will be transported by their own means Explanation: Please see my translation suggestion in context: Source: El equipo liviano (volquetes, cisternas, etc.) lo hará por sus propios medios Suggested translation: The lighter-weigh equipment (tipper lorries (UK)/dump tracks (US), tankers, etc.) will be transported/moved by their (= his or her) means. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 37 mins (2020-10-02 16:54:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Lighter-weight (a "t" was missing), sorry -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2020-10-02 23:05:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Dump trucks", of course. Sorry for this second typo. |
