Cable Laying Rollers & Manhole Guide Rollers

Heavy-duty cable pulling rollers for underground and trench cable installation — straight, triple corner, manhole guide and bend rollers. Galvanized steel frame, aluminium or nylon rollers on sealed bearings. Up to 200mm cable, 10 kN load. Reduces pulling force and protects the cable sheath. Supplied across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, including utility cable projects in Dubai, Riyadh and Doha. Product Overview What It Is Cable laying rollers (cable pulling rollers) support and guide power and communication cables during underground, trench and cable-tray installation. By converting the sliding friction between the cable and the ground into rolling friction, they dramatically reduce the pulling force required and protect the cable sheath from abrasion damage. The range covers straight, corner, manhole guide and bend rollers to suit every point in a cable route. Who Uses It Electrical contractors, MEP contractors, cable-pulling crews, utility and infrastructure installers. Where It Is Used Underground cable trenches, duct banks, cable tray routes, substation cable pits, road and utility crossings, and manhole/duct entries across power distribution (DEWA, SEC, KAHRAMAA), oil & gas, infrastructure and building projects throughout the GCC. Roller Types — One for Every Point in the Route Straight Cable Roller Placed every 2–3 metres along straight trench sections to keep the cable off the ground during the pull. Standard and wide-base versions. Load: 250–300 kg · Cable: up to 200mm Triple Corner Roller Three rollers in a steel tubular frame to guide cable around sharp corners. Link multiple units with stake pins to form any turning angle while respecting bend radius. Load: up to 10 kN · Cable: up to 155mm Manhole Guide Roller Two vertical waisted rollers plus a horizontal roller, mounted at a manhole or duct entrance to feed cable smoothly down into a vertical duct. Galvanized or stainless. Load: 300 kg · Cable: up to 155mm Bend / Vertical-Horizontal Roller Vertical, horizontal and skid bend rollers to take the cable around a smooth bend rather than a sharp corner. Combine vertical + horizontal for cable above 130mm. Type: Vertical · Horizontal · Skid V-Groove / Drum Feed Roller V-groove pipe roller that centralises and leads the cable from the drum into the trench. Placed just behind the cable drum as a run-off guide. Use: Drum run-off & feed-in 4-Roller Cable Protection Four-roller box that fully surrounds the cable for maximum protection and guidance at high-sidewall-pressure points or tight duct entries. Use: Full-surround protection Technical Specifications Typical Specifications by Roller Type Roller Type Max Cable Dia.

Protects the Cable Sheath Supports the cable off the ground and guides it smoothly around corners within its minimum bend radius — preventing abrasion, sheath damage and the costly rejection of a damaged cable at test. Sealed Maintenance-Free Bearings Rollers run on sealed, water-proofed ball bearings that need no maintenance — reliable in muddy, wet and dusty trench conditions across GCC construction sites. Link-Pin Modular System Corner and bend rollers share universal link-pin mount positions, so units can be linked together to build any turning angle or a full bend configuration from standard components. Waisted Roller Profile The waisted (hourglass) roller shape centralises the cable and stops it climbing or slipping off the roller during the pull — critical on corner and manhole rollers where the cable is under side load. Corrosion-Resistant Finish Galvanized (electro or hot-dip) or stainless steel frames resist corrosion in wet trenches, coastal and outdoor storage conditions — long service life and reusable across many projects. Applications Application Detail Power Distribution LV/MV/HV cable laying in trenches and duct banks for DEWA (UAE), SEC (Saudi Arabia), KAHRAMAA (Qatar) and other GCC utility projects — straight rollers on runs, corner rollers at bends, manhole rollers at pit entries Infrastructure & Roads Underground cable installation for road crossings, street lighting, metro, airport and utility infrastructure across the GCC Oil & Gas & Industrial Power and control cable laying in process plants, substations and cable pits at oil & gas and industrial facilities Building & MEP Cable pulling through basement cable trenches, riser ducts and cable tray routes on commercial and industrial building projects Telecom & Fibre Fibre optic and communication cable installation in tight urban ducts and deeper manholes where bend protection is critical Substations & Cable Pits Manhole guide rollers at substation cable pit entries to feed cable smoothly from trench level down into vertical ducts Frequently Asked Questions What is a cable laying roller and how does it work? A cable laying roller supports the cable during installation and converts the sliding friction between the cable and ground into rolling friction — dramatically reducing the pulling force and protecting the cable sheath from abrasion. Straight rollers go every 2–3m on straight runs; corner rollers go at turning points to guide the cable around bends; and manhole guide rollers sit at a duct/manhole entry to feed cable down into a vertical duct. What is a triple corner cable roller used for? A triple corner cable roller (three-roller unit) guides cable safely around sharp corners at turning points, preventing abrasion and maintaining cable integrity. Multiple units link together with stake/link pins to form any turning angle. The manhole version uses two vertical waisted rollers and one horizontal roller to feed cable from ground level down into a vertical duct. Cable capacity is typically up to 155–200mm with load ratings up to 10 kN. What material and finish are the rollers? The frame is heavy-duty steel tubular construction with electro-galvanized or hot-dip galvanized finish (stainless steel versions available) for corrosion resistance. Rollers are available in aluminium alloy or nylon, both on sealed, water-proofed, maintenance-free ball bearings. The waisted (hourglass) profile centralises the cable and stops it slipping off. How many rollers do I need for a pull? On straight sections, place one straight roller roughly every 2–3 metres. At each corner, use a corner/triple corner roller — the number depends on side-wall pressure and the cable's minimum bend radius, so tighter bends need more units linked together. Use a manhole guide roller at every duct/manhole entry. Send us your cable size and route and we'll advise the roller types and quantities. How do I get a price for cable laying rollers?
