Spanish term

totem

Spanish to English Other
Reclamación por parte de un particular de una sanción económica y posible clausura del centro por posible negligencia en el montage de un totem que cayó sobre el vehículo de este particular estando este en el vehículo.

O.K. since it's not very common to find totem poles in a garage where cars are repaired, I'm pretty sure that this must be a car lift or something similar, but could someone confirm this translation.
Thanks :-)

agree Refugio : Although I couldn't connect with your link, I agree. The text doesn't say the totem was inside the garage, in fact, if it had been, the customer would not have been in his car.
