Translators in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) are solitons of the mean curvature flow for embedded 2-surfaces. In the semigraphical case, where the translators are allowed graphical as well as vertical components, Hoffman-Martín-White classified the surfaces into six types. They conjectured the uniqueness of the objects within two families contained in slabs, the "helicoids" and the "pitchforks," for any given width. We present the proof of the conjecture by combining an arc-counting argument motivated by Morse-Radó theory for translators with a rotational application of the maximum principle. We then discuss applications of this result to the classification of semigraphical translators in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) and their limits, related to the work of Hoffman-Martín-White and Gama-Martín-Møller. This is joint work with F. Martín and M. Sáez.
