Aluminum Alloy Trapezoidal Cable Tray Models

Aluminum alloy trapezoidal cable trays are lightweight, corrosion-resistant systems designed for industrial and commercial cable management, available in multiple series, widths, rung spacings, and load capacities.Material and ConstructionAluminum cable trays are typically made from 6063-T6 aluminum alloy for side rails and rungs, with 5052 aluminum alloy used for fabricated parts, providing high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and durability in harsh environments . The trays feature I-beam or H-beam side rails and welded transverse rungs, ensuring structural integrity and the ability to support concentrated loads of up to 200 lb per rung . Aluminum trays are lighter than steel, facilitating easier installation and reducing labor costs .Tray Models and SeriesCommon models include T&B AH1-8 series and Eaton B-Line Series 1–5:T&B AH1-8 Series: Long-span trays in 40 ft (12.2 m) straight sections, widths from 12" to 36", ladder-style rungs with 6", 9", or 12" spacing, and H-beam side rails 8" high . Designed for industrial applications like oil and gas, mining, and commercial infrastructure.Eaton B-Line Series 2–5: I-beam side rails with 6063-T6 aluminum, rungs supporting 200 lb concentrated loads, Wedge-Lock splice system, and widths from 6" to 36". Standard rung spacing is 6", 9", or 12", with radiused fittings from 12" to 48" .EAE Electric Aluminum Ladders and Trays: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, suitable for indoor and outdoor use, with high thermal conductivity to prevent cable overheating .Dimensions and Load SpecificationsWidths: 6", 9", 12", 18", 24", 30", 36"Rung Spacing: 6", 9", 12"Side Rail Height: 8" (T&B AH1-8)Support Span: Up to 40 ft for long-span trays, reducing the number of supports required Load Capacity: Varies by series and span; for example, AH1-8 series supports up to 528 lb/ft for shorter spans, decreasing with longer spans . Eaton B-Line trays support 200 lb concentrated load per rung .ApplicationsAluminum trapezoidal cable trays are ideal for:Industrial facilities: Oil and gas, mining, pulp and paperCommercial infrastructure: Office buildings, data centersOutdoor installations: Roadway crossings, pipe bridgesEnvironments requiring corrosion resistance: Coastal or chemical plants Key FeaturesLightweight and easy to installHigh corrosion resistance and durabilityLadder or tray styles with flexible rung spacingLong-span options reduce support requirementsCompatible with standard strut accessories and Wedge-Lock splice systemsFire-resistant and non-toxic in case of fire These specifications make aluminum alloy trapezoidal cable trays a versatile and reliable choice for managing electrical and data cables in demanding industrial and commercial environments.
