Factory Cable Tray Models

Factory cable tray series models include ladder, ventilated, solid, and wire mesh trays made from steel, aluminum, or stainless steel, with various finishes and accessories for industrial and commercial applications.

Types of Cable Tray Series

1. Ladder Cable Trays

• Designed for heavy-duty applications and long cable runs.
• Provide superior strength-to-weight ratio and allow easy cable installation and ventilation.
• Available in metallic options such as steel, aluminum, and stainless steel with finishes like hot-dip galvanized, pre-galvanized, or powder-coated (Eaton B-Line series) . 2. Ventilated Cable Trays
• Feature perforated bottoms to allow airflow and reduce heat buildup.
• Suitable for medium-duty applications and sensitive instrumentation cables . 3. Solid Bottom Cable Trays
• Provide maximum protection against dust, debris, and electromagnetic interference.
• Ideal for environments where cables need full coverage . 4. Wire Mesh or Basket Trays
• Lightweight, flexible, and easy to install.
• Used for light-duty applications and areas requiring frequent cable changes .

Materials and Finishes

• Steel: Strong and durable; can be pre-galvanized or hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance.
• Aluminum: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments.
• Stainless Steel (AISI 316L): High corrosion resistance, ideal for chemical or marine environments .

Accessories and Fittings

• Straight sections, elbows, tees, reducers, covers, and mounting hardware.
• Accessories ensure proper cable support, routing, and compliance with standards like ANSI/NFPA 70, NEMA VE 1-2017, and UL certifications .

Design and CAD/BIM Resources

• Manufacturers provide CAD, BIM, and PDMS files for design integration.
• Eaton B-Line series offers a submittal builder tool to filter and download straight sections, fittings, and accessories in 2D/3D formats .
• ABB and Legrand provide technical guides and CAD libraries for quick selection and project integration .

Summary

Factory cable tray series models are versatile systems designed to meet diverse industrial and commercial needs. Selection depends on load requirements, environmental conditions, cable type, and installation preferences. Using manufacturer catalogs and CAD/BIM resources ensures accurate design, compliance, and efficient installation.
