Dodete
Vibrante duplex Lebrero

Bufador
Horse-breacker
Water pump
Maquina de cortar
Moto esbrosadora
Grupo electrógeno pequeño
Grupo electrógeno grande
motosoldador

Demolidor
Vivalda

Part of the problem is that even in their Spanish list, they are using common names for certain machines and technical names for others.
I asked the company for a manual to have an idea of what this machines are (I already translated a few that I found looking at websites of other construction companies), but I have a feeling that I will have to ask for it again.

Any suggestions are welcome.
Happy holidays!

You may already know about this but just in case you don't
http://europa.eu.int/eurodicautom/Controller

Then of course there are the ProZ glossaries and looking in google for the bilingual sites, of which there are quite a few for construction machinery.
Hope something of this is useful
