Frequently Asked Questions

What types of cable containment systems does QUEST install?

QUEST Electrical installs a wide range of cable containment systems, including cable ladder, cable tray, wire basket, trunking and conduit. We provide solutions for commercial and industrial environments, from small electrical installations to large-scale power distribution projects.

What is the difference between cable ladder, tray and basket?

Cable ladder is commonly used for supporting larger, heavier power cables, while cable tray provides continuous support for a range of electrical cables. Wire basket is often used for smaller power, data and communication cables where flexibility and accessibility are important.

Can QUEST design and install industrial cable containment systems?

Yes. QUEST provides industrial cable containment installation services, planning suitable routes, support arrangements and containment types around cable loading, site conditions, accessibility and future requirements.

Can cable containment systems support large power cables?

Yes. Properly designed cable ladder and heavy-duty cable containment systems can support large SWA, AWA and other industrial power cables. The containment and supports must be selected to accommodate the cable weight, loading and installation requirements.

Can cable containment be installed within an operational factory?

Yes. QUEST regularly carries out cable containment installations in live manufacturing facilities, warehouses and commercial premises. Works can be planned around production schedules to minimise disruption, including phased installations and planned shutdowns where necessary.

Can cable containment systems allow for future electrical expansion?

Yes. Where appropriate, spare containment capacity and additional cable routes can be incorporated into the initial design, allowing businesses to introduce new machinery, electrical supplies or data infrastructure with less disruption in the future.
