MARS^® Advanced Lightweight Reel Stand

Installation zone RECOMMENDATION

OCC’s new ALRS series of Lightweight Reel Stands represent a significant advancement in cable deployment and retrieval technology. The ALRS is a highly portable, folding A-frame stand used for paying out and retrieving cable (both copper and fiber optic) in a harsh environment. Designed for quick and easy deployment and operation, the ALRS requires no tools for set up. Additionally, when configured for transport, all pieces are maintained within the unit.

Features

Engineered for the military, ready for you. The OCC ALRS reel stand came from a direct collaboration with the U.S. Military. Their input helped us develop a highly portable folding A-frame stand that is designed for quick and easy deployment and operation – built to withstand the rigors of daily use. U.S. Army nomenclature is RL-309/U.
More functionality, less weight. OCC’s ALRS with its lightweight aluminum construction weighs a third of RL-31 stands (a common military stand) but offers more functionality. This simple to operate stand requires no tools for assembly, can operate from either direction without tipping, and is available with solid or split axles for independent rotation.
Smart, rugged construction. All the pieces of the ALRS attach to the unit, making assembly a snap. Designed for rugged environments in all temperature ranges, the ALRS is ozone, fungus, and corrosion resistant.
