Benefits of fiber optic cable installation trailers

Larson Cable Reel Trailers have been rigorously tested and are proven to handle nearly every brand of fiber optic cable safely; documentation is available upon request. The trailers are perfect for rolling off “job lengths” of fiber from a master reel, enabling contractors to manage large reel purchases more efficiently by cutting as needed for specific jobs. This is especially crucial at a time when fiber is hard to obtain and ordering in large quantities is more practical.

Additionally, our trailers can quickly convert to fiber blowing trailers with the Fiber Blowing Attachment, further enhancing their versatility. In plowing operations, the trailer can be positioned ahead of the plow train, figure 8’ing cable and pulling it through bores to keep. This enables the plow train to keep moving without delays, which increases overall production. The Plow-Mount Kit allows for figure 8’ing directly from the reel carrier on your plow, powered by the tractor’s hydraulics. Saving time and effort by eliminating the need to transfer reels!

For operations where visibility is a challenge, a Remote Control Unit is available, allowing a second operator to control the trailer remotely up to 1500’. This ensures precise management of the cable handling process.

Invest in a Larson Cable Reel Trailer to not only boost your production but also cut labor costs dramatically. This transforms a traditional 5-6 person task into a more efficient 2-person operation that can potentially double your daily production. This strategic investment can quickly pay for itself—some companies have reported covering the cost in just two weeks due to increased productivity. Equip your team with Larson Cable Reel Trailers and revolutionize how you handle fiber optic cable.
