Debuting its latest developments in next generation cable gripper and retrieval tools and electrically operated subsea cutters at Subsea Expo 2017, Allspeeds showcased its all new hydraulically operated Webtool cable gripper.
The new cable lifting tool is designed for cable retrieval and decommissioning projects, allowing the safe and controlled recovery of damaged power and telecoms cable up to 8” diameter. Fabricated from corrosion resistant steel and stainless steel, the mechanically locked gripping action ensures the cable cannot escape during retrieval.
“With the growth in offshore wind further offshore, recovering damaged power cable can be time consuming and expensive,” explained Keith Elliot, engineering director, Allspeeds Ltd. “The cable gripper offers offshore wind operators a quicker and more cost-effective means of lifting and lowering previously damaged cables.”
The Webtool range is designed and manufactured exclusively by Allspeeds Ltd.
