Hot Dipped Galvanized Steel Cable Tray Fixings

Cable tray fixings are the mechanical components used to secure cable trays to supports, structures, or building surfaces, ensuring stability, load safety, and long-term reliability.

Main Types of Cable Tray Fixings

1. Suspension Fixings (Overhead Support)
Used to hang trays from ceilings or roof structures.
Threaded Rod (All-Thread) & Strut Channels: The most common system.
Components: Threaded rod (M8, M10, M12 are common), nuts, washers, and beam clamps or channel nuts within a strut channel (Unistrut-type). Allows for easy height adjustment and is very versatile.
Cable Tie Hangers & Steel Strapping: Used for lighter trays or in telecom/data applications. Must be rated for the load and be non-corrosive.
Drop Rod Hooks: For hanging ladder tray directly from ceiling wires or steel purlins.

2. Wall Mount Fixings
Used to attach trays to vertical walls or structural columns.
Cantilever Arms (Wall Brackets): Brackets fixed to the wall with a horizontal arm supporting the tray. Can be single or double-sided.
Flange Brackets (End/Corner Brackets): Used to terminate a tray run at a wall or change direction from horizontal to vertical.
J-Bolts or Through-Bolts: For securing the tray side rail directly to a concrete or steel column.

3. Fixings to Structure
The method of attaching the support component (like a rod or bracket) to the building is critical.
Concrete:
Anchor Bolts: Chemical anchors (resin) or mechanical anchors (wedge, sleeve, drop-in) are the strongest and most common for heavy loads.
Concrete Screws: For lighter loads, faster installation.
Steelwork:
Beam Clamps: Wrap around the flange of an I-beam or H-beam. Choose a model that doesn't require drilling.
C-Clamps / Girder Clamps: Similar to beam clamps.
Drilled and Tapped: Drilling through the steel and using a bolt and nut. Provides the strongest connection but is invasive.
Masonry/Brick:
Heavy-Duty Wall Plugs & Bolts: Requires careful selection based on the brick type and potential for cracking.

Key Functions

• Secure cable trays to support systems

• Maintain correct tray alignment and spacing

• Transfer cable load safely to the structure

• Prevent vibration, movement, and deformation

Common Types of Cable Tray Fixings

• Bolts & Nuts – tray-to-support and tray-to-tray connection

• Spring Nuts / Channel Nuts – used with strut channels

• U-Bolts – fixing trays to round pipes or beams

• Beam Clamps – drilling-free fixing to steel structures

• Wall Plugs / Anchor Bolts – concrete wall or ceiling installation

• Tray Couplers / Splice Plates – join tray sections

• Hold-Down Clamps / Clips – prevent uplift or lateral movement

Materials & Surface Finish

• Materials: Carbon steel, stainless steel (SS304 / SS316)

• Surface treatment:

  • Electro-galvanized (indoor use)

  • Hot-dip galvanized (industrial / outdoor)

  • Stainless steel (high corrosion environments)
