Other installation applications are coaxial cable, sub duct and even in certain conditions HV power cables. All cable winches can be quickly pre-set so they do not exceed the required pulling tension.ĭesigned to keep up with the fast moving telecommunications industry these winches were developed to meet the requirements for both the installation of delicate Fibre Cables where low pulling tensions are necessary and also for the more heavier Copper Cables. Simple in operation and robustly engineered, these units are fitted with heavy duty diesel engines powering hydraulic transmission for smooth controlled pulling, and are fitted with a console mounted line tension indicator so the operator has a visual display of the pulling force applied.
