låsning

Swedish to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks lifting forks
Context: Gaffeltext, i.e. a test made on the lifting fork itself (not on the entire forklift as a vehicle).

There is Låsning Vänster and Låsning Höger. Both are unchecked.

The lifting fork in question has been approved.
Proposed translations (English)
2 locking (system/mechanism)

Further context FWIW These are two out of many list items in a table entitled 'Kontrollpunkter': Gaffelvinkel, Märkning, Låsning, Rakhet bäryta, Sprickbildning [for each of the above, there's ~ Vänster and ~ Höger], then Gaffellängd [just one item], and finally Slitage vänster gaffel and Slitage höger gaffel [for each of which there's mått A and mått B]...

@ m_a=a It has to be something like "locking" or "jamming" but the two words have very different connotations.
Do you have any further context that could help?

locking (system/mechanism)

From the details you added, it's an inspection that there is conformity to the specification rather than some sort of hiccup (jamming)
Technically, it must be "locking" but most English people would add a word like "system" or "mechanism" , even though the Swedish does not
This is why I remain at a lowish level of confidence
Something went wrong...
