Unistrut launches cable trunking range
Fast, safe installation and a huge choice of sizes and fi ttings are offered with a new range of galvanised cable trunking introduced by Unistrut for installation in ceilings, on walls or in fl oor cavities. It
complements the established ranges of cable tray, ladder and basket already offered by the Midlands-based company.
The trunking range extends from 50 x 50mm to 300 x 300mm in 17 sizes, and also includes lighting trunking. One, two and three segregated compartment options are available and there are more than 2,000 associated fi ttings including angles, bends, tees, crossovers, offsets, reducers, bell mouths, pin rails, cable retainers, socket plates, stirrup hangers, girder clamps and other fi xings. A special feature of the design is the positive lid-fi xing device – a quarter-turn on the turnbuckle locks a cam under the return edge of the trunking with a defi nite click to assure the installer that the lid is secured.
