Cable Management

How to Choose a Cable Cover for Your Site

A straightforward guide to choosing cable covers for pedestrian areas, vehicle traffic and temporary site cable runs.

Portable cable cover for protecting site cables and hoses

Cable covers help protect cables and hoses while reducing trip hazards in temporary work areas, events, workshops and construction sites. The key is matching the cover to the cable diameter, traffic type and route.

Know what will cross the cover

Start with the number and diameter of cables or hoses, then consider whether the route is pedestrian-only, used by light vehicles or exposed to heavier traffic.

Plan the run

  • Keep cable routes as straight and visible as practical.
  • Use compatible end pieces, modules or bends where required.
  • Avoid pinch points and areas where the cover could shift.
  • Inspect the setup throughout the job.
