Quick and easy, side-loaded suspension of MEP services

 

Our Fast Trak – Side Load is a prefabricated, fire-rated bracketry system that simplifies the installation of electrical containment, ductwork, and pipework in site environments where space is at a premium. Designed with side cable access in mind, it’s ideal for retrofit or restricted-access projects where traditional trapeze-style installations just aren’t possible.

The system features pre-cut vertical tracks which interact with a slide-in side bracket, allowing quick positioning without tools or hot works. The brackets simply click into place at the required height, offering a secure and adjustable solution that dramatically cuts down installation time by offering easy access to loaded cables.

With fewer components, no cutting on-site, and clean, consistent installations every time, Fast Trak – Side Load reduces labor costs and waste while improving safety and compliance. It’s the smart, professional alternative to traditional strut and channel, helping you deliver projects on time and on budget.

Engineered to support a wide range of MEP services, its versatility makes it suitable for even the most difficult-to-navigate site environments.
