Vermeer CL80 attachment

The addition of the new Vermeer CL80 attachment can turn one of the company's Commander track tractors into a cable layer specifically meeting the challenges of installing wind-energy transmission lines. The cable layer attachment can singularly sort, configure and feed three cables – one ground wire, one conduit with fiber-optic cable and one tracer tape – placing and securing the cables all in one pass. This eliminates the need for one machine to dig a trench and then another to lay and secure the cable.
