Speedway Cross Braced Cable Ladder
speedway cross braced cable ladder

The Speedway cross-braced ladder system is specifically
designed to be edge-mounted. This method of installation
Speedway Cross Braced Ladder SL/XB
preserves space and has the advantage of allowing cables
to be secured to both sides of the cable ladder using the
Speedway J-clips or standard cable cleats.
The cross-braced ladder features diagonal stiffening rods
which significantly increase the overall strength of the cable
ladder, allowing comparatively long spans to be bridged
with relative ease.
The Speedway cross-braced ladder coupling system
comprises of two standard couplers and two threaded cross-
bracing rods which need to be fitted at each connection
between adjacent lengths of Speedway cross-braced cable
ladder.
Standard Speedway cable ladder fittings and couplers
are used at each horizontal & vertical change in direction
as these require specific support arrangements – refer to
‘Technical Data’ for further details.

The Speedway cross-braced ladder is available in SW4, SW5,
& SW6 versions with a standard length of 3m and widths of
150mm to 900mm.

Speedway Flat Elbows
Speedway flat elbows (FE) are designed to create fixed angular

coplanar connections between horizontal cable runs (cable
ladder installed in horizontal plane) and between vertical cable
runs (cable ladder installed in vertical plane).
Speedway flat elbows are available in widths from 150mm to
1050mm as standard.
Speedway flat elbows are available with angles of 30°, 45°, 60° &
90° as standard.
Speedway 30° Flat Elbow
Speedway flat elbows are available with standard radii of
300mm, 450mm, 600mm, 750mm, 900mm, 1050mm & 1200mm.
300mm radius flat elbows are stocked as standard and are
supplied unless otherwise specified.
The radius of the Speedway flat elbow is measured relative
to the rung position. The width of the Speedway flat elbow is
measured along the length of the rung. These measurements
ensure that the Speedway flat elbow has an exact width and
radius to match the Speedway straight ladder and other
Speedway fittings. Speedway 45° Flat Elbow
The Speedway flat elbow is manufactured with a repeatable and

Each radiused side wall has a 75mm straight section at each
end to facilitate connection to Speedway straight ladder and

Speedway Inside & Outside Risers
Speedway inside risers (IR) and outside risers (OR) are designed
to create fixed angular non-coplanar connections between cable Speedway 30° Inside Riser
(SW5/IR30/300/300 shown)
runs and can be used in both vertical and horizontal orientations.
Speedway inside risers (or vertical inside bends) create internal
speedway inside & outside risers
changes in direction; outside risers (or vertical outside bends)

create external changes in direction.
Speedway 45° Outside Riser
Speedway risers are available in widths from 150mm to 1050mm (SW5/OR45/300/600 shown)
as standard. Speedway risers are available with angles of 30°,
45°, 60°, & 90° and in standard radii of 300mm, 450mm, 600mm,
750mm, 900mm, 1050mm, & 1200mm. 300mm radius inside and
outside risers are stocked as standard and are supplied unless
otherwise specified.
For both inside and outside risers, the radius is measured to the
inside flange of the riser fitting. The width of the Speedway riser
is measured along the length of the rung. These measurements Speedway 60° Outside Riser
ensure that the Speedway riser has an exact width and radius (SW5/OR60/300/300 shown)
to match the Speedway straight ladder and other Speedway
fittings.
The angle of the Speedway inside and outside riser is measured
relative to the ends of the side wall profile. Sufficient land is
provided to suit the use of the Speedway coupling system. The
unique Speedway profile is maintained along the full length of
the side wall, thereby maximising the width available for cable
containment.

Speedway Articulated Risers
Speedway articulated risers (AR) are designed to create

adjustable angular non-coplanar connections between
Speedway cable runs and can be used in both vertical and
horizontal orientations.
Speedway articulated risers consist of pre-assembled units,
each comprising of end connectors and one or more middle
sections which can be adjusted on site to suit specific installation
requirements.
The articulated riser has a number of advantages over fixed
risers:

very large radii and allow strong support along an

can be used to form a bridge, an ‘S’ bend, or an offset to
suit installation routing problems on site.
the end connectors are vertical adjustable couplers and,
by using the easi-bend slots, can be adjusted on site
to create combined horizontal & vertical offset
connections, or combined riser/tee connections onto the
side wall of a main run.
Speedway articulated risers are available in widths from 150mm
to 1050mm as standard.
Intended to be locked into place after installation, the Speedway
articulated riser is not designed to allow for relative movement
between adjacent cable runs.

Speedway Equal & Unequal Tees
Speedway equal tees (ET) and unequal tees (UET) are designed The rungs in the Speedway tees are spaced to give a maximum
to create perpendicular coplanar connections between linear distance of no more than 465mm between adjacent
horizontal cable runs (ladder installed in horizontal plane) and rungs/rungs on adjacent ladder and fittings. The rungs are
between vertical cable runs (ladder installed in vertical plane). orientated with the open face uppermost to suit the use of
cleats and similar cable restraint devices. This allows compliance
Speedway tees are available in widths from 150mm to 1050mm
with current recommendations for cable restraint, especially

Speedway straight ladder and other Speedway fittings.
Speedway crosses are available in widths from 150mm to
1050mm as standard. Rungs in the Speedway crosses are spaced to give a maximum
linear distance of no more than 465mm between adjacent

Equal crosses, where the branches have identical widths, are

supplied as standard. Short and long adjustable couplers, as
well as abrupt reducers, can be used to convert equal crosses
into unequal crosses. The short and long adjustable couplers
give maximum width reductions of 150mm and 300mm

Speedway Reducers
Speedway reducers are used to create coplanar reductions in

widths between straight ladders and between straight ladder
& fittings of the same ladder type, fulfilling the same role as
abrupt reducers and short/long adjustable couplers but using a
purpose-made fitting capable of self-support as part of a cable
run.
Speedway straight reducers (RS reducer straight) are used to
create a concentric reduction, having an equal width reduction
along both sides. Left hand reducers (RL reducer left) and
right hand reducers (RR reducer right) are used to create offset
reductions to suit particular installation requirements. Left hand
reducers have the width reduction on the left when viewed Speedway SW4 Straight Reducer (SW4/RS)
from the primary width. Right hand reducers have the width Shown connecting two straight ladders
reduction on the right when viewed from the primary width.
Speedway reducers are available for widths of 150mm to
1050mm as standard. The widths of the Speedway reducer
are measured along the length of the two rungs. These
measurements ensure that the Speedway reducer has an
exact width to match the Speedway straight ladder and other
Speedway fittings. The Speedway reducer has an overall length
of 500mm irrespective of ladder type and width reduction.
Each reducer has two rungs as standard. The reducer rungs
are orientated with the open face uppermost to suit the use of
cleats and similar cable restraint devices. This allows compliance

with current recommendations for cable restraint, especially

where cables are used which have a high potential fault current

Heavy Duty Trapeze Support Channel (THC)

Speedway Heavy Duty Trapeze Support Channel
The Speedway heavy duty trapeze support channel (THC) (SW/THC)
provides a versatile means of installing Speedway cable ladder
using trapeze support arrangements.
Based on slotted back-to-back deep channel (strut type) to BS
6946, the Speedway heavy duty trapeze support channel has
26 x 13 slots at 50mm pitch and is suited to either M10 or M12
threaded rod hangers. The slotted deep back-to-back channel is
supplied to an exact size to suit each width of Speedway cable
ladder and has the slots arranged uniformly along the length of
the channel to simplify installation.
The continuous open slot on the heavy duty trapeze support 13
channel facilitates the use of either Speedway external flange
clamps (SW/EFC), adaptable fixing brackets (SW/AFB) or hold
down brackets (SW/HDB) for securing the Speedway cable L
ladder. Additional equipment can be attached to the underside
of the heavy duty support channel – consult our Design Team
for further details.

Bimetallic corrosion (also referred to as galvanic or electrolytic
corrosion) occurs when two dissimilar metals are in close contact
with an electrolyte. An electrolyte is a medium which allows the
technical data
flow of an electrical current. The presence of water as moisture
can act as an electrolyte. The rate of corrosion depends upon the
differences in electrical potential of the metals as defined by the Insulating assembly
Galvanic Series (see chart below), the strength of the electrolyte, for hold down bracket (HDB)
the period for which the electrolyte is present, and the geometry
of the connection between the dissimilar metals. When corrosion
occurs it is the anodic metal (which is higher in the galvanic
series) that will corrode in preference to the cathodic metal
(which is lower in the galvanic series).
If corrosion takes place between two dissimilar metals, the metal

which is higher in the galvanic series will corrode in preference
to the metal which is lower in the galvanic series.
