T3 Cable Tray
T3 Cable Tray is an industry-standard system for commercial and industrial electrical installations. Its one-piece formed design provides continuous cable support, with a 45mm cable depth and widths available from 150mm to 600mm.
T5 Cable Tray
T5 Cable Tray provides an 80mm cable depth for heavier cable loads and higher-capacity electrical installations. It is available in widths from 150mm to 600mm and is supplied in standard 3-metre lengths.
Whether you're installing cable tray in a commercial building, industrial facility or infrastructure project, Ozstrut can help you select the right tray size, accessories and support system with fast delivery to your job site, all around Australia.
Cable Tray Accessories: cable trays are used to their full potential with radius plates, riser links, splice plates and tx brackets to bend, raise and connect cable trays in an installation. They are also to be used with specific cable tray nuts and bolts to attach fittings. You can also use a cable tray cover to keep cables safer from debris.
Bending Cable Trays: to bend a cable tray you need a radius plate, cable tray nuts + bolts, and an angle grinder or other cutting device. You must cut the steel tray, bend it into position and then attach radius plate, nuts and bolts - holding it in place.
Cable Tray Sizes: cable trays are available in a range of widths to suit different cable capacities and project requirements. Sizes include 150mm, 300mm, 450mm and 600mm, with both T3 and T5 cable tray options available.

Cable Tray FAQs
Find answers to common questions about cable tray systems, installation, Australian Standards and selecting the right cable tray.
Why Use a Cable Tray?
A cable tray keeps wiring safe, organised and accessible. It reduces the risk of damage and makes upgrades or maintenance easier. Contractors choose cable trays to meet strict project standards and deliver reliable results.
Applications of Cable Trays
Electrical contractors install cable trays in commercial buildings, factories and infrastructure projects. A cable tray system supports large wiring runs, data cables and power distribution networks, making it essential for complex projects.
Types of Cable Trays
Cable trays come in different designs to suit project requirements. Ladder trays handle heavy-duty loads, perforated trays improve airflow and support, and solid-bottom trays protect sensitive wiring from dust and debris.
Selecting the Right Cable Tray
Contractors select cable trays based on capacity, material and the installation environment. Choosing the correct cable tray helps keep wiring secure, efficient and compliant across a wide range of commercial and industrial projects.
What Is the Difference Between T3 and T5 Cable Tray?
T3 and T5 cable trays differ mainly in their side wall height and load capacity. T3 cable trays are commonly used for commercial electrical installations, while T5 cable trays provide greater cable-laying depth and are better suited to heavier cable loads and industrial applications. Selecting the correct tray depends on cable volume, support spacing and project requirements.
What Standards do Australian Cable Tray Installations Need to Comply With?
Cable tray installations in Australia should comply with the requirements of AS/NZS 3000:2018 (Wiring Rules), which sets out requirements for the selection, installation and protection of electrical wiring systems. Cable trays must be correctly supported, securely installed and provide appropriate protection for the cables they carry. Depending on the project, additional Australian Standards or project-specific specifications may also apply. Always ensure cable tray systems are installed by qualified professionals in accordance with the relevant standards and manufacturer recommendations.
