In large installations — whether machine rooms, control panels, data centres or infrastructure builds — the parts that carry the cable often matter just as much as what the cable carries. GEWISS cable bearing systems deliver the structural and routing framework that supports wire bundles, trays, conduits and equipment interfaces. From practical experience, properly designed support systems reduce cable sag, vibration damage, maintenance time and future rewiring effort.
When you’re running multiple cable runs horizontally or vertically, you’ll use GEWISS cable support systems and GEWISS wiring management systems. These are the trays, ladder racks, support spans and brackets that hold cable bundles in place. Key attributes include load rating, span length, corrosion resistance (galvanised or coated steel), finish, and tray width. From field work: if you ignore the support layout, cables may droop, interfere with airflow in racks, or hinder maintenance access.
In many installations the support isn’t just the cable tray — you need GEWISS installation support structures such as wall and ceiling brackets that anchor trays, conduits, or cable runs to the building structure. These brackets must be designed for dynamic loads (vibration, movement), clearance from surfaces (to avoid corrosion/humidity), and future access. When panel‑builders plan routing in advance, these support structures define how cleanly you can integrate cable bearing systems into the rest of the installation.
For internal plant layouts or machine‑line wiring, GEWISS mounting rails and trays play a key role. A mounting rail gives you a fixed backbone for accessories, supports, clamps and cable runs. Cable trays distribute feeders, control cables or instrumentation wires systematically. With GEWISS you get modularity: rails and trays built to standard widths, defined load‑ratings and compatible accessories. That means when you expand the system later, you don’t rebuild the support structure — you simply extend or add modules.
The support structure is only as good as its fixings. That’s where GEWISS fixing accessories come in — clamps, anchors, screws, mounting plates and finishing components that hold the trays, rails or brackets securely. Procurement teams often check: material (stainless vs zinc‑plated steel), corrosion rating, vibration resistance, load rating, and whether the accessory is compatible with the rail/tray system. Standardising on GEWISS across support, tray, rail and fixing means easier planning, consistent spare‑parts and clean documentation.
When you’re planning for large‑scale installations of GEWISS cable bearing systems, the buying logic often includes:
From experience: the difference between a well‑supported cable run and a haphazard one shows up in maintenance time, cable failure rates, and service access difficulty.
