Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering
Italian term or phrase: mezzi d'opera
This term appears in the general terms and conditions for the installation of temporary exhibition structures.
The context is "movimentazione e installazione di tutte le attrezzature e macchinari o *mezzi d’opera* nonché dei materiali approvvigionati".
I think it is a reference to vehicles like diggers, bulldozers etc. but I can't think of a general term in English.
Many thanks
