German term

Radrückenabstand

German to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping rail drive system
Radrückenabstand 1360 mm

This is part of the description of the "Zweiwegeteil" (rail-road component) of the rail drive system of a truck, enabling it to travel on rails, to clean them, in this case. The other parts described are the Schienenführungseinrichtung, Schienenfahrwerk and Schieneräder.

Using devastating logic, it would mean the distance between the inside of the wheels but maybe my logic is totally devastating!
Proposed translations (English)

wheels, back-to-back

You're spot on, Robein, and this is how it could be described in a table, for example.

Sorry for the typo, Robin...
You might need "Road" or "rail", depending on which wheels you mean...
