Lift & Place Heavy Cable With Your Existing Equipment.

The Telovor Fairlead mounts to a telehandler or skid steer and guides cable into the trench or tray from as far out as 15 feet.

THE PROBLEM IT REMOVES

Cable This Heavy Has to Be Lifted by Something

Once cable comes off the reel, it still has to get into the trench or tray, and at these sizes it won’t go in by hand. So crews improvise: a custom wheel on a chain, an old car rim, a piece of equipment shoving it in while everyone hopes the jacket holds. Damaged cable is expensive.

Damage nobody catches is worse. It stays hidden until testing and energizing, then you’re hunting for the fault with the schedule already working against you.

HOW IT WORKS

A Roller Arm That Lifts and Guide Cable

The Fairlead lifts the cable and guides it in on rollers, wrapped or unwrapped. The reach adjusts out to 15 feet, so you set it to whatever the job needs instead of working around a fixed arm.

Fork pockets and a skid steer quick-attach plate are both built into the same unit, so it runs off whatever you have on site. There’s nothing to convert and nothing to order twice.

The rollers are rated at 6,000 lb (2,720 kg), which easily handles triplexed 1500 MCM (800mm) MV or HV cable with conduit and ground with room left over.

THE BUILD

You Don’t Need an Excavator on Site for This

Forklifts and skid steers are cheaper to own and cheaper to rent than an excavator. You don’t have to relocate an excavator to lift and manage cables. The Telovor keeps your excavators doing what they do best.

FAQ

What is the Telovor Fairlead?

It’s a roller arm that lifts heavy cable or conduit and guides it into a trench or cable tray, at a reach that adjusts out to 15 feet.

What equipment does it mount to?

Forklifts, telehandlers and skid steers. Fork pockets and a skid steer quick-attach plate are both built into the same unit, so nothing has to be converted.

Do I need an excavator to place heavy cable?

Not with a Fairlead. It runs off equipment that’s already on most job sites, and forklifts and skid steers are cheaper to own and rent than an excavator.

How much weight can it handle?

The rollers are rated at 5,500 lb. It handles triplexed 1500 (800mm) cable with conduit and ground with room to spare, so in practice the limit is whatever machine is carrying it.

Will it damage the cable?

It was purpose built to guide and lift cables. The entire design is built around protecting the cables while it works. It guides the cable on rollers, which is the difference between it and a chain, a wheel or a bucket.

Can it place bundled cable?

Yes, wrapped or unwrapped.

How far out does it reach?

It adjusts out to 15 feet, so you can set it to whatever the run needs. From center of machine (telehandler or skid steer) to center of rollers extended all the way out is around 11’-3” (3.43 m).

What is the biggest bundle it can hold?

The largest bundle dimensions it can lift is 12” x 12” (305 x 305 mm).
