Tech/Engineering - Agriculture / Silage trailer parts
German term or phrase: Aufbaubügel
Die Aufbaubügel können um 12 cm höhenverstellt werden.

This is part of a silage trailer, the sections at the back that can be lifted up (as it says in the text). I´m not sure of the technical term in English.

Many thanks!

superstructure frame
Explanation:
Silage is, as I´m sure you know, not much more than `fermented grass´ - and cattle just love it! The trailer used to transport it needs to have high sides to prevent it being scattered by winds - this would be the superstructure. These side panels/sheeting/meshes need to be secured - to the frame. The frame can then be adjusted - by up to 12 cm - to take larger loads.

Explanation:
Aufbau... according to Ernst = built-on, base mounted
Buegel = bow

unfortunately, I have not been able to find references to back it up, but maybe it is a start for you
