Abstract:
An apparatus for lifting and applying a rolled, tubular aerial cable marker to a cable, including a support, a top holding bar carried by the support for receiving and retaining a top end of a cable marker roll in an at least partially unrolled, tensioned condition, and for positioning and releasing the top end of the cable marker onto the cable. A bottom holding bar is carried by the support and retains a bottom end of the rolled cable marker, and releases the bottom end of the cable marker onto the cable, thereby allowing the cable marker to return to its initial, rolled tubular shape in position around the cable. A related method is also disclosed.
