J2 Cable Lasher

The J2 Cable Lasher is used to lash an overhead cable, duct or numerous cables to a supporting strand (messenger) or to an existing lashed cable with stainless steel lashing wire.

The J2 Lasher’s design also gives it maximum service life. The body is cylindrical to help it slip more easily through branches and obstructions. There is a built-in mechanical brake to prevent unintended reversal, and an automatic drum lock for easy span transfers. There is also an all-range tensioning device for optimum strand traction with high strength front and rear gates for tighter lashing.
