Cope® LADDER Cable Tray System

Cope’s® universal cable tray solution is ideal for use in the power, automotive, transportation, data, heavy industrial and commercial industries including power industries, heavy industrial industries, and light industrial and commercial industries. Ladder trays are prefabricated metal structures that consist of two side rails connected by individual transverse members or rungs. Ladder tray is the most common and the most economical type of tray, also providing maximum ventilation for cabling.

Cope Ladder tray can withstand heavy rigor and harsh environments with heavy hot dip galvanized steel, fiberglass, and aluminum options. Cope rungs are fastened to the side members by an exclusive swaging process. This method insures superior mechanical and electrical connection and maximum access to cables even in narrow or divided cable trays.

Ladder tray systems are a cost effective alternative and allow for easy installation of cables by electricians as well as future access for adding or removing cable runs. All models are UL-classified and meet National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) VE-1 standards for metal cable tray systems.

A range of nearly twenty fittings makes the system totally customizable to accommodate any kind of tricky configuration. Users can achieve design flexibility with numerous sizes of horizontal and vertical elbows, adjustable elbows, cross pieces, tees, reducers, and branches. Cope customer service experts can help customers select the right fittings for specific applications.

Strong and durable, Cope Ladder Tray Systems are known for their swaged rung. The unique design offers double the pull out strength, provides an overall stiffer rigidity and an unobscured access to cables when compared to welded options. Due to the swaged mechanical connection made at 20,000 pounds, the rung will not fail even under extreme conditions. Depending on the gauge required, steel versions meet ASTM A1011 or ASTM A1008 standards. The light weight, aluminum option is extruded 6063-T6 material and meets NEMA loading requirements.
