Austin’s Live Cable Reels are designed to be pulled by a dozer in conjunction with movements of the dragline. The side-mounted boom allows a D-10 class dozer to pass under the cable while moving from one end of the cable handler to the other.
The cable reel pays out cable at a steady, safe tension as the dragline works its way down the cut. The cable handler can be activated to rewind the cable by remote control or at the reel.
