Cable Pusher 5050

SKU: 5050-1000
Cable Feeder 5050 is a heavy‑duty and reliable cable feeder designed to actively push power cables forward in trenches, thereby reducing mechanical stress on the cable during installation. By assisting the cable movement, the required pulling force from the winch is significantly reduced, improving installation safety and minimizing the risk of cable damage. This is especially beneficial on long routes, sharp bends, or sections with level differences.

The frame consists of two rigid steel side plates mounted on a solid base plate with provisions for four anchoring stakes, ensuring stable fixation to the ground. The feeder is typically positioned before sharp bends or elevation changes in the trench, where cable tensile forces would otherwise increase. The construction is optimized for demanding environments within power distribution, industrial installations, and infrastructure projects.

The drive system is based on a heavy‑duty steel chain with vulcanized rubber pads, providing consistent traction while protecting the cable sheath. The drive mat runs on maintenance‑free ball bearings, ensuring long service life and smooth operation. The cable is pressed against the drive mat by spring‑loaded nylon pressure rollers, which are easily adjustable for cable diameters up to Ø 110 mm. The rollers feature a slight taper, allowing stable feeding of triangular‑shaped cables as well. Ball‑bearing‑mounted vertical guide rollers are fitted at both the inlet and outlet of the feeder and can be quickly adjusted sideways using quick‑locking knobs for precise cable alignment.

Part of the Sahlins drive unit system
Cable Feeder 5050 is part of the Sahlins modular drive unit system and can be powered by petrol, diesel, electric, or hydraulic drive units, depending on site conditions. All drive options are designed for industrial use and are characterized by high reliability, robust construction, and long service life. A standardized coupling system allows the same drive unit to be used across multiple Sahlins machines without modification, providing maximum flexibility and efficient logistics on site.
