Frequently Asked Questions About GRP cable trays and GRP cable ladders
What are GRP cable trays and GRP cable ladders?
GRP cable trays and GRP cable ladders are cable support systems made from Glass Reinforced Plastic. They are designed to support and manage electrical, data, and control cables in industrial, infrastructure, and commercial environments.
What is the difference between a GRP cable tray and a GRP cable ladder?
GRP cable trays provide a continuous base for supporting smaller or densely packed cables, while GRP cable ladders have open rungs that allow for better ventilation and are ideal for heavier or high-power cables.
What are GRP cable trays and ladders used for?
They are commonly used in rail, utilities, water treatment plants, oil and gas, renewable energy, marine, and industrial facilities where corrosion resistance and durability are required.
Are GRP cable trays better than steel cable trays?
Yes. GRP cable trays are corrosion resistant, lightweight, non-conductive, and require far less maintenance than steel trays, making them more cost-effective over their service life.
Do GRP cable trays and ladders corrode or rust?
No. GRP cable trays and ladders do not rust, corrode, or degrade in wet, chemical, or coastal environments, unlike steel alternatives.
Are GRP cable trays suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. GRP cable trays are UV-stable, weather resistant, and perform reliably in extreme temperatures, making them ideal for outdoor installations.
Are GRP cable trays fire resistant?
GRP cable trays can be manufactured using fire-retardant resin systems to meet specific fire performance and smoke emission requirements for infrastructure and industrial applications.
Are GRP cable trays easy to install?
Yes. GRP cable trays and ladders are significantly lighter than steel systems, enabling faster installation, reduced manual handling risks, and lower installation costs.
How long do GRP cable trays and ladders last?
GRP cable trays and ladders typically have a service life of 25–30+ years with minimal maintenance, even in harsh or aggressive environments.
Why choose GRP cable trays over galvanised or stainless steel systems?
GRP cable trays offer superior corrosion resistance, lower weight, electrical insulation, reduced maintenance, and a lower whole-life cost compared to galvanised or stainless steel cable systems.
