Why we use the range
Equipment is only useful when it fits the site.
Steel wire basket, cable tray and ladder systems for robust, segregated and maintainable power and data routes in commercial and industrial settings.
Legrand’s overhead cable-management range includes Cablofil steel wire tray and the Swifts cable-tray and cable-ladder families. The choice between them depends on cable loading, span, support method, environment, fire strategy and the access needed for future change—not simply the width of the route.
Product breadth
The useful parts of the range.
This is a practical, paraphrased guide to the manufacturer's published range. Exact models, approvals and availability are checked against the current project information before quotation.
Cablofil steel wire tray
Ventilated steel wire containment with a wide support and accessory range for adaptable power, data and control routes.
Swifts cable tray
Strong steel tray systems with matched bends, tees and support accessories for industrial and building-service installations.
Swifts cable ladder
Pre-galvanised and other finish options for heavier cable loads and longer support spans where a ladder system is the better engineering fit.
Selection model
Four tests before a product reaches the quotation.
Brand familiarity is not enough. We look at what happens during normal operation, credible faults, maintenance and future change.

Whole-life assessment
Why it may suit a particular environment.
Resilience
Correctly supported steel containment protects cable routes, preserves separation and gives a maintainable path for alteration without disturbing unrelated services.
Performance
Basket, tray and ladder each provide different loading, ventilation, span and bend characteristics, allowing the route to be matched to the cable system rather than improvised on site.
Environmental value
Durable, accessible containment can be extended or altered without replacing a complete route; finish and corrosion resistance are selected for the actual exposure.
Parts & support
Established UK product families, published load data and coordinated accessories can aid staged projects and maintenance, with current compatibility and stock checked before commitment.
Our application
Selected against evidence—not a favourite badge.
We consider cable load, support span, segregation, fire performance, earthing, corrosion category, bend radius, accessibility and the route for future maintenance.
- Survey the supply, load, interfaces and physical environment.
- Confirm current technical data, approvals and system compatibility.
- Define maintenance access, records, spares and software responsibilities.
- State the chosen equipment and material assumptions in the quotation.
- Test, commission and hand over the work included in our scope.

Manufacturer names and advertising imagery are used with permission for product identification and to explain equipment our team works with. Their inclusion does not imply endorsement or a formal partnership unless expressly stated. Product ranges, firmware, warranties, approvals and spare-part availability can change. We verify the current position for each quotation and do not promise indefinite continuity of supply.
