Abstract:
1. A system that facilitates elevation of a cable, comprising: a housing having a first cavity that houses a plurality of pulleys configured to receive a pulling device and a second cavity that retains an obstruction treatment on a first end of the pulling device, wherein the first cavity permits ground level removal of the pulling device; and a locking mechanism disposed within the second cavity that engages a dead-end device attached to a second end of the pulling device thereby facilitating termination of the dead-end device at an elevated level, the dead-end device being attached to the cable; and a removable obstruction clamp that attaches to a top of the dead-end device, the obstruction clamp having a pair of legs that prohibits the dead-end device from accessing the first cavity, wherein an exit angle of the pulling device in relation to the obstruction treatment facilitates release of the obstruction treatment from the second cavity and removal of the pulling device.
