The Ladder Style Vertical Convex Bend is a specialized fitting that enables a cable tray run to transition upwards and over an obstruction (such as a pipe, duct, or structural beam) in the vertical plane. Characterized by its upward-curving "convex" profile, this fitting maintains the open ladder design for maximum ventilation while providing a smooth, radiused path that protects cables from sharp bends and abrasion during installation.
Key Features & Benefits:
Obstacle Clearance: Specifically designed to route cable trays over overhead obstacles without interrupting the cable run, ensuring continuous support.
Cable Safety: The radiused design respects the minimum bend radius of power and control cables, preventing insulation damage and stress points.
Ventilation Maintained: The open ladder rung construction is preserved throughout the bend, allowing heat to dissipate effectively even during vertical transitions.
Structural Integrity: Engineered with reinforced side rails to handle the mechanical stress of the vertical transition and the weight of cables.
Easy Integration: Precision-formed to connect seamlessly with standard straight ladder tray sections, ensuring alignment and ease of installation.
