Description
Robust & Versatile Ladder Type Cable Tray System
Product Overview
The Ladder Type Cable Tray is an essential and highly effective cable management solution, designed to support and protect power and data cables across a wide range of industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications. Characterized by its unique open-rung design, it resembles a ladder, offering unparalleled ventilation, accessibility, and strength. This system is ideal for installations requiring frequent cable additions, modifications, or inspections, and where heat dissipation is critical for cable longevity.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Maximized Airflow & Ventilation
- Open Rung Design: Prevents heat build-up around cables, reducing the risk of overheating and extending cable insulation life. This is crucial for high-current power cables and sensitive data lines.
- Reduced Dust Accumulation: The open structure minimizes the collection of dust and debris, contributing to a cleaner and safer environment.
2. Effortless Cable Management
- Easy Cable Laying: Cables can be quickly laid, dropped out, or removed at any point along the tray's length, eliminating the need for complex pull-through methods.
- Simplified Inspection & Maintenance: The open design allows for quick visual inspection and easy access for maintenance or troubleshooting, minimizing downtime.
- Adaptable & Expandable: A wide range of accessories (bends, risers, tees, reducers) allows for flexible routing and future expansion without significant reinstallation.
3. Superior Strength & Load Bearing Capacity
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-quality steel or aluminum, ensuring exceptional structural integrity and the ability to support heavy cable loads over long spans.
- Optimized Design: The ladder configuration provides inherent strength and rigidity, making it suitable for demanding environments.
4. Enhanced Safety & Compliance
- Fire Safety: Less material means fewer combustible surfaces and improved performance in fire suppression systems compared to enclosed trays.
- No Water/Liquid Pooling: The open design prevents the accumulation of water, chemicals, or other liquids, which can corrode cables or pose safety hazards.
- Grounding: Easy and effective grounding capabilities for enhanced electrical safety.
5. Cost-Effective & Efficient
- Reduced Material Usage: The open design often requires less raw material than solid-bottom trays, potentially reducing initial costs.
- Faster Installation: Pre-fabricated sections and modular components significantly speed up installation time, leading to lower labor costs.
- Longer Cable Lifespan: Improved ventilation directly contributes to extending the operational life of cables, reducing replacement costs.
Materials & Finishes
Our Ladder Type Cable Trays are available in various materials and finishes, tailored to meet specific environmental and application requirements:
- Pre-Galvanized (PG) / Mill Galvanized: Suitable for indoor, dry applications where moderate corrosion resistance is required.
- Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) after Fabrication: Offers superior corrosion resistance, ideal for outdoor, industrial, or moderately corrosive environments.
- Stainless Steel (SS304, SS316): Provides excellent resistance to extreme corrosion, chemicals, and high temperatures, perfect for marine, food processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical plants.
- Aluminum: Lightweight, non-magnetic, and offers good corrosion resistance. Ideal for weight-sensitive installations or areas requiring non-ferrous materials.
- Powder Coated: Available in various RAL colors for aesthetic purposes, offering additional protection and customization for visible installations.
