Why Steel Carriers?
Why should you select a Gortrac/Gortube metal cable carrier?
Gortrac standard carriers are manufactured from high strength steel with zinc dichromate plating for 70% better corrosion resistance than standard zinc. Gortrac carriers are also available in various grades of stainless steel. The primary advantages of Gortrac steel carriers are:
- Unsupported Span: Metal carriers offer a longer unsupported span than similar sized plastic carriers. Costlier metal carriers often provide better value than plastic carriers by eliminating the need for support systems.
- Strength: Metal carriers are significantly stronger than similar sized plastic carriers. Gortrac offers several lightweight steel carriers that are extremely cost effective, while providing 8 x more strength than traditional, heavy duty modular plastic carriers.
- Temperature resistance: Stainless Steel carriers are ideal for applications with ambient temperatures exceeding the 392 F short term limit of glass reinforced nylon carriers.
