AMETEK Factory Automation is proud to offer the Catrac line of cable and hose carriers—engineered specifically for the demanding environments of steel mills and heavy industry. Designed to protect critical cables and hoses, Catrac products provide reliable performance in applications where uptime and durability are essential.

Constructed from high-tensile steel links rated at 80,000 psi, Catrac carriers are built to withstand extreme conditions such as high heat, vibration, slag, and heavy mechanical stress. Available in link heights ranging from 2” to 14”, and a wide array of bending radii and widths, the carriers can be customized to meet the unique needs of diverse industrial applications.

The Mill Duty Catrac line features box beam-style carriers offering maximum strength and stability, with spring-loaded rods that simplify cable access and maintenance.
