- improper lasher size or
adjustment may damage
cables.
Multiple Cable Puller
Allows multiple cables to be pulled into place
when lashing
cables directly

equipped with a
strand brake to
prevent sagging of cables as the pulling tension
is released. Allows pulled cables to indepen-
dently swivel.
Overlash Cable Puller
Allows multiple cables to be pulled into place in
overlash applications.
Allows pulled cables
to independently
swivel.

Cable Positioner (or Magic Box)
Pushed in front of a lasher
by a cable block pusher
to uniformly position mul-
tiple cables that are being

applications. Can be used for new strand or overlash
applications. The guide may
be pushed in front of the
lasher with a cable block
pusher, pulled in front of the
