NEMA VE1 Aluminum Cable Ladder 6063 T5 200mm-700mm Width Mill Finish Build

aluminum cable ladder NEMA VE-1 is the 150 mm aluminum route specified to the North American cable tray standard, used where a light, corrosion resistant ladder has to be documented against a recognised class and load table rather than a supplier datasheet.

The ladder is extruded from 6063 T5 aluminum in 150 mm usable width, with rail heights of 75 mm to 150 mm, rung pitch of 225 mm or 300 mm and modules of 2 m or 3 m. Rungs are pressed or riveted into the rails so the section stays straight and the rung spacing stays within tolerance along the whole run.

NEMA VE 1 defines the class designation, the load classification and the test method, so the engineer can state a class and the contractor can install to a support spacing that is verifiable. For a 150 mm ladder that usually means a light to medium duty route carrying control, instrumentation and small power cable.

Aluminum is the right material for this duty: it does not rust, it needs no paint, it weighs about a third of steel so a single installer can handle a module, and it is non magnetic so it does not affect instrument signals or heat up beside single core cables. Anodizing adds a hard oxide layer for humid or mildly coastal rooms.

BENDIN extrudes and fabricates this ladder in house with 7000 m of output per working day, a 180 person team and thirty years of cable support manufacturing, exporting 60 to 70 percent to North American and European contractors. Wall thickness, straightness and rung position are checked on every batch.

Minimum order 100 m, delivery on request, 5 to 20 USD per metre, pallet packing, terms T/T, D/A or D/P. Send the tray schedule and the available support points and we will confirm the class, the rail height and the deflection at your span.

BENDIN holds ISO 9001 quality certification and issues CE Declarations of Conformity. The standards above state the design and test basis of this product; third party test reports or national approvals are supplied on request and are not implied unless confirmed in the contract.

Dimensions, rung spacing and surface treatment are produced to project drawings. Load and deflection calculations are issued for spans above 3 m.

Q: What class should I specify for control cable?
A: Class depends on cable weight and span. Send the tray schedule and support spacing and we confirm the class and deflection against NEMA VE 1.

Q: Is anodizing necessary indoors?
A: Not always. Mill finish is adequate in dry rooms; anodizing is recommended for humid areas or where the surface will be handled and cleaned frequently.

Q: Can it be combined with a wider main run?
A: Yes. Reducers and tees connect the 150 mm branch to 300 or 450 mm mains from the same fitting family.

Q: What is the minimum order?
A: Minimum order 100 m, prices from 5 to 20 USD per metre, on T/T, D/A or D/P terms.
