Telsta Model A Cable Lasher

The Telsta Model A is a classic aerial lashing machine that has been a mainstay for telephone and cable television line crews for decades. It travels along a suspended steel strand, drawing the communication cable alongside it while wrapping lashing wire around both in a tight spiral to hold the cable firmly in place. This used unit has been maintained for regular outdoor service and still performs the core lashing function reliably. This style of lasher is valued for its simple mechanical design, which makes it easy to service in the field with common tools and minimal downtime. Line crews appreciate that the wire tensioning and guide rollers can be adjusted to accommodate different cable sizes, from small drop wires to larger distribution cables, giving the tool versatility across job types. Its compact size also allows it to be carried up in a bucket truck or hauled along the strand by hand for shorter spans. Buying this lasher used is an economical way for a contractor to add capacity during a busy build season or to have a backup unit on hand. It has been inspected for proper rotation and wire feed prior to listing, and it is ready to go back into service on aerial cable installation or rebuild projects.
