Steel Cable Tray vs. PVC Cable Tray – Application Perspective
While steel cable trays and ladders are widely used in heavy-duty and structural applications, PVC cable trays are preferred in environments where electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, and lightweight installation are required.
| Item | Steel Cable Tray / Cable Ladder | PVC Cable Tray |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Galvanized steel / cold rolled steel | Rigid PVC |
| Electrical Conductivity | Conductive, earthing required | Non-conductive, no earthing required |
| Load Capacity | High load capacity, suitable for long spans | Medium load, mainly for light-duty systems |
| Corrosion Resistance | Depends on surface treatment (GI, coating) | Excellent resistance to chemicals and moisture |
| Fire Performance | Non-combustible metal structure | Flame-retardant, self-extinguishing |
| Installation | Strong but heavier, mechanical fixing required | Lightweight, easy to cut and install |
| Typical Applications | Power plants, heavy industry, infrastructure | Commercial buildings, offices, service ducts |
| Manufacturing Method | Roll forming machine production | Extrusion molding |
| Outdoor Use | Suitable with proper surface protection | UV-protected, suitable for outdoor use |
Therefore, while PVC cable trays are ideal for lightweight and corrosion-sensitive environments, steel cable trays and ladders remain the preferred choice for heavy-duty, structural, and long-span cable support systems.
