Sheet Metal Cable Trunking

Sheet metal cable trunking, also known as cable tray or electrical tray, is a carrying trunking formed by bending galvanized sheet steel that carries power and low-current cables under the ceiling or along a wall. It is used on main routes in factories, warehouses, parking garages and electrical rooms where many cables are carried together. In this category, UKS perforated normal-type and heavy-duty trunking in heights such as 40, 60 and 100 mm, widths such as 100, 300 and 600 mm, and sheet thicknesses such as 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm is sold by the meter; the 40x300x2.0 mm notation in the product name is the height, width and sheet thickness. Choose the width and side height according to the total cross-section and weight of the cables to be carried, the type and sheet thickness according to the support spacing and load, and the coating according to the environment. Pre-galvanized coating is preferred in dry indoor spaces, and hot-dip galvanizing outdoors and in damp, corrosive areas. Sheet metal cable trunking should not be confused with the sheet metal air duct of a ventilation system.
