Dutch term or phrase: bok
Het is een A-vormig ding op wielen, dat onder de voorkant van een oplegger gezet wordt bij het stallen van de oplegger. Sorry geen verdere context. Komt voor in een arbo tekst over verplaatsen van objecten. Een link naar een plaatje van die bok zou ook erg gewaardeerd worden.

MTIA,
