Hi, Tonchi here, Equip Supply's Sales and Projects Manager.
Time is money, and choosing the right cable support can make a big difference to your install time.
Based on what I’ve seen out in the field, here’s how I decide between a cable tray and a cable basket.
Tray
Best for heavy-duty power cables or large bundles
Ideal for larger loads
Offers more flexibility for changes or future upgrades
Perfect for hiding messy cables on exposed installs
Easier to attach lights and accessories
Basket
Best for smaller control or data cables
Ideal for lighter runs
Straightforward to tie off during pipe installs, especially when working from below
Easier to drop cables out the bottom - no sharp edges
Do you agree?
The right choice depends on your project, but get this right and you’ll save time, effort, and a few headaches down the track. If you've got a job coming up, give me a call and I'll be happy to talk through your options.
