Cable tray cover plate fastening techniques

Cable tray cover plates can be fastened using screws, clamps, buckles, press plates, or padlocks depending on the tray type and installation conditions.Common Fastening MethodsScrew Fastening The cover plate is punched and secured to the tray using screws or truss-head bolts with combination nuts. This method is suitable for both horizontal and vertical installations and provides strong mechanical stability .Cover Clamps Special clamps like PKP-SP1, PKP-SP2, and PKP-SPM1 can be used for additional mechanical fastening. PKP-SP1 and PKP-SPM1 are screwed in place for perforated and mesh trays, while PKP-SP2 can be installed without tools for perforated trays .Pressing Plate Fixing A pressure plate is placed over the cover plate and fixed with screws through pre-punched holes. This method works for horizontal or vertical installations and ensures the cover is tightly secured .Buckle Fixing The cover plate is held by bending folds at both ends of a buckle. This method is generally suitable for horizontal installations, but vertical installations may risk the cover slipping .Padlock or Seven-Shaped Buckle Fixing For high-security or specialized applications, padlocks or uniquely shaped buckles can be used to prevent unauthorized removal or accidental dislodging of the cover .Installation TipsAlways pass screws through the inner side of the tray to avoid damaging cables and secure them with combination nuts on the outer side .For mesh or perforated trays, ensure clamps or screws are compatible with the tray type.When cutting trays, re-drill connector perforations if necessary to maintain proper fastening points .Use edge protection strips at cut edges to prevent cable damage if joint plates or end plates are not installed .Follow manufacturer-specific instructions for pre-mounted turn buckles on bends, tees, or crossovers to ensure proper alignment and load support . By selecting the appropriate fastening method and following these installation practices, cable tray cover plates can be securely and safely fastened for both horizontal and vertical applications.
