Wire-tray Trunking – perfect for sensitive applications
Avoids heat build-up
The open, robust design of our Wire-tray Trunking does not simply allow easy insertion and removal of cables during laying or for maintenance and repair work. The excellent ventilation, which systematically avoids heat build-up, is another significant argument in its favour – and an unbeatable advantage especially in applications like IT or communications that are sensitive to heat. It also has UL and DNV approval for offshore use.
Easy to clean
Thanks to its non-enclosed design and the use of corrosion-resistant steel or stainless steel wire, which is additionally resistant to all common cleaning agents, our Wire-tray Trunking can be cleaned easily and thoroughly – also with a high-pressure cleaner or foam. Roof-shaped or flat covers are used to prevent dirt from settling and building up in case of horizontal installation, and to protect the cables laid in the trunking from mechanical stress or from liquids such as cleaning fluids dripping from above. A fully protected variant with side covers is likewise available. The covers are simply clipped onto the Wire-tray Trunking and also have the effect of increasing the installation’s overall stability.
Simple pre-assembly and installation
PFLITSCH Wire-tray Trunking consists of up to 6 mm thick, zinc-plated steel or stainless steel wire and combines optimal corrosion protection with high stability. It can be individually assembled using only two tools: in just a few steps, you can make bends, corners, offsets and reducers from a straight trunking section by cutting away any wire not needed with our Wire-tray Trunking shears. The segments are then screwed together with connectors and any open wire ends fitted with end caps.
Tools for Wire-tray Trunking
Using our mobile, electrohydraulic Wire-tray Trunking shears, you can easily cut away any wire not needed when your trunking is pre-assembled. These battery-powered shears with their special tool enable low-burr cutting of V2A, V4A or zinc-plated steel wire up to 6 mm in diameter – and finish the cut flush with the cross wire. The 330°-rotatable tool head is easy to use, even on already installed cable trunking.
Accessories
Radius limiters inserted at transitions and bends protect sensitive fibre-optic cables, for example, from damage. Insertable separators help route cables in an orderly manner in the Wire-tray Trunking. Universal mounting plates can be supplied for installing components directly at the trunking. And thanks to our special covers, you can protect the cables laid in the trunking from mechanical stress or from liquids such as cleaning fluids dripping from above. A fully protected variant with side covers is likewise available. The covers are simply clipped onto the Wire-tray Trunking components and also have the effect of increasing overall stability.
