German term

Bauteilewagen

German to English Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space Aircraft engineering
Context:

"Die betreffende Baugruppe wird ausschließlich im Bauteilewagen transportiert"

In the specifications (Lastenheft) for an installation (cf. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/4445683 etc.).

I expect that this may be "part trolley/cart/truck" or "component trolley/cart/truck", but can't find any evidence to back such a literal translation up. Can anyone confirm what these trolleys are actually called in the industry? I seem to remember trolleys also being referred to as "dollys" in some contexts, may that apply here?

* Sentence or paragraph where the term occurs: See above
* Document type: Performance specifications
* Target audience: Engineers/contractors

If it is for Europe, I would tend to use trolley instead of cart

Seems to be the term used for Boeing planes. See photo towards the bottom of the page from the first link. Second link is a Google search for Boeing and "parts cart".

The BE must be "parts trolley". Found lots of hits for this at Google.

Great, thanks, although my context tends more towards EADS/Airbus.
