Common cable trays are made of galvanized,, aluminum, or glass-fiber reinforced plastic. The material for a given application is chosen based on where it will be used. Galvanized tray may be made of pre-galvanized steel sheet fabricated into tray, or may be hot-dip galvanized after fabrication. When galvanized tray is cut to length in the field, usually the cut surface will be painted with a zinc-rich compound to protect the metal from corrosion.
These trays are constructed from materials that are resistant to high temperatures and flames, providing an essential barrier between the cables and potential fire sources. Overloaded trays, damaged cables, and combustible debris within trays are among the primary fire risks.
