Cable Placer and Stringer Rentals for Fast, Safe Overhead Line Installation

Installing and maintaining overhead cable systems requires speed, accuracy, and specialized access - especially when working in dense urban areas or hard-to-reach suburban environments. For telecom contractors, utility providers, and municipalities, delays and imprecision aren't just inconvenient - they're costly. That's why having the right cable placer rental is essential to keeping crews productive and networks online.

At TRL Rents, we offer a specialized selection of cable placer equipment designed to meet the demands of both new aerial construction and maintenance work. Whether you're placing strand, pulling fiber, or servicing existing cable infrastructure, our units deliver the reach, cable control, and on-the-go flexibility needed to keep operations moving.

Cable Placer

We offer two purpose-built models to support different phases of overhead cable projects. Whether you're tackling large-scale fiber construction or routine maintenance, our VTP 40 and STP 36 cable placers ensure safe, efficient access to overhead lines with the right features for your specific needs. Each model is designed to maximize uptime and minimize setup time in the field.

VTP 40: For Construction and New Line Placement

The VTP 40 is ideal for telecom and utility crews engaged in fiber installation or strand placement during network buildouts. This model is mounted on a heavy-duty chassis such as the Ford F-750 or Chevrolet 5500 and features a telescopic boom with 40-45 ft of working height, offering extended reach and maneuverability in the air.

Key features include:

  • Integrated reel carrier and cable guide system for strand and fiber deployment
  • Cable winder with brake and tension control
  • Non-insulated boom designed for telecom and broadband applications
  • Upper and lower controls for precise positioning

Thanks to its integrated stringing capabilities, the VTP 40 enables crews to pull, tension, and position cable in one seamless operation - ideal for fast-paced construction and rural buildouts.

STP 36: For Cable Maintenance and Service Work

The STP 36 is built for aerial cable maintenance, including splicing, repairs, and mid-span access. With a 36 ft working height and lightweight design, it's ideal for crews handling service calls or managing routine network upkeep.

Key features include:

  • Compact design for easy navigation through tight urban areas
