Project overview

A well-known logistics company in Longtown, England, built its plans for cable management into the design phase of a new distribution unit. With the business preparing to transition its vehicle fleet to electric, a cable trough system was specified from the outset to handle the wiring needed for charging point infrastructure across the site.

The challenge: a tight programme

The original specification called for concrete cable troughs, but the lead time didn't fit the contractor's schedule. With only 12 weeks allowed to complete the project, a concrete-based solution risked delaying the wider programme of works before installation had even begun.

The solution

HAURATON supplied 600 metres of its FASERFIX SUPER SERVICE CHANNEL as a faster alternative, delivering the full order within three to four weeks. The quick turnaround let the contractor keep the project on track.

Inside FASERFIX SUPER SERVICE CHANNEL

The system is engineered to handle extreme static and dynamic loads up to class E600, suitable for areas with constant heavy-vehicle movement.

Solid non-slip ductile iron cover with a KTL cathodic-dip coating for corrosion resistance and can be fitted with cable outlets for flexible routing.

The channel meets fire resistance class A1 under DIN 4102, meaning it's classified as non-combustible, while a galvanised steel cable tray underneath keeps cables and other utilities stored neatly and efficiently.

Quick and easy access with HAURATON's patented boltless SIDE-LOCK system.

Outcome

By supplying a robust, quick-turnaround alternative to concrete troughs, HAURATON helped the contractor meet a demanding 12-week programme while still delivering a channel system rated for heavy logistics-site use.

The result is a distribution unit with cable infrastructure already in place to support its planned move to electric vehicles, without compromise on durability or ease of future access.
