Cable Ramps: Features and Applications of Cable Protectors

Cable ramps are essential for protecting and organising electrical cables, fire hoses, wiring systems and other types of cabling in public or industrial spaces. Whether it’s a music festival, outdoor event, warehouse floor or trade fair, cable protectors ensure both safety and functionality in areas where multiple cables cross pedestrian paths or vehicle access routes.

They are a reliable solution wherever scattered cables obstruct smooth movement or create tripping hazards—particularly at public events, outdoor exhibitions, live concerts and inside commercial buildings.

Heavy-Duty Cable Ramps – Discover Our Cable Protection Systems

At POWER Rubber, we offer durable cable ramps made from high-quality materials that provide long-lasting protection for your wiring. These cable protection systems are ideal for construction sites, broadcast vehicles, garages, industrial floors and roadworks.

Without proper cable management, exposed wires can pose serious risks: from tripping hazards for pedestrians to damage caused by vehicle traffic. Our cable protectors help prevent accidents while extending the lifespan of your equipment.

Key Benefits of Our Cable Protectors

Exceptional Load Resistance

Our cable protectors are built to withstand heavy foot and vehicle traffic. For example, our two-channel cable ramps (with 95 x 90 mm channels) can handle loads of up to 40 tonnes. This level of durability is especially useful on construction sites or in areas where machinery frequently moves back and forth.

Anti-Slip Surface for Improved Safety

Each cable ramp is designed with a non-slip surface to provide excellent grip—even in wet conditions. This helps reduce the risk of slipping or falling and improves mobility for wheelchair users and others with movement aids. Some models also include pictograms for improved visibility.

High Weather Resistance

Made from high-grade PVC, our cable protectors are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They are resistant to moisture, UV rays and extreme temperatures—making them perfect for UK weather conditions.

Easy, Tool-Free Installation

We offer multi-channel cable ramps (1 to 5 channels) that require no anchoring and can be installed and removed quickly and easily. This makes them ideal for temporary setups. The open channel design also allows hoses and cables to pass through pedestrian and vehicle routes effortlessly.

Enhanced Safety at Events and Workplaces

Cable ramps are widely used in shopping centres, exhibition halls, sports venues, roadside shops, automotive workshops, and during public gatherings.

Top benefits of using cable protectors:

• Protect against electrical hazards and trip risks

• Reduce workplace and event-related injuries

• Extend the life of cables by shielding them from vehicles and dirt

• Prevent dust and debris build-up

• Act as traffic-calming speed bumps to slow down vehicles

Designed to keep cables in good condition, our ramps offer robust mechanical and environmental protection while improving overall site safety.

Cable Ramp Connection Systems

Our range includes cable protectors with the following connection options:

Dovetail Joints

Our ramps feature a dovetail locking system that allows you to create custom lengths and layouts with strong, stable joints. Perfect for uneven terrain, outdoor use, or soft surfaces where bolting isn't feasible.

Connector Pieces

Connector-based ramps are ideal for high-traffic areas, such as lorry or coach access zones. They allow for slight movement between sections, reducing stress on joints and prolonging product life.

Standalone Cable Covers

We also offer cable covers that don’t require connectors—ideal for smaller or simpler applications where flexibility and fast deployment are essential.

Built-In Safety Features

Special surface grooves increase grip by raising the friction coefficient, improving slip resistance. Reflective elements also enhance visibility in low-light conditions. These features are especially useful for broadcasting crews and camera operators at live events.

Made from Durable Thermoplastic Materials

Our cable ramps are manufactured from tough thermoplastics that can withstand extreme weight—perfect for routing cabling across roads or construction sites. They are robust enough for use with HGVs, buses, and coaches.

Fire and Emergency Services Use

Emergency response teams, including fire brigades, use portable cable ramps to quickly secure rubber hoses and other equipment in active traffic environments. This prevents damage during routine operations involving both light and heavy vehicles.
