Marco, the UK’s largest manufacturer of Steel Wire Cable Tray, and uPVC Cable Management Company, is committed to supporting customer’s needs, enhancing the installation process through product development and customer support.

This year has seen the launch of a number of new products including the Elite trunking range, a number of accessories and an anti-microbial protection for uPVC trunking. To help users make the most of these latest innovations, Marco’s technical team has provided information related to some of the most commonly asked questions:

Q: Do you have an alternative accessory to the traditional nut and bolt fastening for Steel Wire Cable Tray?

What can you do to help reduce installation time on site?

The Marco Strut Clip offers a fast fix alternative to traditional fixings. The strut clip secures the tray in place with just one turn of a screwdriver, making installation quick, simple and none labour intensive.

Marco Quick Locks remove the need for nut and bolt assembly kits for producing bends on site, instead simply allowing any fixing to be produced by the means of just one clip.

Q: What uPVC trunking products would best suit specification for both refurbishment and new build hospital schemes?

Marco now offers an antimicrobial protection for all of its uPVC product ranges, including the new ELITE Hygieia Range. These trunking systems are used nationwide in environments where the spread of infection must be controlled, such as hospitals, care homes, schools and laboratories.

Marco utilises silver ion technology to create a defence against 99.9% of harmful bacteria growth. This provides built in protection from, and prevents the growth of, bacteria, fungi, mildew and moulds, including MRSA, E-Coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella Pneumoniae and Streptococci.

The design of the product is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also prevents dust from settling on flat surfaces. All fittings have been manufactured without any deep grooves or ridges to eliminate the build up of debris in hard to clean areas.

Q: How do I ensure ROHS compliancy through the specification of products?

Marco’s products are all lead free in their make up and therefore meet ROHS compliancy, giving customers peace of mind when specifying Marco products.

Marco is committed to operating a sustainable business and has recently achieved ISO14001 accreditation, which demonstrates company wide commitment to the environment through various schemes to reduce waste, reuse material and recycle where possible.

All production is UK based reducing the ‘product miles’ and carbon footprint – the company estimate that Marco trays travel almost 400 miles less than the trays of most of its competitors.

‘The Elite range has generated strong interest across the industry and Marco is keen to see its customer benefit from the specification of this modern, aesthetically pleasing and highly functional system’

Steve Davis of Marco Cable Management commented: “We want to be able to communicate with our customers at every level and support them in achieving their requirements through the specification and installation process. This year we have launched a podcast, re-launched the website and launched a new glossy brochure to showcase the Marco range and capability, giving our customers choice in terms of the information platform that suits them best.
