That's easy: {qeng} "carry, convey".
The schleppers would be your {tepqengwI'pu'}! (Of course, {tepqengwI'} is
glossed as "cargo carrier" in TKD I believe, but on the BoP Poster there
was another {tepqengwI'} labeled "cargo lift" on the cargo deck {tep
choQ}. It looked like a sort of crane, though maybe it was a tractor beam
emitter for moving boxes and other containers {ngaSwI'mey} around). You
can all gripe about how the KLI should have provided a {tep jolpat} "cargo
transporter", and if someone should trip, you've got a ready-made pun about
the {lu qeng} "The Fall of Kang"! <g>
If you want, you could also ponder whether you're all schlepping {tep}
"cargo, goods" or {luch} "equipment, gear" or just plain {'aH} "paraphernalia".
