Frequently Asked Questions

Before making a selection, understand the mechanics. A cable tray is a structural support system designed to organize, protect, and route electrical cables and busways. Unlike conduit, which encases cables in a closed pipe, trays offer an open or semi-open channel. This design is superior for large-scale projects because it facilitates faster installation, simplifies future maintenance, and maximizes heat dissipation—critical for preventing thermal throttling in the Kingdom's heat.
A cable tray is a structural support system used to organize and protect electrical cables and busways. Unlike conduit, which is a closed pipe that encases cables, cable trays are open or semi-open channels. This design allows for easier installation, simpler maintenance, and superior heat dissipation, making them ideal for large-scale projects in Saudi Arabia.
Prices vary significantly by material and size. A standard 150mm x 75mm galvanized ladder tray typically ranges from 12 SAR to 25 SAR per meter, depending on the supplier and bulk quantity. Stainless steel options will cost significantly more, often between 45 SAR and 80 SAR per meter.
The three primary types are Ladder (open rungs, best for power), Solid Tray (full bottom and sides, best for control/sensitive cables), and Wire Mesh (interconnected wires, best for high airflow and fire safety).
Measure the total cross-sectional area of all cables. Select a tray width that keeps the fill percentage under 40% for power cables. Ensure the depth allows the largest cable to pass without touching the bottom.
Common widths range from 75mm to 600mm, with depths from 50mm to 200mm. Matkel stocks standard sizes compatible with most Saudi electrical designs, but custom lengths are available for large industrial runs.
Yes. Using a cable tray offset calculator helps determine the correct length of straight sections needed for turns, minimizing material waste and ensuring the tray maintains its load-bearing capacity through bends.
A Technical Product Data Sheet provides the exact load tables, chemical resistance data, and installation diagrams you need for your engineering drawings. It ensures you don't buy a product that lacks the required SASO certification or specific load ratings for your project.
