Electrical installation solutions in walkable cable tray systems

Q: What exactly are walkable cable tray systems?

Walkable cable tray systems are robust, modular support systems for reliable routing and distribution of power and data lines in industrial environments. They are designed so that people can walk on them – ideal for maintenance, inspection and assembly in production systems.

Q: What applications are OBO cable tray systems used for in the automotive industry?

Primarily, OBO cable tray systems are used in the automotive industry in production and assembly halls, test stands, battery assembly lines and in chassis and painting plants. They enable efficient, reliable and flexible cable routing in areas with high mechanical and thermal requirements.

Q: What benefits are offered by OBO walkable cable trays?

The BKRS system from OBO stands for a maximum load-bearing capacity and stability. It enables fast access for maintenance work and, thanks to its modular design, is suitable for making flexible adjustments. The corrosion-resistant material makes it long-lasting. The BKRS system is compatible with existing industrial plants and features a patented cover system and reliable slip protection.

Q: Can the systems be customised?

Yes, OBO develops customer-specific solutions – from initial planning to the final delivery. Dimensions, load capacity, surface coating and accessories can be tailored to the customer’s individual requirements.

Q: Do OBO cable tray systems correspond to defined standards?

Yes, all systems meet the applicable European standards, in particular DIN EN 61537 and other industry-specific specifications of the automotive industry.

Q: What sustainability aspects does OBO take into account in production?

We rely on resource-efficient production processes, recycling of metals and regional suppliers to minimise transportation routes and carbon emissions.

Q: What automotive manufacturers does OBO already work with?

OBO has supplied leading OEMs and suppliers from the automotive industry for many years. On request, we would be happy to provide you with reference customers and example projects.

Effective protection of power supply cables and people in industry

In the automotive sector, OBO concentrates mainly on system construction and conveyor technology. Our focus is on chassis construction, meaning the wiring of machines or systems along the production lines. The electrical installation in chassis construction covers 75% of the overall installation. Powerful protection against footfall, dust and many other loads is essential for supplying the systems with power and data reliably. To meet these requirements, OBO offers the BKRS walkable cable tray system. The system is designed for the highest loads, which frequently occur in the vicinity of machines and automated production systems with robotic elements.
