The most widely used cable tray type in buildings and industrial installations. Perforations in the base and side flanges allow heat to dissipate from loaded power cables while reducing tray weight. The standard choice for power, lighting, and control cable routes in factories, commercial buildings, and substations.
Galvanized ladder cable tray - two side rails connected by transverse rungs, provides maximum open area and makes laying large diameter power cables easy. The cable schedule determines how wide the tray needs to be, and the rung spacing (typically 300 mm) determines how much cable support each metre of tray provides.
A closed base design that provides mechanical protection and EMI/RFI shielding for instrumentation, signal, and data cables. Used in control rooms, data centres, and instrument cable routes where shielding matters and cable protection is a priority.
Flexible wire mesh cable tray in GI finish, the most adaptable option for tight bends, frequent direction changes, and structured cabling applications. Widely used in office buildings, data centres, and IT environments where cable routes change frequently.

This is the most common specification question we get. Pre galvanized trays are made from zinc coated coil steel, the zinc coating is 120, 275 g/m² and covers the flat sheet before fabrication. Cut edges and weld points are not coated. Hot dip galvanized trays are fabricated first and then dipped in molten zinc at 450°C, producing a 600 g/m² coating on every surface including weld points, internal corners, and cut edges. For outdoor, coastal, or moderately corrosive indoor environments, hot dip galvanizing is always the better choice. For dry indoor applications, pre galvanized is cost effective and adequate.
Hot dip galvanizing provides 25, 30 year coating life in moderate outdoor environments, the most cost effective industrial corrosion protection available.
Steel cable trays handle physical impact and abuse on busy construction sites and in industrial environments where lightweight alternatives may be damaged.
Metal tray construction enables continuous earthing bond throughout the cable run, simplifying electrical safety design.
Steel ladder trays span up to 3000 mm between supports with appropriate loading, reducing the number of support structures required.
