CABLE RECOVERY EQUIPMENT

Application
Used for the recovery of lead covered cable without distortion or damage.

General description
The equipment consists of a stand and two quadrants. Each quadrant incorporates six specially shaped rubber rollers.
One quadrant is mounted on the stand at a manhole entrance and the other is used in the manhole to cater for the change of direction of the cable from the duct mouth.

When set up for use it is necessary to arrange the route of the cable from the duct mouth to the pulling effort to lie in one plane.

Capital cost
£25.
