CHECKERS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CHECKERS from 3G Electric.
What materials are CHECKERS cable ramps made from?
CHECKERS cable ramps are manufactured from polyurethane, a durable elastomer that provides high impact resistance and flexibility. This material is chosen for its ability to withstand repeated vehicular traffic, including forklifts and trucks, without cracking or deforming. Polyurethane also offers resistance to oils, chemicals, and UV exposure, making the ramps suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The ramps are designed to maintain structural integrity under load while remaining lightweight enough for manual handling.
What channel configurations are available for CHECKERS hinged-cover cable ramps?
CHECKERS hinged-cover cable ramps are available in 3-channel and 5-channel configurations. The 3-channel models accommodate maximum cable diameters up to 2 1/4 inches, while the 5-channel models handle cables up to 1 13/40 inches (approximately 1.325 inches) in diameter. Channel widths and depths vary by model, allowing selection based on the number and size of cables or hoses to be protected. Straight sections, 45-degree left and right turn components, and end caps are available to create complete routing systems.
Can CHECKERS cable ramps be used outdoors?
Yes, CHECKERS cable ramps are suitable for outdoor use. The polyurethane construction provides resistance to UV radiation, moisture, and temperature variations. The Hi-Viz Green and orange color options improve visibility in outdoor environments, reducing trip hazards. The ramps are designed to remain stable on various surfaces, including asphalt, concrete, and gravel, and can be used for temporary or semi-permanent installations at construction sites, outdoor events, or industrial yards.
How do I connect multiple CHECKERS cable ramp sections?
CHECKERS cable ramp sections are designed with interlocking features that allow straight sections, turn components, and end caps to be connected without tools. The modular system uses tongue-and-groove or pin-and-socket connections, depending on the model, to create continuous pathways. End caps are available to terminate runs and provide a smooth transition. This design enables quick assembly and reconfiguration as cable routing needs change.
What is the weight capacity of CHECKERS cable ramps?
CHECKERS cable ramps are engineered to support vehicular traffic, including forklifts and light trucks, but specific weight ratings vary by model. The polyurethane material distributes load across the ramp surface, and the hinged-cover design maintains structural integrity under compression. For precise load limits, refer to the manufacturer's specifications for each model. In general, these ramps are suitable for industrial environments where equipment weight does not exceed the ramp's rated capacity.
Are CHECKERS cable ramps available with different color options?
Yes, CHECKERS cable ramps are offered in several color combinations to enhance visibility and match site requirements. Common options include Hi-Viz Green lids with black bases, black/orange combinations, and orange/yellow variants. The high-visibility colors are intended to alert personnel to the presence of cable runs, reducing the risk of tripping or equipment damage. Color choices may vary by model and channel configuration.
