Definition
装卸 combines two opposite actions: 装 (to load / to assemble) and 卸 (to unload / to disassemble). It most often refers to physically loading and unloading goods (e.g., from a truck or ship), but it's also used in technical contexts for assembling and disassembling equipment or components. The word is a coordinate compound, so both senses are equally active depending on context.
v.
to load and unload (goods, cargo)to assemble and disassemble (machinery, parts)
