Measure smarter, safer, faster – with KISTERS Cable Fox.

Your time in the field is precious. Why risk staff and lose hours with outdated methods, when you can use a proven system built in Europe by a company that designs both sensors and software?

Hydrometry teams still spend too much time on-site, exposed to unsafe bridges or improvised setups. Measurements become inconsistent, staff are at risk, and data quality suffers.

That’s why KISTERS developed Cable Fox (CFX) — the safer, smarter way to measure flow.

• Trusted & proven. Designed and built in Europe by KISTERS, known worldwide for sensors and software.
• Safe & simple. Remote control keeps operators out of danger; deployment takes just minutes.
• Reliable results. Automated traverse and distance encoder ensure consistent transects every time.
• Compatible. Works with existing cableways, ADCPs, and radar sensors — no need to rebuild infrastructure.
• Operator-friendly. Lightweight, portable, quick to set up – spend less time in risky conditions and more time making decisions.

Use Cases – Where Cable Fox makes the difference

• Discharge & velocity measurements with ADCPs → Tow ADCPs smoothly across rivers or channels for precise, repeatable transects.
• Surface velocity radar deployment → Quickly position sensors without scaffolding or bridge risks.
• Emergency high-flow campaigns → Collect critical data safely during floods or debris events.

Technical Highlights

• Traversing speed up to 0.6 m/s
• Remote control range ≈ 400 m
• Integrated hoist (50 kg capacity)
• Fits cable diameters 12–32 mm
• CE-compliant, low power consumption

From mountain rivers to flood-prone cities, Cable Fox helps professionals work safely, efficiently, and with confidence.
