System Design and Components
Our CRMS integrates key components designed for structural integrity and adaptability:
- Anchor Screws – Selected based on ground conditions, cable load, and project-specific requirements, providing a secure and reliable foundation without the need for concrete.
- Cable Posts – Available in heights ranging from 1050mm to 2400mm, with robust steel construction to support varying cable loads.
- Horizontal Rails (H-Rails) – Adjustable and available in multiple lengths (600mm, 1200mm, 1800mm, and 2400mm), ensuring flexibility in cable placement and additional mounting support.
- Cable Hangers – Offered in different sizes (145mm, 170mm, 225mm, and 300mm) with a minimum 100mm spacing, allowing for easy cable loading and organisation.
- J-Hangers – Available in composite (fully non-conductive) or steel (cost-effective, partially touch-safe) options, ensuring suitability for different operational environments.
By combining these components, the CRMS provides a robust, adaptable, and maintenance-friendly solution that enhances safety, efficiency, and longevity across rail and infrastructure projects.
