Space and energy saving caterpillar Rosendahl has introduced a new, updated and extended portfolio of caterpillars for the wire and cable industry.

ROCA caterpillars are designed for more efficient cable production, especially of medium- and large-sized cables. Due to a new synchronisation concept the power transmission of both belts is equal; strain on the cable and energy consumption are both reduced. To cover a wide range of products the ROCA caterpillars are available in different sizes. The individual models are available with gripping length of between 1,200mm and 3,000mm and with maximum traction forces of up to 44,000N. The design is modular, allowing for an optimised configuration of speed, traction force and gripping length, according to the individual requirements of the user.
