English translation:bottles, cylinders
Explanation:
Lyhenne 'pll' näkyy olevan käytössä tarkoittaen 'pulloa/pullollista'. Evidenssiä löytty netistä aika paljon, mm. täältä:

http://www.4h.fi/nuorten_sivut/4h-top-tehtavat/koti_ja_keitt...

Tässä tapauksessa pullot kyllä ovat aika painavia (300 kg). Ne voisivat olla kaasupulloja, siis englanniksi 'cylinders'.

Actually, I also thought first that it could mean 'pallet', but then I didn't find even a single hit in the Finnish pages of the net where 'pll' would have been used in this meaning. Whereas there are hundreds of hits where 'pll' is used in the meaning 'bottles'.

Thanks for your help here Timo. Your suggestion is a sensible one. However, on reflection, my suspicion is that PLL is an (English) abbreviation for "pallets" on this occasion!
