Most cable tray systems are fabricated from a corrosion-resistant metal (low-carbon steel, stainless steel or an aluminium alloy) or from a metal with a corrosion-resistant finish (zinc or epoxy). The material for a given application is chosen based on where it will be used. Galvanized tray may be made of pre-galvanized steel sheet fabricated into tray, or may be hot-dip. Each cable tray type performs a different function and comes in various materials such as aluminum, galvanized steel, and FRP. What is Cable Tray? A cable tray is a unit, or set of units, with their fittings forming a rigid structure to support cables and assist in channeling them.
