The Thomson Cable Drum Carrier is designed for cable drums up to 5 tonnes in weight. The basic model is shown in this page documentation but other models in the range incorporate brakes and / or power drive to the drum shaft.

A unique feature of the standard model is the way the drum shaft is supported. Rather than being supported by plain bushes which have a relatively high friction, the drum shaft of the Thomson Cable Handler rests on hardened steel rollers which themselves run on low friction ball bearings.

This means that very little force needs to be applied to the cable when dispensing from the drum and this feature makes the Thomson Cable Handler especially suitable for delicate cables such as optical fibre.

The Cable Drum Carrier may be supplied with both rigid and turntable mounts.
