Applications by industry

One cable tray range,
built for where it runs.

The right tray is not the same in a data hall and on an offshore platform. Below is how our perforated tray, cable ladder, wire mesh and trunking map to the industries that buy them, and which type and finish tend to fit each one. Every recommendation is a starting point, we confirm the section, load and finish for your run.

Data centres & IT

Dense, changing cabling that has to stay accessible and ventilated. Wire mesh basket tray is fast to install, easy to branch on site and keeps the cabling visible; perforated tray carries the power feeds. Pre-galvanized or powder-coated finishes suit the dry, controlled room.

Where it usually points

  • Wire mesh for data & patch cabling
  • Perforated for power feeds
  • Pre-galv / powder-coat finish

Oil, gas & petrochemical

Heavy power cables, long spans and a corrosive, often outdoor environment. Cable ladder carries the heavy feeders with airflow and long support spans; hot-dip galvanized or stainless finishes stand up to the atmosphere. This is a finish-and-load conversation we take per project.

Where it usually points

  • Cable ladder for heavy feeders
  • Hot-dip galvanized or stainless
  • Long-span, high-load runs

Tunnels & metro

Long linear runs, fire and smoke rules and limited access once installed. Perforated tray and ladder carry power and signalling along the bore; hot-dip galvanized is the usual finish for the damp environment. Tell us the standard your project works to and we confirm what applies.

Where it usually points

  • Perforated + ladder along the bore
  • Hot-dip galvanized
  • Standard confirmed per project

Solar & renewables

Long outdoor DC and AC runs across arrays and into inverters and substations. Perforated tray and ladder carry the strings and feeders; hot-dip galvanized handles the weather and UV. Widths and supports are set for the cable schedule of the site.

Where it usually points

  • Perforated & ladder for outdoor runs
  • Hot-dip galvanized for weather
  • Sized to the cable schedule

Power & utilities

Substations, power plants and distribution, where load and continuity matter most. Cable ladder spans between supports under heavy power cables; perforated tray handles control and auxiliary cabling. Finish follows the environment, indoor pre-galv to outdoor hot-dip.

Where it usually points

  • Cable ladder for heavy power
  • Perforated for control cabling
  • Finish to match the environment

Rail & infrastructure

Trackside and station cabling with strict standards and long, exposed runs. Perforated tray, ladder and trunking each have a place: open tray and ladder for the main runs, trunking where the cabling must be protected and tidy. Hot-dip galvanized suits the exposed trackside.

Where it usually points

  • Tray & ladder for main runs
  • Trunking where protection matters
  • Hot-dip galvanized outdoors
