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.
