Abstract
A vehicle-mounted reel utility with a cable dispenser. The cable dispenser has a swivel-aiming feature for'ing the cable. The cable dispenser is mounted to a swivel mount located at a free end of a positioning arm. The cable dispenser rotates about a pivot end of the positioning arm from a position parallel to a lifting arm to a position perpendicular to the lifting arm, and vice versa. The cable dispenser is also pivotally mounted to the swivel mount, allowing the user to swivel the cable dispenser about a horizontal arc while maintaining the cable dispenser in a central lateral position relative to a reel or a vehicle during the swivel movement. A hydraulic circuit controls the cable dispenser and an actuator that controls movement of a brake wheel from a contact to non-contact position, to coordinate the stopping of the reel and cable dispensing by the cable dispenser.
