Installing Swa high level

[cliffed]

Just installed a 70 mm 4 core Swa,height 5m on existing ladder rack.
120m,straight run with 90° turn.
Struggled with what we had but it’s in.
Just wondering have you guys ever used a cable winch to actually pull in a cable like this,is it easier ?
Also what labour would you have,& how many scissor lifts.
There’s gotta be an easier way,than we’ve just had.

Have used a scissor lift as the cable winch many times. Fine if you supervise the cable properly.

That’s what the cable gang monkeys are for.

Well am pulling in a 35 mm 4 core 75 meters useing rope . Just got the rope in and now have seen techscrew (about 100of them ) coming though the side , so up I go with a hammer to take the heads off . No Scissor lift here can't get it in up and down the ladder for me
