Double Drum Wiring Unit

    The Basic Vehicle

    The Drum carrier is towed by a 27 Tonne giga railer that enables sufficient braking and tension on steep gradient or high radial load track.

    The unit is two hydraulically operated cable drum carriers, together with wire manipulating rollers both fore and aft.

    The drum carriers are designed to dispense wire at 75% full tension. They can push wire out and reel it in.

    The manipulating rollers capture the wire and move both laterally and vertically. Horizontal rollers within each roller assembly allow two wires to be dispensed simultaneously, one above the other.
