Extension Cable Guides
Cable Guides must be used to achieve proper
placement of the first roller guide.
Cable Guides maintain the position of the cable,
ensuring a controlled path to the boom head.
The distance between the first Cable Guide and the
Center Point of the Extension Reel must be a
minimum of 4 feet.
The inside edge of the first Cable Guide
must always align with the outside edge of
the Extension Reel.
Passage of the cable from the Extension Reel
through the Cable Guides to the Tie-Off Post on the
boom head may form a straight line parallel to the
boom, as shown, or may curve toward the boom
depending on the placement of the Cable Guides in
the latter segments of the crane.
First cable guide
must be at least
4 feet from
center point of
