Apollo Lasher
[Apolloimage]The latest word in aerial cable lashing. Perfect for all telcom cable construction, including Hybrid Fiber/Coaxial and broadband cable. With its light weight and parallel-pull capability, you'll string cable quickly and easily, over all outside plant cable routes.

From the company that pioneered the modern automatic lasher with Western Electric back in the 1940's ... comes Apollo ... a machine that's lightweight, easy-to-handle and simple to operate and maintain. Lashing technology has now advanced onto the information superhighway.

The newest addition to GMP's line of proven lashers, Apollo has all of the versatility and performance features you need to easily handle today's broadband lashing applications, solving all of the problems associated with pulling parallel to the strand and through densely crowded cable routes.

GMP engineers designed Apollo using computer-aided design and finite element analysis to achieve its high degree of durability without any excess weight. Then, we employed the very latest in high-speed CNC machining to make every part fit and perform exactly as designed. Like all our lashers, Apollo is built to last. After all, this is not just any spinner, it's a GMP lasher.

No other lasher or cable spinner will give you all of these advanced features and operating benefits:
