Cable Bridge

Cable Bridge to suspend cables over a walkway
CableSafe® Cable Bridge is the heavy duty alternative for CableSafe® cable guards. The CableSafe Cable Bridge eliminates cables routed on the walkway and therefore will reduce the need for Cable Guards on the floor. The Cable Bridge is ideal when the walkway is used for small vehicles (e.g. bikes, pallet wagons, sometimes even fork lift trucks, etc.) The standard cable bridges are designed to safely suspend cables and hoses during construction or maintenance over walkways and roads.

What is a cable bridge?

A cable bridge is a free-standing steel gantry that carries cables and hoses over a walkway or road, so nothing lies on the floor. It is the heavy-duty alternative to cable guards: the run is managed on the bridge instead of under a cover, which keeps the passage clear for pedestrians, pallet trucks and forklifts. The standard unit is 2.25 m high, 1.20 m wide and 2 m long, extendable to 5 m, rated for 500 kg of cable and tested with 1,000 kg.

The Cable Bridge is used to improve safe working conditions where industrial cables and hoses are frequently used and where pedestrians, employees and/or contractor need to be kept safe.  The cable bridge is a standard design for their walkways, it provides a decent and safe location to route cables and hoses. With welding and installation efforts being the company’s daily operation, the cable bridges are constantly in use. The operators indicate that the cable bridge saves a lot of time for temporary measures to be set up and is an approved cable management system. Use the Cable Bridge for all your company cable and hose requirements to promote good housekeeping and eliminate slip and trip hazards in the workplace.

This heavy duty cable bridge is an alternative for cable guards and can hold up to 1000kg. The beauty of the cable bridge is that the cables are managed on the bridge, as opposed to on the floor like the cable guards. This was the cables routed on the walkway are eliminated, meaning there is less need for cable guards on the floor. The cable bridge has also been designed in a way such that any small vehicles such as bikes, pallet wagons and forklifts can pass through safely. This bright yellow cable bridge can be spotted from a mile away and helps to save a lot of time for setting up especially for temporary measures.

How the models differ

Specifications

The specification sheet for this article is being finalised. Ask us for the datasheet and we send it the same day.

Which size do I need?

Pick the hook by the heaviest single load it will carry, not by hose diameter alone. The static load in the table is the figure to work with; when the load is dynamic or shock-loaded, ask us to check the application first.

Frequently asked

Cable bridge or cable guards — which one?

Choose cable guards when the run is temporary and the crossing is mostly foot traffic. Choose the cable bridge when the walkway carries small vehicles such as bikes, pallet trucks or forklifts, when the run stays in place for weeks, or when cables must not touch the floor at all.

How much cable can the bridge carry?

The standard unit is rated for 500 kg of cable and hose weight and has been tested with 1,000 kg. Higher capacities and longer spans are built on request.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes. For outdoor and offshore use we recommend the hot-dip galvanised version under the yellow powder coating. The edges are rounded so cables and hoses are not damaged.

How is it transported and installed?

The bridge ships on a standard 1.2 × 0.8 m pallet and stands on its own feet; no anchoring is needed on a level surface. The horizontal side beams double as temporary storage for cables and hoses that are used often. Safety Hooks for the crossbeam are supplied on request.

What is the lead time?

Standard units are produced in the Netherlands and the USA in approximately four weeks. Custom widths, heights and load ratings are quoted per project.
