Our aluminum solid bottom cable tray has a continuous, unperforated base and two solid side rails, made from lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy. Aluminum forms a natural protective oxide layer, so the tray resists rust without a zinc or paint coating, and it is much lighter than steel tray, which makes it quicker to lift and install, especially at height and in long runs. The solid base supports cables along their full length and keeps dust and debris out, which suits control, instrumentation, and data cables.

Key Features
- Lightweight: much lighter than steel tray, which cuts handling effort, transport weight, and load on the supporting structure
- Corrosion resistant: a natural oxide layer protects the surface, with no coating to chip or wear off
- Non-magnetic: suited to installations where magnetic materials should be avoided
- Full cable support: the continuous base carries small and soft cables along their entire length
- Better protection: solid sides and base keep dust, debris, and small objects out, and an optional aluminum cover closes the run
- Easy to cut and modify: the material is easy to cut and drill on site
- Complete system: matching bends, tees, reducers, covers, and supports can be supplied

Where to Use It
- Coastal and humid locations where steel would corrode
- Rooftops and elevated routes where weight matters
- Data centers, telecom rooms, and commercial buildings
- Water treatment, food, and light chemical environments
- Control and instrumentation cable routes that need protection
Aluminum or Steel Solid Bottom Tray?
| Aluminum | Galvanized steel | |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | Much lighter | Heavier |
| Corrosion resistance | Good without a coating | Depends on the zinc layer |
| Strength and stiffness | Lower, so spans may be shorter or sections thicker | Higher |
| Thermal movement | Expands more with temperature | Expands less |
| Cost | Usually higher | Usually lower |
Good to Know
- Match the hardware: use aluminum or stainless steel fasteners and brackets. Plain carbon steel hardware in contact with aluminum can cause corrosion at the joint
- Allow for expansion: aluminum moves more than steel when temperature changes, so long or outdoor runs need expansion joints
- Check the span and load: aluminum is less stiff than steel, so confirm the safe working load at your support spacing
- Heat: a solid base gives less airflow than perforated tray, although aluminum conducts heat well, so check cable ratings and fill if the cables run warm
- Fire requirements: aluminum softens at a lower temperature than steel, so check the project's fire requirements before choosing it for a fire-rated route
