German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Ships, Sailing, Maritime / Equipment used for undersea cabling
German term or phrase: Spülschlitten
This is the complete paragraph:

Beim Simultaneous Lay and Burial erfolgen Ablegen und Eingraben des Kabels in einem Arbeitsgang. Hierzu wird beispielsweise ein Spülschwert, ein Spülschlitten oder ein Unterwasserpflug verwendet. Diese Arbeitsgeräte erzeugen im Seeboden einen Graben und führen das Kabel gleichzeitig darin ein.

The part of the document I am dealing with concerns the whole process of laying undersea cables. The three words, Spülschwert, Spülschlitten and Unterwasserpflug, are a little problematic because there is a certain amount of similarity in the use of them.

They have to fit into the context.

I would appreciate help on these words, please I do not want the humble opnion of anyone, nor 2 second google answers.
