Cable Trays, Cable Ladders & Cable Trunking

Complete cable routing systems from CASK STEEL: perforated cable trays, ladder trays and solid-bottom trunking, with every fitting, cover and support needed on site. Manufactured at our factory in Dilovası, Kocaeli, in accordance with IEC 61537.

Three types of cable containment

Each system comes with a full range of fittings and accessories, so a complete cable route can be ordered from one manufacturer.

Perforated galvanized steel cable tray

Perforated cable tray

Made from a single sheet of perforated metal. Suited to cables that need protection from external damage together with some ventilation.

Galvanized steel cable ladder with welded rungs

Cable ladder

Two side rails joined by rungs, welded or bolted. Gives maximum ventilation to heat-producing cables such as power cables.

Solid-bottom steel cable trunking

Cable trunking

Solid-bottom sections from a single metal sheet, giving excellent protection. Used mainly for instrumentation, control and communication cables.

Standard dimensions

Other sizes and designs are manufactured to meet special project requirements.

Fittings, covers and accessories

Fittings change the direction, level or width of a cable run and are made in the same sizes as the straight sections:

  • Horizontal and vertical elbows: 90°, with 30°, 45° and 60° also available
  • Horizontal and vertical tees, horizontal crosses
  • Straight, left-hand and right-hand reducers
  • Inside and outside vertical risers

Covers, solid or louvered, shelter cables from sunlight, dirt and accidental contact.

Installation accessories: slotted and solid channels, L and Z type separators, side rail clamps, joining (splice) plates, brackets, end caps, hanger posts, head plates, threaded rods, nuts and bolts.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a cable tray and a cable ladder?

A perforated cable tray has a continuous perforated base that protects cables while allowing some ventilation. A cable ladder has open rungs between two side rails, giving maximum ventilation and strength for heavy power cables over longer spans.

Which finish should I choose for outdoor or corrosive sites?

Hot-dip galvanized steel is the usual choice outdoors and in industrial plants. Stainless steel or aluminium alloy are used where corrosion is severe, for example offshore, marine and chemical sites. Pre-galvanized and powder-coated trays suit indoor installations.

Can you manufacture non-standard sizes?

Yes. Designs other than the standard range are manufactured on request for project requirements. Send us your drawings or cable schedule with your enquiry.

Which standard do your cable trays follow?

CASK STEEL cable trays are manufactured in accordance with IEC 61537, the international standard for cable tray and cable ladder systems, including loading capability and support span.
