What to Check Before You Shortlist a Cable Tray Manufacturer?
Before you shortlist any cable tray manufacturer, work through these six checks:
- Confirm Manufacturer vs. Trader: Suppliers can be traders or fabricators reselling under their own brand. Request plant details like location, process, and in-house production.
- Check if range covers your requirement: Check if the offer width, height, thickness, and standard length ranges suit your project needs. If a project has non-standard dimensions, confirm if they can supply it or not.
- Confirm load capacity at your support span: A cable tray’s safe working load changes with its width, thickness, and support spacing. For accurate structural safety, always request load data for your specific span and do not rely on a generic maximum-load figure.
- Verify Standards & Coating thickness in writing: IS & IEC compliant” should come with the specific standard numbers behind it, and corrosion protection should come with a coating thickness figure — in microns or GSM — not just a finish name. Ask for both in writing before you order. See Standards, Certifications and Documentation.
- Ask for reference projects in your sector: A manufacturer who has supplied your type of facility before — data centre, substation, hospital, plant — understands its specific requirements. Ask for sector-relevant references, not just a general client list.
- Confirm quantity capability, lead time and delivery to your site: Get a real lead time for your quantity and specification, and confirm delivery coverage to your actual location — not just “pan-India” as a general claim. See Ordering, Lead Time and Delivery.
Cable Tray Range and Specifications
We manufacture five types of cable trays, namely, ladder, perforated, angular ladder, solid bottom, and cable tray covers.
Perforated Cable Trays
Perforated trays are metal ventilated channels used to support or organise cables. These are flat-bottom trays containing uniform perforations. They hang from ceilings or mount on walls to hold wires.
They offer a balance between airflow and cable support, making them suitable for environments where cable cooling and visibility are required. The perforations reduce heat, keep trays lightweight, and are easy to install.
| Parameter | Range offered |
|---|
| Width | 50 mm – 1,500 mm |
| Height | 25 mm – 120 mm |
| Thickness | 1.6 mm – 3.0 mm |
| Standard length | 3 m – 6 m |
| Materials | Steel, aluminium |
| Finishes | HDG, GI, powder-coated, aluminium, stainless steel |
| Standard | IS & IEC |
Ladder Type Cable Trays
Ladder cable trays consist of two longitudinal parallel rails, which are connected by several transverse perpendicular rungs. These cable trays appear like a ladder, so they are also called cable ladders.
They offer strong load-bearing capacity, making them suitable for heavy power, control cable runs, and data cables.
| Parameter | Range offered |
|---|
| Width | 150 mm / 300 mm / 450 mm / 600 mm |
| Height | 50 mm – 150 mm+ |
| Thickness | 1.5 mm – 3.0 mm |
| Standard length | 3 m – 6 m (10 ft – 20 ft), longer available |
| Materials | Steel, aluminium |
| Finishes | HDG, GI, powder-coated, aluminium, stainless steel |
| Standard | IS & IEC |
Angular Ladder Type Cable Trays
Angular ladder trays combine the strength of ladder trays with angular sections, such as L-shaped metal. They are connected using bolted joints. They are used where an installation needs to change elevation or direction without causing any damage to the cables. They are widely used in heavy industrial settings.
| Parameter | Range Offered |
|---|
| Runner Angle Size | 25x25x3 mm – 100x100x6 mm |
| Rung Flat Size | 25×3 mm – 50×6 mm |
| Thickness | 3.0 mm and above |
| Standard Length | 2.5 m – 6.0 m |
| Materials | Mild Steel (M.S. IS: 2062) |
| Finishes | HDG, Powder-Coated, Red Oxide |
Solid Bottom Type Cable Trays
These are fully enclosed metal channels used to fully support and protect cables, offering secure enclosures. They are used in places where cables need protection from dust and debris. They are also called solid bottom troughs.
| Parameter | Range Offered |
|---|
| Width (W) | 50 mm – 300 mm |
| Height (H) | 25 mm / 38 mm / 40 mm |
| Thickness (T) | 1.6 mm / 2.0 mm / 3.0 mm |
| Length (L) | 2.5 m or 3.0 m (2500 mm / 3000 mm) |
| Materials | GI Sheet / Aluminium |
| Finishes | Galvanized Sheet (GI), HDG, Powder-Coated, Aluminium |
Cable Tray Covers
Cable tray covers sit on the top of the tray system. They can be clipped or bolted directly onto the open top of a tray, acting as a shield against accidental contact and environmental exposure. In some applications, it also offers a degree of fire resistance. This improves the life and reliability of cable installations. They can be clipped or bolted directly onto the open top of a tray.
| Parameter | Range Offered |
|---|
| Cover Width (W) | 50 mm – 1000 mm |
| Cover Height (H) | 15 mm – 25 mm |
| Cover Collar (C) | 15 mm – 25 mm |
| Cover Length (L) | 2.5 m – 3.0 m (2500 mm – 3000 mm) |
| Thickness (T) | 1.6 mm – 3.0 mm |
| Cover Clamp Size | 25 x 2 mm / 25 x 3 mm |
| Materials | Mild Steel (M.S. IS: 1079 / IS: 10748 / IS: 2062), Aluminium (Al IS: 737), Stainless Steel (SS Grade 304 & 316) |
| Finishes | Same as cable tray finish or as per site requirements |
How Much Load Can A Cable Tray Carry?
The load capacity depends on width, thickness, support span, and type of tray. Heavy-gauge ladder trays with short spans carry more load than long-span trays. So always confirm the exact safe working load with the technical support team before placing an order.
Choosing the Right Finish for Your Environment
The choice of cable tray depends on factors like corrosion levels, physical weight constraints, and aesthetics and appearance.
Finishing Guide for Cable Trays
| Finish | Process | Best Suited To |
|---|
| Hot-dip galvanised (HDG) | Immersion in molten zinc | Outdoor, industrial, and higher-corrosion environments |
| Pre-galvanised (GI) | Zinc-coated sheet before forming | General indoor and light outdoor use |
| Powder-coated | Electrostatic powder application | Commercial installations where finish appearance matters alongside protection |
| Aluminium | — | Lightweight installations and corrosion-sensitive environments |
| Stainless steel | — | Hygienic, chemically aggressive, or high-specification environments |
To choose the right finish and coating thickness for your project, talk to the technical team.

How We Manufacture?
Aparna Rollform cable trays are manufactured by roll forming, a continuous metal-bending process. A steel or aluminium coil is fed through a series of rollers, and each roller shapes the metal until it reaches the completed tray profile. This is a manufacturing process, not an assembly or trading operation, and they do not arrive pre-formed from a third party. The trays are manufactured using our own line and raw material.
Process flow:
- Raw material inward: The steel or aluminium coil received is thoroughly inspected for defects like edges, damage, or defects.Â
- Roll forming: The raw material is fed into the machine, which are shaped into the tray profile.
- Punching/perforation:Â High-speed hydraulic presses punch the hole pattern into the tray bottom. Also, holes are punched at uniform levels for ladder-type trays, slots, and rung attachments.
- Welding and assembly: Side rails, rungs, and joining components are fixed at this stage. To handle load capacity, components are properly welded. This stage also includes ground smoothing welded joints to avoid cable damage.
- Â Surface finishing:Â Trays undergo galvanising, powder coating, or other finishes. They are then baked in an industrial oven to solidify the protective finish.
- Inspection: The final trays undergo dimensional and visual checks for width, wall height, length, and slot accuracy.
- Packing: They are packed with protective foam or plastic sheets or other material to prevent damage.
- Dispatch: They are then dispatched with essential paperwork to the facility.
Advanced machinery is used to produce cable trays, ensuring precise sizes and consistent finishes. Also, these trays can be customisable to different finishes, allowing you to place an order as per your project needs, without the need for another supplier.
