GKS ENGINEERED CABLE TRAYS

In modern industrial plants, the ambient conditions represent a major danger to power, data and control cables. Soiling, vibrations and industrial influences create a tough environment. This is why it is even more important for the electrical installations of machines and plants to withstand the different loads reliably. The GKS Engineered cable tray system from OBO offers an open space for routing cables, protecting them against corrosion and also allows the heat from the cables to dissipate. GKS Cable trays are subjected to corrosion category standard DIN EN ISO 12944 and classification of corrosion resistance according to IS/IEC 61537.

Surfaces for any area of application

The GKS cable trays is available in two different surface versions. As a Post-galvanised variant (FT), it is designed for industrial environments and can be used in machine and systems construction. For interior areas without particular requirements, the Pre-galvanised surface (FS) is preferred.

BET Testing

All the OBO articles & systems are subjected to practical load testing. The basic principle for the tests of the OBO cable support systems are as per IS/IEC 61537. After the load test, the maximum load capacity can be determined for each component, depending on the support distances and specific article parameters, such as component dimensions.
