I can remember making those as an apprentice

Was talking about when I worked doing large commercial jobs for a firm. I am now self employed and mainly do domestic and small commercial so don't really have need for one. When I do, I have one of these unwieldy buggers.....

When we used to do large SWA pulls we invariably used cable jacks with a scaffold pole axle. Until we had a rather large drum that bent the axle, so we had to invest in a 3 inch diameter solid steel pole.

We borrow a pipe off the plumbers on site

Doubling them up works nice.

Usually the biggest cable we deal with is 6mm singles or 10mm in domestic.

So 35mm 4c was a nice change

I used me hilmor, 20m conduit fastened to vice, go a few drums on away.

Have used a bit of plastic conduit across the bracers of the steps for one or two rolls of cable and bringing the ends up between the top and the last step, not recommended for anything above 2x 2.5 but usable for most jobs.
