Target text:
Machinery: This type of equipment is loaded by means of rolling *on their own wheels*?

I would say something like:

Machinery: This type of equipment is loaded by rolling it on its own wheels.

Is propias significant in the original text? Would it mean the same if it were removed?

Machinery: This type of equipment is loaded by rolling it on its own wheels.

That sounds good to me.

If we knew what it was loaded onto, we could say, for example, "this type of equipment is rolled on its own wheels into the truck."

Is propias significant in the original text? Would it mean the same if it were removed?

It's significant because it is used in contrast to loading a piece of heavy equipment by putting it on a dolly or other wheeled conveyance.

Aye, good point.
I know all about dollies, having worked as a furniture mover in the US.

"This type of equipment is loaded by rolling it on its own wheels" its okay!!

Is propias significant in the original text? Would it mean the same if it were removed?

in the text " propias" means that the machinery has it own wheels, so the wheels are part of the machinery
