French term
accrocheur
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Manufacturing
metal furniture
"un poste d'accrocheur à la salle de peinture"
Context: an unemployment insurance appeal. The appellant refused this job because "cette fonction ... lui imposait une exigence très physique ..."
The company in question "designs and manufactures composite painted tubular and steel sheet residential furniture" in Quebec. Termium gives equivalents in the fields of oil drilling ("derrickman") and railroads ("coupler"). Eurodicautom also gives "coupler" in the fields of metallurgy and employment. But I'm having trouble visualizing what this person's job is. Maybe "coupler" is correct but I would feel comfortable with some confirmation. Many of the hits I've had show "coupler" as a part, not a person.
Thanks.

CMJ_Trans is right, it's the person who hooks up the items to be painted and then unhooks them.

: I agree. I have seen automotive part automatic painting lines. The parts have to be hung on support hooks on a conveyor. Even if this is not conveyor equipped situation, the part would still need to be attached to support hooks in the painting cabin.
