jack
simplest form for a silly Dutch word. Dompen is the vertical movement of a ship, and has never been used in the above context, as far as I can tell.
So here's a simple version: jacking them out.
Do ask the client though to be so kind as to provide you with a picture of a dompbok...if they can't: it's their problem.

Comment: "According to the client this was a "lifting jack", Stützbock in German. Thank you very much for your idea, it was what I used in the translation."
