The original cable was smaller. We measured the pulleys, and they were about an inch wide, so we figured it would work. However it did not. I think part of the problem was the Belden cable was not twisted inside. I think this helps the cable roll over the pulleys better and distributes the tension throughout the wires in the cable. I have some of the cable from the original manufacturer on the truck, and it is working. The cable is much smaller then the width of the pulley. It measures about.600. I think this may also help with not having the cable ride up over the edge of the pulley. I do have about 65 feet of the Belden cable. If anyone wants it, I will sell it cheap.

The OEM cable is called something like Rockbestos Perfect-A-Flex.

The Beldin cable's Overall Nominal Diameter is.862 in. ,which I posted in the specs. Did you measure the O.D. of the original cable?

If anyone else is reading this, I am sorry to report the Belden cable did not work. It is not twisted inside, is a larger diameter, and runs off the sheave every time we lift. I would need to find bigger sheaves to make the Belden cable work. We did find a source for the cable. It is a electrical supply house called Kirby Risk. The parts dept called the manufacturer which steered us to Kirby Risk. The old cable was painted from one end to the other. After I got the old cable off, I was able to scrape off paint and read the brand name.

Your welcome,Liftdoctor. Glad I could help.

Thank you very much. The cable is on order and much less expensive than what Hyster wants for it.
