Cable carrying aid Bachmann 394.179 — transport handle for cables and hoses

Bachmann 394.179 cable carrying aid is a compact transport handle designed to simplify the movement of cables and hoses. The tool provides a secure grip for bundling and carrying coiled cable lengths, reducing manual strain and making handling faster and more controlled during installation, maintenance or storage. Manufactured by Bachmann, the carrying aid is intended for repeated on-site use by tradespeople and technicians who regularly move cable coils.

Advantages

The transport handle offers a stable, ergonomic hold that distributes weight and reduces pressure on the fingers and wrist while carrying cables and hoses. Its construction supports quick attachment to coiled cable bundles and helps keep the coil compact during transit. The design prioritizes utility and durability to withstand repeated use in workshop and construction environments.

Suitable for

• Moving coiled electrical cables and extension leads
• Transporting hoses for pneumatic or hydraulic tools
• Carrying cable reels during installation and maintenance
• Temporary storage and organization of cable bundles on site

Key specifications

• Form factor: handheld transport handle designed for manual carrying of coiled lines
• Material: durable polymer or composite material designed for mechanical stress
• Grip: ergonomic shape for comfortable handling and reduced slippage
• Compatibility: suitable for a wide range of cable and hose diameters when coiled
• Portability: lightweight construction for ease of use during repeated transfers

How to use

Loop the cable or hose into a compact coil, then position the Bachmann transport handle so that it captures the coil and provides a secure central grip. Use one or two handles as required to balance heavier or larger coils. Hold the ergonomic grip and lift with controlled motion, keeping the load close to the body to reduce strain. After transport, uncoil or hang the cable as needed for installation or storage.

Recommendations

Use the handle only with coiled cables and hoses that are within a comfortable weight for manual lifting. Inspect the carrying aid before use for signs of wear or damage. For heavier reels, use additional handling equipment or two-person lifting to comply with safe manual handling practices.
