LADDER TYPE CABLE TRAYS

Ladder Type Cable Trays are designed for robust support and organized management of heavy-duty electrical cables in industrial and commercial settings. These trays feature a ladder-like structure with two longitudinal side rails and spaced rungs, making them ideal for carrying large volumes of power cables and allowing efficient heat dissipation. SR Switchgear's ladder-type cable trays are engineered to provide strong, reliable cable support while offering flexibility and ease of installation.

Key Features and Benefits:

1. Material Options:

   • Mild Steel (MS)
   • Stainless Steel (SS)
   • Galvanized Iron (GI)
   • Aluminum
   • Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG)

   These materials are selected based on the installation environment, ensuring long-lasting performance in both indoor and outdoor conditions. Special finishes like powder coating or hot-dip galvanizing enhance durability, especially in corrosive or harsh environments.

2. Design and Construction:

   • Rugged Ladder Design: The ladder-type cable tray features a robust construction with side rails supporting cross rungs at regular intervals. This design provides strong structural integrity, allowing the trays to support heavy cables over long spans.
   • Ventilation: The open design allows for natural air circulation, promoting heat dissipation and reducing the risk of cable overheating, which is critical in power distribution applications.
   • Heavy Load Capacity: These trays are capable of supporting large bundles of power and control cables over long distances, minimizing the need for intermediate supports.

3. Size and Configuration:

   • Widths: Standard widths range from 150mm to 1200mm, customizable based on cable volume and application requirements.
   • Heights: Typically between 40mm to 150mm, allowing sufficient space for different types and sizes of cables.
   • Length: Standard lengths are 2500mm to 3000mm with customizable options to suit various installation needs.

4. Durability and Strength:

   • High-Load Capacity: These trays are specifically designed to carry heavier cables, making them ideal for power distribution, industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects where high loads need to be supported.
   • Corrosion Resistance: Depending on the chosen material and finish, ladder-type trays offer high resistance to moisture, chemicals, and environmental wear, ensuring long-term performance even in extreme conditions.

5. Ease of Installation:

   • Modular Design: The ladder-type trays come with pre-punched holes in the side rails for easy mounting on walls, ceilings, or under raised floors using standard brackets and support systems. They can also be fitted with accessories like bends, tees, and risers to adapt to different layout requirements.
   • Cable Maintenance: The open structure simplifies the addition or removal of cables, making maintenance and future expansion hassle-free.

6. Customization:

   • Bends, Risers, and Elbows: Available in a variety of configurations for vertical and horizontal transitions, providing flexibility in routing cables around obstacles.
   • Covers: Optional tray covers provide additional protection from dust, moisture, and debris, enhancing cable safety in outdoor or industrial environments.

Applications:

1. Heavy Industrial Settings:

   • Ladder-type trays are particularly suited for industries such as power plants, oil and gas refineries, steel mills, and manufacturing units, where large volumes of power cables need to be supported over long distances.

2. Infrastructure Projects:

   • Public infrastructure like airports, railway stations, and metro lines use these trays for routing power and communication cables in both above-ground and underground installations.

3. Data Centers and Telecommunication:

   • In environments with high power demand, such as data centers and telecommunication facilities, ladder-type trays provide strong support for both high-voltage and low-voltage cables while ensuring easy access for maintenance and upgrades.

4. Commercial Buildings:

   • High-rise buildings, shopping malls, and commercial complexes benefit from the organized cable routing that ladder-type trays offer, ensuring that power distribution is reliable and easy to manage.

Advantages:

• Heavy-Duty Performance: The rugged design makes ladder-type trays ideal for supporting large, heavy cables in demanding industrial environments.
• Efficient Heat Dissipation: The open construction allows free air flow, preventing heat buildup around cables and improving overall system efficiency.
• Cost-Effective: Reduced need for intermediate supports over long distances translates into savings in both material and labor costs.
• Adaptability: With a wide range of accessories and configurations available, these trays can be customized to fit any layout or installation challenge.
• Enhanced Safety: Proper cable organization helps prevent cable stress, damage, and reduces the risk of electrical accidents or system failures.
