J3 Aerial Cable Lasher
DESCRIPTION
The GMP J3 Aerial Cable Lasher is designed for telecom, fiber optic, broadband, and cable TV contractors who need a durable, field proven solution for securing aerial cable to support strand using stainless steel lashing wire.
Built for both new construction and overlashing applications, the J3 eliminates the need for separate lashing tools while handling single or multiple aerial cable bundles up to 3 inches in diameter. Its extra wide mouth design, integrated strand lock, and hardened steel skid plate make it ideal for demanding field environments and large bundle installations. Designed for demanding aerial construction environments, the J3 helps crews complete fiber and telecom lashing projects more efficiently while reducing downtime caused by wear, maintenance, or equipment limitations.
The J3 is engineered for long term durability with a positive internal gear driven system that eliminates chains and belts that can stretch, slip, or fail in the field. Compatible with many J2 lasher parts, the J3 also simplifies maintenance and replacement for crews already using GMP equipment.

BUILT FOR DURABILITY IN THE FIELD
The GMP J3 is constructed using heat treated plated steel, stainless steel, brass, and aluminum components for long lasting performance in harsh aerial construction environments. Sealed and oilless bearings help reduce maintenance while improving reliability during daily field use.
The heat treated front skid plate helps protect the lasher during side pulling applications, reducing wear and extending the working life of the machine.
EASY OVERLASHING CAPABILITY
The J3 makes overlashing simple for fiber and telecom crews. By rotating the strand roller knob, contractors can quickly lash additional cable onto previously lashed strand without requiring multiple lashers or complicated setup changes.
