Over the more than 70 years that CASAR ropes have been produced, we have met with many really extraordinary rope applications. One that would always make it into the top ten if such a list of highlights existed is the cable plough from Frank Föckersperger. In this type of application, as the name suggests, cables and pipes are ploughed into the ground. During this process, the plough is pulled with a rope winch attached to an all-terrain towing vehicle that is equipped with a support plate. The ploughshare is used at the start of the marked-out route in a starting pit that is set at the same depth as the laying depth. Due to the tensile force of the rope winch, the ploughshare displaces the earth and any stones present in the line-placement zone. It smooths the pit bottom at the same time through the vertically and horizontally moveable laying shaft. This creates a hollow space in which the line can be laid tension-free at the desired depth.
