Lifting workers??? What do they do? Lift stuff? Never heard of that job before. Could you be more specific?

Oh, maybe this could help, too.
There is a glossary there. The site is the Society of Petroleum Engineers, which I just got to remember one of my students is a member of.
http://www.spe.org/glossary/wiki/doku.php
"Oilfield terminology in English is not always easily translated into
other languages. To help transfer knowledge in the industry�s
literature, SPE has developed this collaborative online glossary that
will allow members to contribute terms and definitions in multiple
languages."
Note: Anyone can read the glossary. (not only for members....)
