Cable Placer And Specialty Lifting Equipment Manufacturers
Telecom, broadband, and fiber crews need cable placers with higher side pull capacity and purpose built cable guides. Monster Equipment has been sourcing and refurbishing cable placers and specialty lifting equipment since 2010, and our team brings over twenty years of combined industry experience to helping crews find the right unit.

Manitex
Manitex builds boom trucks and truck mounted cranes that combine strong lifting capacity with fast setup and easy transport between job sites. Their equipment is a common choice for crews who need heavier lifting than a standard bucket truck provides, without the logistics of a full crane rig.
Manitex also offers aerial platforms and specialty lifting solutions, along with attachments such as jibs, winches, and personnel baskets that let crews configure equipment for specific jobs, including sign installation and utility work.
- ✓Strong lifting capacity. Built for heavier material handling than a standard aerial device.
- ✓Quick setup and mobility. Fast to deploy and move between job sites.
- ✓Configurable attachments. Jibs, winches, and personnel baskets available.
Chassis And Configuration Options
Cable placer and crane truck bodies are built on a range of medium and heavy duty chassis, including Ford, Freightliner, International, and Kenworth. The right chassis depends on your side pull requirements, payload for reel storage, and whether your drivers hold a CDL.
Pro Tip
Side pull capacity and reel capacity matter as much as boom reach for cable placement work. Ask our team about the specific reel and puller configuration on any unit before comparing it to others.
Choosing The Right Cable Placer For Your Crew
If your work is mostly aerial cable placement and splicing, a dedicated Posi Plus cable placer with strong side pull capacity is usually the better fit. If your crew regularly needs to lift heavier materials in addition to cable work, a Manitex boom truck or crane may offer more flexibility.
Either way, confirm the insulation rating, reel capacity, and chassis GVWR match your specific jobs before buying, since these specs vary more between individual units than between brands.
Questions About Cable Placer Brands
A cable placer is purpose built with higher side pull capacity and cable guides for aerial strand and cable work, while a standard bucket truck is built primarily for worker access at height.
