Efficient cable management in industrial environments is critical for safety and operations. Traditionally used in construction and mechanical support applications, strut channels offer a versatile solution for industrial cable management. Thanks to their modularity and durability, strut channels meet your different cable routing needs and provide flexible, reliable and long-lasting solutions.
Use of strut channels in dynamic fields
Unlike traditional cable transportation systems, strut channels can be easily modified and expanded. An ideal solution for environments that require frequent layout changes, strut channels make cable management more organized and efficient thanks to their easy assembly and modular structure. When new cables are added or the existing layout is changed, it allows the system to be easily expanded without the need for major renovations. This speeds up the installation process and allows for easy maintenance and modifications. Strut channels can be configured as ceiling-mounted cable transportation systems, underfloor support systems or vertical cable risers. This provides maximum flexibility in industrial areas.
An economical alternative to traditional cable transportation systems, strut channels help to save on both material and labor costs.
Strut channels are very useful in facilities where space is limited. Thanks to their vertical mounting configuration, power and data cables can be placed neatly along walls or in equipment racks. This saves floor space and improves airflow, reducing the risk of overheating.
Thanks to the partitions integrated into the strut channel, specific routes can be created for different cable types. Strut channels reduce electromagnetic interference between power and data cables, simplify troubleshooting and maintenance, and extend cable life by reducing mechanical stress.
Long-term use in humid areas
Humid and chemically exposed industrial environments pose a severe endurance test for traditional cable management systems. Industries such as marine, chemical processing and food production require robust cable management solutions that can withstand extreme conditions. Strut channels made from stainless steel or galvanized steel offer high corrosion and chemical exposure resistance, making them an excellent option for such applications.
From offshore oil platforms requiring heavy-duty corrosion resistance, to industrial plants with frequent exposure to chemicals, to pharmaceutical and food processing plants where hygiene standards are critical.
Safety and accessibility
Suspended strut trunking systems offer an efficient method of managing industrial cables in the ceiling. These systems are widely used in warehouses, production facilities and transportation hubs, keeping cables off the floor, reducing fall hazards and increasing accessibility for maintenance teams. This minimizes occupational safety risks and provides an aesthetic layout of the workspace.
In environments requiring protection against dust, humidity or physical impact, the strut channels can be used as frames for closed cable management solutions. By integrating with perforated or solid covers, the cable infrastructure of facilities is protected from external threats.
Integration with intelligent cable management systems
One of the most innovative aspects of strut channels in cable management is that they can be customized with bracket solutions to suit specific industrial needs. With strut channels, professionals can design custom assembly solutions to accommodate complex machine integrations or specific industry requirements.
Strut channels offer a wide range of applications, from custom-made brackets for robotic assembly lines to mounting solutions for large-scale power distribution panels and adjustable supports for future-proof industrial cabling layouts.
