German term or phrase: seitlichen Schiebebalken
"Die Wissenschaft bekommt von all dem nur selten etwas mit, so XXX YYY: „Das Schlimmste war bisher, dass der Heckgalgen mal für zwei Monate ausgefallen ist. Da hat sich dann aber herausgestellt, dass sich die Dredge über den seitlichen Schiebebalken sogar noch besser fahren lässt als übers Heck.“ So ist seit der Indienststellung im November 2014 noch kein einziger Tag für die Wissenschaft ausgefallen."

IATE has it as "fore and aft beam," but when I google "lateral fore and aft beam," I get no hits. Wikipedia has a description in German: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schiebebalken_(Schiffbau) Any ideas on what this might be called in English?

p. 44 Section 8.3 of PDF Specifications for Maria S. Merian: large jib crane (200 kN) > 200 kN Schiebebalken

'Seitlich' is redundant, based on the Wikipedia description: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schiebebalken_(Schiffbau)


The R/V Atlantis has a deck crane: http://www.whoi.edu/main/ships/atlantis/scientific-equipment...

Maybe you are looking for the 'boom' of such a crane. 'The Boom: The boom is probably the crane’s most outstanding and identifiable feature – this is the long, telescopic or fixed arm that is used to move objects' http://www.klclutch.com/cranes/science-behind-boom-cranes/

'Crane' might be OK. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/crane
