A cable protector is a low-profile ramp that not only covers cables, hoses, and pipes to prevent damage from vehicles, but also reduces trip hazards for pedestrians. SONCO’s range of cable protectors comes in various channel configurations—including ADA- compliant models. Manufactured in the USA with high-performance polyurethane and reinforced fiberglass, these protectors provide lasting performance across construction sites, warehouses, event venues, and industrial facilities.
Advantages of Polyurethane Cable Protectors
Impact Resistance:
The gradual curing process creates a material that absorbs shocks and doesn’t break under heavy loads.
Environment Resistance:
Withstands exposure to chemicals and UV rays, outperforming rubber, plastic, or metal alternatives.
Compliance:
Meeting OSHA and NEC standards, with select models also designed to meet ADA accessibility guidelines.
Modular Systems of Cable Ramps
Many of our cable ramps are modular, meaning their interlocking systems allow you to connect multiple units for continuous coverage, form angled pathways for intricate layouts, or add ramps to accommodate access needs. Whether you need to protect cables in tight spaces or extend coverage over a broad area, our modular design adapts to your unique project setup.
FAQ
1. What diameter cables, hoses, and pipes do a cable protector accommodate?
A: We have options ranging from one to five channels, and each model accommodates different cable, hose, or pipe diameters. Our smallest options support up to 1.25 inches in diameter, while our largest support up to 3 inches. For best results, always position the most sensitive lines near the hinge side of the protector.
2. How much load can these cable protectors support?
A: We offer models that can handle up to 40,000 lbs. per axle (approximately 20,000 lbs. per tire), making them suitable for areas with heavy vehicle or equipment traffic.
3. Are these cable protectors suitable for outdoor applications?
A: Yes. Their solid-cast polyurethane construction, fiberglass-reinforced lid, and durable finish allow them to perform well under UV exposure, moisture, and chemical contact. They are built to meet the demands of both indoor and outdoor environments.
4. Can these protectors be used to improve site accessibility?
A: Absolutely. Some models feature ADA-compliant designs with extended ramps and a low-profile build to support safe passage for wheelchairs, strollers, and pedestrians while still protecting the cables.
5. Do SONCO cable protectors come with a warranty?
A: Yes, all cable protectors sold by SONCO carry a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, offered by the manufacturer.
