General Machine Products GMP Cablelasher CL-1500

This used GMP Cablelasher CL-1500 is a heavy duty aerial cable lashing machine built for crews that need to attach communication or power cables to a messenger wire quickly and securely. It rides along the strand and wraps steel or stainless lashing wire around the cable and messenger in a continuous helical pattern, producing a consistent, tight bond that keeps the cable stable in wind and temperature swings. The frame is constructed to survive daily use on utility poles and long spans, and this unit shows normal wear consistent with active field service. Crews use lashers like this one for telephone, CATV, and fiber optic drop and distribution cable installation where the cable must be secured to an existing steel strand. The reel carriage accepts standard lashing wire spools, and the drive mechanism is adjustable to match line speed to lashing pitch so technicians can dial in the wrap tightness for different cable diameters and job specifications. It remains a practical, cost effective option for contractors expanding aerial plant or performing rebuild work. Because it is sold used, the machine has already proven itself on real jobs and is priced well below new equipment costs. It has been inspected for smooth rotation of the wire guides and rollers and functions as expected for continued lashing work. This is a good fit for telecom contractors, CATV installers, or utility crews looking to add a dependable lasher to their fleet without paying for a brand new unit.
