Elasco Cable Protectors

From pit mines to church festivals, tough and durable Elasco cable protectors prevent damage to your important cables. Designed for light-duty to extreme-duty applications, they're made right here in the United States with American materials and labor.

What sets Elasco Cable Ramps apart?

Polyurethane Construction for Better Strength, Durability and Longevity

Compared to rubber and plastic cable ramps, the high-quality polyurethane construction will not rot, degrade, or crack over time, and can withstand the elements with superior resistance to grease, oil, and other chemical substances. Unlike certain plastics that are prone to breaking under high impact, the polyurethane bases and lids hold up under high impact while retaining elasticity and strength.

Compared to metal, polyurethane is lighter, less noisy, and will not rust or corrode. It typically outlasts and outperforms metal by three times longer.

Open-Cast Molding

The open-cast molding process means Elasco polyurethane cable ramps are stronger than typical injection-molded polymers. The hot-cast process provides a long, slow cure and post-cure that enhances the cross-linking of the polyurethane molecule.

Gridded surface traction

The distinct gridded look of Elasco's ramps stands out from the usual diamond plate design that you most frequently see on cable protection solutions. The grids allow moisture and mud to settle and fall into the grooves for better traction for tires or work boots.

Reinforced lid hinge

Unlike some cable ramps that feature grooved false hinges or pivot points for the lid, each cable ramp lid is connected to the base by a reinforced fiberglass rod that runs the full length of the hinge to make it easier to lift open or close, and provide additional strength use after use.

Patented glow-in-the-dark technology

This unique embedded glow strip helps increase cable ramp visibility in dark or low-light conditions, and is available as an option on at least one piece within each Elasco line. The embedded glow strips only require 10 seconds of UV exposure to fully charge, and will glow throughout the night with no maintenance, batteries or electricity required.

In most true dark environments humans can see 3.7 milli-candellas once our eyes have adjusted (which takes most people between 15-45 minutes). Under pure darkness, Elasco’s glow material is visible for up to 40 hours once that dark-adaptation has occurred.

Compliance

Elasco cable ramps are compliant with OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and NEC (National Electric Code). They are also compliant with European standards, including both REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances).

For ADA compliance, several models are available with ADA-compliant extended ramps and universal signage (i.e. Elasco MightGuard ADA-Compliant Two-Channel Cable Ramp) that allow you to create an accessible pathway over your cables for visitors or employees with limited mobility.

Custom color options

Good visibility is crucial to a safe work environment, and every work environment is different. If there is an Elasco product that you know will work for your situation but won’t stand out, give us a call at (888) 651-3431 and we would be happy to go over our custom colors options, such as high-visibility neon or alternate base/lid combinations, to ensure that you make the best decision for your jobsite and the safety of your drivers and workers.
