The Cable Fox Model (CFX) is HyQuest Solutions latest towing system for deployment of an ADCP or radar device for manual discharge measurement on a cableway. The electric motorized vehicle can be easily installed on existing cable cranes by using their cables. Via a radio remote control, the user controls the vehicle forward and backward across the cable transversely to the flow axis.
- CFX/1014: for cables with diameter 10-14 mm
- CFX/1014-H-EU: for cable with diameter 10-14 mm, CE compliant
- CFX/1632: for cables with diameter 16-32 mm
- CFX/1632-H-EU: for cable with diameter 16-32 mm, CE compliant
Thanks to the powerful motorization and the optional cable winch, the Cable Fox can also pull large or heavy measuring boats or equipment through the water and position it at the measuring points. Another benefit of the Cable Fox is its ability to adapt to different cable sizes.
The mobile Cable Fox is mainly used temporarily at several measuring points for manual measurements. Above that it can be used for fixed installation. Cable cranes equipped with the Cable Fox as a carriage do not need a permanently installed motor, because the Cable Fox brings its own motor. The large range of the remote control (up to 400 m) allows operation even at very wide valleys and riverbeds.
