Reel-O-Matic RL-2 Cable Lasher

The Reel-O-Matic RL-2 is a used cable lasher engineered for attaching aerial cable to messenger strand in telephone, cable television, and power distribution line work. Reel-O-Matic has long supplied cable handling and reel equipment to the utility industry, and this lasher shares that build quality in a simple, serviceable design. The unit has been used previously and shows wear typical of field service, though it remains mechanically functional. In operation, the RL-2 travels along the strand while feeding lashing wire from an onboard reel through a rotating lasher head, binding the cable to the strand at a steady wrap interval. This creates a secure attachment able to withstand wind loading and thermal cycling over the life of the aerial run. Rollers, bearings, and the wire-feed path were checked before listing to confirm smooth, even operation. This lasher suits line construction crews, telecom contractors, and utility maintenance teams needing a working unit for aerial cable attachment on new builds or repair jobs. It represents a lower-cost path to adding lashing capability compared to purchasing new. Offered as used equipment in operable condition.
