Hi!
I've been searching for the name of "slusher" in Castilian Spanish with no luck. This machinery used in mining seems to be similar to a dragline (dragalina in Spanish) because it also drags sand or stones but it does so "across the pit and up the side of the spoil pile", as it is explained in this URL: http://www.bosmin.com/OS/os1.htm. It is the one on the left of the picture.
Does anyone know how a slusher is called in Spanish?
Thank you so much for you help!
