1. Type and Technology As mentioned, different welding techniques necessitate different machinery. For example, a simple MIG welder will generally be less expensive than a high-end TIG or multi-process machine capable of handling various welding tasks. The underlying technology, such as inverter-based systems which are lighter and more energy-efficient, can also impact the price.
2. Quality Assurance Manufacturers are tasked with ensuring that their machines produce trays that adhere to national and international standards. This involves rigorous testing for load-bearing capacities, durability, and resistance to environmental factors like moisture and temperature fluctuations. High-quality cable trays are vital to the safety and functionality of any electrical installation.
