German term
United Kingdom
With passion for language and technology
Native in: German 
Works in: English to German, German to English
Verlasten
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Safety
Sicherheitsvorschriften
From a machine manual, the chapter is called "Verlasten und Transport"
I have never heard the term "verlasten", it seems to be a Swiss expression?
This is a chapter with the usual safety information about transporting the machine/system. I can see no difference to a standard
"transport" chapter. The term is used a lot, e.g.:
"Lebensgefahr oder Gefahr schwerer Verletzungen beim Verlasten in engen Räumen... "
From the context it seems to mean nothing other than "Transport", but which two terms do I use in English? I was thinking "Loading and transport" but it does not actually refer to loading specifically. Or maybe "moving"?
Thanks

handling
That's what I would expect in this case ('handling and transport').
Verlasten in engen Räumen = handling in confined spaces

Comment: ""Handling" was the best solution for this context, thanks"

stowing / packing
the contexts that i find this word in lead me to believe it is the same as German "verstauen".
