The Cable Placing Shoe is a versatile shoe which makes lashing or pulling in cable easier. When placing a cable in one operation, run the Cable Placing Shoe ahead of the lasher to raise the cable from reel to strand. When pulling the cable, secure the Cable Placing Shoe to first pole and raise cable up over the shoe. The Cable Placing Shoe comes equipped with a locking pin so it can't jump the strand. The Cable Placing Shoe is made of lightweight cast aluminum. The arms and rollers are made of plated steel.
