Case Study: OK Champion Cable Scrapper

Stop Leaving Money Underground

Turning Abandoned Cable into Immediate Revenue with the OK Champion Cable Scrapper

Overview

The OK Champion Cable Scrapper from Timberland Equipment Limited efficiently removes communication and power cables from underground ducts or conduits—while simultaneously cutting them into manageable scrap lengths and loading them directly into a trailer or dump truck. It transforms cable removal from a cost center into a revenue-generating operation.

The Challenge

Across utility and infrastructure projects, aging underground cable networks continue to occupy valuable duct space while delivering no operational value. Removing these cables is often slow, labour-intensive, and costly—requiring multiple crews, excessive handling, and extended timelines. As a result, projects face delays, increased risk in confined spaces, and missed opportunities to recover high-value materials such as copper.

Abandoned underground cable becomes a forgotten asset—left in place due to the difficulty, cost, and effort required to remove it.
