Standard galvanized cable trays are available in various types, sizes, and finishes, typically conforming to BS EN 61537 standards for cable management systems.

Types of Galvanized Cable Trays

Galvanized cable trays are generally manufactured in the following types:

• Ladder Tray: Features side rails with rungs for supporting heavy cable loads, ideal for industrial and high-density installations .
• Solid Bottom Tray: Provides full support for cables, suitable for sensitive or low-voltage cabling .
• Perforated Tray: Has holes along the base for ventilation and drainage, commonly used in medium-duty applications .
• Wire Mesh Tray: Lightweight and flexible, suitable for office or commercial environments with frequent layout changes .

Standard Dimensions

• Width: Typically ranges from 50 mm to 900 mm .
• Depth: Common depths include 12 mm, 18 mm, 25 mm, and 50 mm .
• Length: Standard lengths are 3 meters, with optional 6-meter lengths for larger installations .

Material and Finish

• Pre-galvanized Mild Steel: Standard finish for indoor use .
• Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel: Provides enhanced corrosion resistance, suitable for outdoor or harsh environments .
• Stainless Steel (Grade 316L): Available for highly corrosive environments, made to order .

Accessories and Features

• Bends, Tees, and Connectors: Integral connectors are included for easy assembly .
• Cable-Friendly Return Flanges: Slotted for all widths in medium and heavy-duty systems .
• Interlocking Splicing Options: Ensures structural integrity and high load capacity .

Standards and Compliance
