Richard Casey, Managing Director at Horizon, said of the partnership:
“Horizon Utility Supplies are excited to announce our partnership with Thorne & Derrick, for promoting the Vicera APU2.0 Cable Jointer Stand into the major utilities in the Electricity Supply Industry. This collaboration allows us to use the strengths of both companies to deliver workplace solutions to our customers and reflects our shared dedication to meet the evolving needs of our industry.”
“The Vicera range of products offers a great opportunity to kick-start our partnership, fitting perfectly into our portfolio of products for the supply of equipment for the care and maintenance of the utility network within UK DNOs. We are very much looking forward to working with our partners at Thorne & Derrick.”
The Vicera range of cable stands are for both field or training centre use and provide safe and stable support of low, medium & high voltage cables. The cable stands are suitable for cable diameters 18-90mm with adjustable height.
The cable joint stands feature stepless lateral and tilt adjustment and high strength clamps to prevent cable slippage or movement while jointing – secure and balanced cables when Jointers are undertaking highly skill-sensitive cable preparation prevents inadvertent damage to cables and future potential O&M reliability.
The cable support stands are rugged and durable for outdoor use in joint bays and trenches in all ground terrain conditions – this includes the support of 11kV/33kV/66kV cables to enable precise cable preparation by the Jointer prior to installation of joints, terminations or connectors on medium/high voltage power cables.
The jointing stands are used in the field to enable the completion of pole-top style outdoor terminations and also indoor substation jointing & termination installations.
