GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Romanian term or phrase:ifron (încărcător frontal)
English translation:front/grapple loader

Tech/Engineering - Forestry / Wood / Timber / utilaj pt încãrcarea lemnului
Romanian term or phrase: ifron
Context nu pot să dau, e o înşiruire de utilaje achiziţionate pentru înfiinţarea unui atelier de prelucrare a lemnului.
Ifronul arată aşa: http://www.irum.ro/ro/produse/ifron204d.html şi bănuiesc că e un nume de firmă producatoare sau de marcă devenit nume de utilaj, care utilaj în cazul nostru se foloseşte la încărcat, deci eu i-aş spune “loader”. La “încărcător cu graifăr” dicţionarul tehnic îmi dă “loader with grab bucket”. Pe Google am găsit “grab bucket unloader”, dar probabil că poate să şi încarce, nu doar să descarce…

Tocmai am avut o experienţă care-mi alimentează suspiciunea faţă de dicţionarul tehnic şi am nevoie de confirmare. Bottomline is: pot să-i spun ifronului cu graifăr “grab bucket loader” sau nu pot? :)

grapple loader
Explanation:
I think this matches what is in your picture fairly closely:

To me it doesn't really look much like a "bucket", since a bucket would be more like this:

http://www.rocklandmfg.com/loaders/bucket_forks.html

Okay, so it's a "bucket fork", but you see what I mean! It doesn't look like a container, more like a "claw" which grips the logs.

And here are some "log grapples":

bucket loader


Explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_loader

A loader, also called a front loader, front end loader, bucket loader, scoop loader or shovel, is a type of tractor, usually wheeled, that uses a wide square tilting bucket on the end of movable arms to lift and move material.

Imaginea din linkul dat de tine pare sa arate un front loader... Sunt site-uri care fac diferenta dintre front loader (cazul IFRON 204-D din imagine) si bucket loader (cel cu graifer).

Sper ca nu sunt complet pe dinafara :)

agree  alina_p: Yup... According to the same technical dictionary, grapple means "graifăr" as well, and it does seem more appropriate.
