CONT

Diable. (...) On trouve de nombreux modèles spécialement étudiés pour des manutentions particulières: bouteilles de gaz, bonbonnes, etc.

OBS

«cabrouet» : Sur cinq dictionnaires français consultés, deux seulement font mention du mot "cabrouet", QUENC et LGRAN, et seul le second le donne comme synonyme de "diable", ce qui donne à penser qu'il est bel et bien sorti de l'usage.
