FRP Cable Trays
FRP Ladder Type Cable Tray
Cable trays provide a support system for managing cables in a Building or other places. Cable tray installation provide instant approach to maintain and replacement of cables without any difficulty. They give excellent ventilation and enhance life of cables.
Thinkgreen offers high strength ladder type cable trays that are perfect for heavy-duty power distribution in industries.
FRP Channel Type Cable Tray (Perforated)
Thinkgreen offers the most extensive range of perforated type cable trays, which are used for the installation of cables, smaller & controlled cables. These trays can accommodate large number of branch lines and have high load-bearing capacity.
Perforated cable trays can be hung using a center rod support, C-hanger or two-trapeze configuration. They can also be mounted on a wall using brackets. For further security, these cable trays are also available with covers. We can also customize the products depending upon the specific requirements.

Benefits
Superior resistance to a broad range of chemicals. Unaffected by moisture or immersion in water when sealed. Will not rust like metal and will not rot like wood.
Can be field fabricated using simple carpenter tools and is easily lifted into place during installation.
Resists impact, non-denting and hard to break. Pigmented resin, surfacing veil and UV-Inhibitors prevent moisture absorption and warping.
A wide variety of profiles can be made in FRP for many different markets. Multiple resin types and custom color options are available.
Fiberglass profiles generally weigh 75-80% less than similar steel shapes and 30% less than similar aluminum shapes.
Will not permanently deform under impact. Corrosion resistance eliminates need for constant painting and upkeep. Provides long-term, cost effective solutions with lower life cycle costs.
Stronger than steel and aluminum, pound-for-pound in lengthwise direction. This makes holding, using and transporting easier.
Low electrical and thermal conductivity properties and high dielectric capability. This means it won’t spark or conduct electricity, nor will it transmit cold or heat to the hands.
