Add time: 2025-03-25
A cable tray is the backbone of modern industrial wiring systems—a rigid, open-structured pathway that safely organizes and supports electrical cables in factories, power plants, and commercial buildings. Unlike traditional conduits, cable trays allow easy access for maintenance and future upgrades. At DAPU Machinery, we design cutting-edge cable tray production lines that empower manufacturers to create high-performance trays tailored to global standards.
Key Features of Cable Trays
Material Options:
Galvanized steel (anti-corrosion)
Aluminum (lightweight)
Fiberglass (non-conductive)
Types:
Ladder Trays: Ideal for heavy cables (HVAC, power grids)
Wire Mesh Trays: Perfect for data centers & telecom
Solid-Bottom Trays: Protects sensitive cables from dust
Why Industries Choose Them:
40% faster installation vs. conduit systems
15-30% cost savings on long-term maintenance
Compliance with IEC 61537 & NEC safety standards
