Cable Spiking Tools - Hydraulic & Cartridge Type

A high quality, durable cable spiker for use on electrical power cables - the standard cable spiker (up to 275kV) and heavy duty cable spiker (up to 400kV) can accomodate cables up to 150mm.

The Accles Shelvoke Acvoke range of cable spikers are the safest tools for assured cable de-energisation - typical applications include spiking low voltage and high voltage (11kV-33kV) power cables prior to jointing, terminating or repair.

The Acvoke Cartridge Cable Spiker is a cartridge powered tool which when fired drives a steel spike through high voltage electricity cables short circuiting the power and making the cable dead and therefore safe to work on.

Accles Shelvoke Cartridge Cable Spiking Tool - Features : 

• Easy to assemble and simple to operate
• Safest cable spiking tool available for assured cable de-energization
• Employee safety achieved through positive remote operation
• Portability - spiker needs no external power source

Remove Firing - the tool uses a seven metre long lanyard and release pin which when operated completely separates from the spiking tool at the moment of firing.

This ensures total operator safety in the event of a ‘live’ cable being spiked. The use of a blank cartridge as the source of energy means the tool can be used anywhere.

Cable Spiking 11kV Polymeric Cables

Conventional cable spiker guns will spike 3 core polymeric cables, although a jacking attachment is required to facilitate the removal of the spike from the high voltage (HV) cable.

Spiking guns will not satisfactorily spike three single core cables simultaneously. A special insert is required for spiking guns to accommodate three single cores plus a packer. High voltage single core power cables should be spiked individually.

Acvoke cable spiker is a high quality durable electrical safety tool used worldwide - the Acvoke cable spiker was developed in 1952 in cooperation with the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB).

The Acvoke cable spiker is a cartridge powered tool which when fired drives a steel spike through LV-HV electricity cables thus short circuiting the power and making the cable dead.
