What’s Cable Tray?

Cable Tray System is used to support insulated cables or wiring for power control, communication and distribution.

In the commercial and industrial construction, cable tray is widely used as an alternative to open wiring or cables conduit system. And they are very useful in situation where changes to a cable system are expected.  Because new cables can be installed by laying them in the tray, instead of pulling them through a pipe.

Types Of Cable Tray

• Solid bottom cable tray
• Ventilated cable tray
• Ladder Tray
• Cable tray cover
• Channel cable tray

Nowadays, A Cable Tray Roll Former can produce both solid and ventilated cable trays, and also the cable tray cover.

Cable Tray Material

• Galvanized Steel
• Stainless Steel
• Aluminum

Use what material is based on where it will be used, Galvanized tray may be made of pre-galvanized steel sheet fabricated into tray. Or may be hot-dip galvanized after fabrication. When galvanized tray is cut to length in the field. And usually the cut surface will be painted with a zinc-rich compound to protect the metal from corrosion.
