In 2021, TechLine Mfg. released Snap Track V2, which offers better cable management with slotted holes for easier cable dropouts. This change in the hole pattern also achieves a lighter weight channel while maintaining similar impressive performance on support spans. Snap Track V2, as with classic Snap Track, is produced using extruded marine grade aluminum 6063-T6. Snap Track V2 is totally interchangeable with classic Snap Track.

Snap Track Cable Tray Background
Snap Track was developed as a limited-width cable tray system to replace wire basket tray, conduit, and generic tray. It is stronger, provides better cable protection, and reduces installation costs through its push-pin assembly and reduced support requirements, making it a superior industrial cable tray.
Snap Track is
- An innovative channel tray system providing cable protection in a wide range of industries and applications
- A unique limited-width ventilated bottom channel tray, to be used as an alternative to conduit, wire basket, or generic tray. Snap Track transitions control, power, data, and instrument cables from ladder try to point of use, i.e., instruments and motor control stations.
Commonly accepted benefits of running channel tray systems in lieu of conduit include
- Reduced total installed costs
- Cable accessibility
- Ease of future modifications
- Labor and material savings
UL Classification for Industrial Cable Trays
The Snap Track system has been tested and is classified by Underwriters Laboratories for both UL and CUL (File Number E249472). Electrical continuity is achieved through our unique, extruded, inward C formation and snug-fitting splice. A bonding jumper is required ONLY for adjustable fittings, expansion splice plates, and beginning/end of tray runs, as to provide continuity. All other fittings used with push pins typically require no bonding jumpers. Click here for more information on grounding and bonding.
