Common cable trays are made of galvanized,, aluminum, or glass-fiber reinforced plastic. The material for a given application is chosen 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, usually the cut surface will be painted with a zinc-rich compound to protect the metal from corrosion.
Our engineer's guide helps you choose the right outdoor cable tray based on environment, load, and corrosion resistance. Select HDG, Aluminum, or FRP with confidence. An outdoor cable tray represents a sophisticated infrastructure solution designed to organize, protect, and route electrical cables in external environments. This robust support system serves as the backbone for power distribution networks, telecommunications infrastructure, and data transmission. Outdoor cable trays, as the name suggests, are installed for outdoor use and should consider rain, wind, and corrosion protection The rainproof bridge includes four rainproof measures: (1) Cover plate ridge: effectively avoiding the accumulation of rainwater.
