loading faces
Explanation:
frente (mining) = rock face where the ore is extracted

example in English:

"... chain loading requires a loader for each bucket load needed to fill the truck. The loaders line up along the loading face and move straight in and out from the face. The truck passes between the face and the loaders and stops underneath the raised bucket of each loader to receive a bucket load."

loading zone (dimensions of the loading zone)


Explanation:
Need more context for certainty, but most likely it is "loading zone", as in:

"Una pala necesita un frente de carguío mínimo de 65 m de ancho y carga camiones que se van colocando alternativamente a cada lado de ella."

agree  Michael McCann: Yes, agree - from the context, it seems to be in a quarry, not in a yard
