These accessories can help guide cables through routes while reducing unnecessary friction and protecting the cable during installation.

Cable Drum Transport Trailers

Large cable drums can be difficult to move and position manually.

Cable drum transport trailers provide a practical method for transporting cable drums to the work area and positioning them for cable installation.

Sahmas lists cable drum transport trailers with capacities ranging from 3 tons to 15 tons, providing options for different cable drum sizes and project requirements.

Cable Drum Jacks

Cable drum jacks are used to lift and support cable drums while allowing the drum to rotate during cable pulling.

Available options include:

• Hydraulic cable drum lifting jacks

• Mechanical cable drum jacks

• Tower cable drum jacks

The appropriate jack should be selected according to the drum weight, dimensions and installation requirements.

Cable Drum Rotators

Cable drum rotators can assist with controlled cable payout from drums.

They can be useful during long cable installations where smooth and controlled drum rotation is required.

Correct drum support and alignment are important for maintaining safe cable handling throughout the installation process.

Cable Laying Rollers

Cable rollers are among the most important accessories for cable installation.

They help guide the cable along its route and can reduce contact between the cable and the ground, trench, cable tray or other surfaces.

The Sahmas range includes:

• Narrow rollers

• Straight rollers

• Long straight rollers

• Triple corner rollers

• Corner rollers for cable trays

• Heavy-duty cross rollers

• Medium-duty cross rollers

• Horizontal/vertical rollers

• Suspension rollers

• Manhole rollers

• 4-way guide rollers

Straight Cable Rollers

Straight rollers are designed for relatively straight cable routes and can help maintain cable alignment during pulling.

Corner Cable Rollers

When a cable route changes direction, corner rollers can help guide the cable around bends.

Triple corner roller configurations and cable-tray corner rollers are available for different installation requirements.

Cross Rollers

Cross rollers can be used where cables need to pass across changes in direction or through demanding cable-routing locations.

Sahmas lists both medium-duty and heavy-duty cross rollers.

Manhole Rollers

Manhole rollers are designed for cable installations involving underground routes and manholes.

They can help guide cables into or through manholes while supporting the cable and reducing contact with edges.

Bellmouths

Bellmouths are cable-entry accessories used to provide a smoother transition when pulling cables through ducts, pipes or conduits.

Sahmas lists both:

• Bellmouth without roller

• Bellmouth with roller

Choosing the correct bellmouth size and configuration is important for the cable diameter and duct arrangement.

Swivel Links & Anti-Twist Accessories

Cable pulling can create twisting forces in the cable.

Swivel links, also referred to as anti-twist accessories, can be installed between the pulling arrangement and cable pulling grip to help reduce torsional forces during cable installation.

Sahmas includes Swivel Link (Anti Twist) in its cable-laying accessories range.

Cable Pulling Grips

Cable pulling grips are used to connect pulling equipment to cables during installation.

The available range includes:

• Stocking single-eye cable pulling grips

• Stocking double-eye cable pulling grips

• Stocking open-type cable pulling grips

The correct pulling grip should be selected according to the cable construction, diameter, pulling load and installation method.

Cable Crimping Tools

Cable termination and connection work requires appropriate crimping equipment.

Sahmas offers hydraulic and battery-operated cable crimping solutions, including:

• Hydraulic Crimping Head CH-400H

• Hydraulic Crimping Head CH-1000H

• Battery Operated Hydraulic Crimping Tool BCT-400C

• Hydraulic Crimping Head CH-400C

• 6–120 mm² Crimper

• Hydraulic Crimping Head CH-630H

• Manual Hydraulic Crimping Tool MCT-400C

These tools can be used for cable lug and connector installation where the tool's specifications match the conductor and connector requirements.

Cable Cutting Tools

Cable cutting equipment is used during cable preparation and installation.

The Sahmas range includes:

• Hand Cable Cutter CC-500

• Cable Cutting Head CH-85

• Battery Operated Cable Cutting Tool BCT-55

• Ratchet Cable Cutter RC-500

• Cable Cutting Head CH-105

• Ratchet Cable Cutter RCH-70

Selecting the appropriate cutter according to cable type and size helps achieve clean and controlled cable preparation.

Cable Duct Accessories

Underground cable installation frequently requires duct preparation and inspection.

Sahmas provides:

• Duct Mandrel

• Duct Brush

• Duct Rod 

These accessories can assist with preparing, cleaning and checking cable ducts before cable pulling.

Proper duct preparation can help identify obstructions and reduce installation difficulties.

Hydraulic Pumps

Hydraulic equipment used with crimping and other hydraulic tools requires a suitable power source.

Sahmas lists:

• Hydraulic Foot Pump HP-700

• Battery Operated Pump BHP-700 

The appropriate pump should be matched to the hydraulic tool and required operating pressure.

Hydraulic Cutting & Crimping Tools

For applications where both cable cutting and crimping are required, Sahmas offers the Battery Operated Hydraulic Crimping & Cutting Tool BCC-400.

A combined cutting and crimping solution can be useful for field installation teams that need portable equipment for cable preparation and termination.

Cable Stripping Tools

Cable stripping is an important stage of cable preparation before termination.

Sahmas lists the Peeling Knife PK-400 as part of its cable stripping-tool range.

The stripping method and tool must always be appropriate for the cable construction to avoid damaging the conductor or insulation.

Cable Punching Tools

Cable installation and electrical construction work can also require hydraulic punching equipment.

Sahmas offers:

• Hydraulic Punch Driver MPT-90

• Hydraulic Punch Driver BPT-90

These tools can support field fabrication and electrical installation activities where suitable punching operations are required.

Cable Installation Applications

Cable laying equipment can be used across a variety of projects, including:

• Power distribution projects

• Electrical infrastructure

• Underground cable installation

• Cable-tray installation

• Industrial facilities

• Utility projects

• Renewable-energy projects

• Commercial construction

• Infrastructure development

• Substation projects

• Data and communication infrastructure

• Maintenance and expansion projects

The actual equipment combination depends on cable size, weight, route configuration, installation method and site conditions.
