This Lasher is the pull type cable lasher for tough jobs,
especially the ones that always seem to come up at night and
in dusty, wet or icy conditions. Use it to lash single or
multiple cables up to 3" outside diameter and for single and
double overlashing. It is perfect for lashing CATV and fiber
optic cable.
You won't get snagged in trees and tight places with the
Lineman™ Lasher because of the smooth-faced, tapered
cowl. The fast, easy transfer around poles for continuous
lashing is important, especially if you are paid or are paying
by the foot, the Lineman™ Lasher cuts transfer time by as
much as one-third. The wire quick-release trigger mounts
below the handle for easy, one-hand engagement and
release.
Versatility means less downtime and smooth operation. The
tough, precision drive system needs no adjustment and
delivers even lashing action. A key feature is that the
Lineman requires no strand traction to drive rotation – this
means you can now lash in any weather. The strand brake
keeps wire tight, and front-end ratchets keep the lasher from
sliding backward when forward motion is halted.
The Lineman™ Lasher holds up to 1200 ft. per coil of 0.045"
lashing wire without reloading, and works compatibly with up
to 1/2" strands. A flat base ensures the lasher won't roll
around in transit. An ergonomically engineered handle and
controls add to total precision performance.
One of the biggest problems facing cable crews is proper
lubrication of the cable.
Many people do not realize the significance of reducing the
friction during the pull, but without proper lubrication the cable can
easily be damaged by over stressing and the time and effort
required to complete the installation can grow significantly.
There is often a reluctance to use lubricants because of the
mess, the difficulty in applying the lube and time it takes to clean
up afterwards. Another issue is knowing which lubricant to use.
Some suppliers offer winter and summer grades, fiber or power
grades, products to loosen the lube as it dries, products to clean
up the lube and so on. You almost need to be a chemist to know
what you should be using and when.
Tube-Lube® 326 eliminates all of those problems as well as
solving the difficulties in the pull. One lubricant all year round, no
mess to clean up, proven lubricity, lower usage, lower pulling
forces, a choice of packaging and a choice of application methods.
The entire package described in these pages is the simple
answer for the Installation Crews who have to use lubricant in the
field, for Supervisors that have tried everything to increase
efficiency, for Purchasing managers trying to meet budgets and
for the Engineers protecting the quality of the installations.
Tube-Lube® 326 is easy and clean to use, reduces friction and
pull loads, is available in many different packages to suit all
budgets and meets all the required IEEE and ASTM standards. It
is even friendly for our Environment and the User. We believe
that no other single product can make these claims.
