under the heading "capacité maximale": "capacité maximale du moteur ***lors de l'ascension*** de 450 livres (205 kg)."

I was wondering whether this could be translated as "lifting capacity" but not sure. TIA.
