Wow! 500 feet? You could have just rented a ditch wich for a little
job like that. They built 'thousands' of miles with their method. That
fiber backbone covers most of the US for all the cable TV companies that
offer broadband.


What good is a forklift in an open ditch along a busy highway? The
dirt was already soft, and there wasn't much room in the right of way.
they trenched the area they were working, then backed the trailers off
the road just ahead of where they were working and pulled it back to the
previoous vault location including under driveways and side roads. The
crew I talked to said it was down six feet or more, and that the bottom
of the equipment vaults was a little over 12 feet below ground.



This is literally "over the field and through the woods..."

The Prong looks interesting except the load will be WAY out there.
I worry about CG.

I don't see I'll need to straddle the ditch as much as run parallel to it.
