Plummettaz DF Series Hydraulic Cable Feeder
The Plumettaz DF Series are compact, hydraulically driven cable feeders built for pushing and laying cables in open trenches, ducts, and tunnels. Four models cover cable diameters from 8 to 160 mm with pushing forces of 2,000 or 6,000 N. Belt or chain drive protects the cable during installation. The DF 22 H bidirectional adds 2,000 N of pulling force for push-pull operation. All models powered by on-board petrol or diesel hydraulic power packs — no mains connection required. Compatible with Plumettaz winches for extended installation distances.
More Information
The Plumettaz DF Series hydraulic cable feeders push cables through trenches, ducts, and tunnels — reducing pulling stress, protecting cable integrity, and extending installation distances beyond what winching alone can achieve. Four models cover cables from 8 mm up to 160 mm.
Key Features
-
-
- 2,000 or 6,000 N pushing force — four models cover cable diameters from 8 to 160 mm across a wide range of infrastructure applications
- Belt or chain drive system — optimum pushing contact without damaging the cable jacket
- Self-contained hydraulic power — Honda GX270 petrol (DF 6 H / DF 6 H XL) or Hatz Diesel 1B30 (DF 22 H series); no mains power required on site
- Push-Pull compatible — combine with a Plumettaz winch to share load, reduce cable stress, and achieve longer installation runs
- Bidirectional operation available — DF 22 H bidirectional delivers 2,000 N pushing and 2,000 N pulling in a single unit
- Fast and compact — DF 22 H series reaches 72 m/min; minimal site preparation required across all models
