Gortrac®

MA Series Cable Carrier


The MA series is an open-link metal cable carrier with a 2.00” (50,8 mm) overall link height and 5 widths to choose from (2.25″ to 7.00″ / 57,15 to 177,8 mm). Designed for greater unsupported spans, MA is lightweight and strong – ideal for aerial work platforms and truck-mounted booms.

The MA series utilizes Gortrac® extrude technology, allowing for greater unsupported spans compared to similar carriers. The efficient, 3-sided metal construction provides cost-effective cable and hose protection while maintaining a lightweight design. The self-cleaning peanut slot design minimizes debris build-up, supporting smooth operation over time.

Applications: Aerial work platforms, truck-mounted booms, horizontal drilling machines, and more.


Weight Load Chart

  • Find the weight you want to put in the cable carrier on the left side of the chart (additional load)
  • Then follow that row across until you get to the maximum unsupported length line.
  • Unsupported length (a.k.a. unsupported span) is the maximum distance possible between the moving end mounting bracket and the topmost link of the curve.
  • For a standard cable carrier mounted with the fixed end at center of travel, this length is 1/2 the system travel + 1 link pitch.
  • This length can be greater or shorter if the fixed end is offset mounted from the center of travel.
  • Using the load chart below, for example: an additional load of 4 lbs./ft (1,81 kg.) can have a maximum unsupported span of 10 ft. (3,04 meters)
