Abstract: A method for dispensing cable, using a cable dispensing apparatus including a pair of spaced horizontal support members, wheels connected thereto, a pair of spaced, generally parallel vertical support members, each respective vertical support member connected to and extending upwardly from a respective horizontal support member to define a spool holding space, a slidable support member slidably connected each respective vertical support member, and a lifting actuator operationally connected to at least one horizontal support member and a slidable support member. An axel member is inserted through an axel core of a spool of cable and engaged to the slidable support members. The lifting actuator is energized to raise the axel member to move the spool into the spool holding space and the apparatus is moved to a desired work location where a desired length of cable is unspoiled.
