Add-on
Pulling cable or conduit? Add a reel trailer
The Stellar RR-185 self-loading reel trailer holds the reel for the pull and loads it hydraulically, so one person can change reels between pulls. Ask us to put it on the same quote as the drill.
Reel trailer rental rates: $75/day, $350/week, $800/month.
