Using high quality grade steel with electro-galvanised,
pre-hot dip galvanised or post hot dip galvanising ensure G24 0.4mm G18 1 - 1.2mm
the Ega cable truckings, trays and ladders meet the high
G22 0.6mm G16 1.6mm
standard requirements of the relevant specifications against
corrosion and mechanical strength. For products that are G20 0.8mm G14 2.0mm
powder coated, high grade polyester powder coating with
minimum 45 micron thickness ensure excellent protection
against chemical corrosion as well as adding aesthetic and COLOUR & finishes for material

MK Ega range of steel cable support systems are tested and BLU - Blue GRN - Green
surpasses the stringent requirements of salt-spray test. This RED - Red BLK - Black
guarantees our products will withstand the high humidity in
HDG - Hot-Dip Galvanised
tropical weather conditions.

All MK Ega products are designed with very low earthing

resistance continuity bonding. The electrical continuity tests
were conducted by the relevant test authorities and surpassed
the latest specifications requirement.

Several types of fastenings for trunking covers are available
