Abstract
An inspection sled for remotely inspecting cables includes a chassis. The left end and right end of the chassis each includes a collar and a swing arm. Swing arms can be opened to admit a cable within the confines of the collars. The swing arms can be closed such that the cable is journaled within the collars, thus allowing the inspection sled to travel along the length of the tensioned cable to perform inspections of the tensioned cable.
