LAUNCH OF CABLEMATE®
1 November 2010
ACO Polycrete Pty Ltd, Australia's foremost manufacturer of trafficable cable pits and continuous surface ducting systems, has launched a new technical handbook and product catalogue for ACO CABLEMATE®
ACO Polycrete Pty Ltd, Australia’s foremost manufacturer of trafficable cable pits and continuous surface ducting systems, has launched a new technical handbook for the electrical, communications and construction industries. The guide is also a product catalogue for ACO CABLEMATE® and features a new range of Australian made:
– Rigid, lightweight, strong Polycrete® (polymer concrete) pits;
– Flexible, light duty, moulded plastic pits;
– Continuous linear surface ducting systems;
– Lids and weather resistant access covers;
– Other associated products and accessories.
The new 88 page, A4 size, full colour handbook addresses many generic issues to guide specifiers and installers in selecting the correct enclosure for the right application for a long trouble-free working life. Cable runs often traverse through different urban environments therefore specific consideration needs to be given to each individual enclosure. An enclosure’s size, location, safety, security, installation and unique customer requirements are all explored in the handbook alongside relevant national regulatory codes and standard industry practices.
ACO has upgraded its product range with all these factors considered to meet the current industry requirements and those of various authorities and clients. The guide gives specifiers and builders clear information on:
– Product solutions for all load classes;
– The industry’s largest range of lids and access covers including ACO’s new universal PowerLok® lid and other OH&S friendly lids;
– Purpose designed pit bodies manufactured from materials with excellent electrical insulation;
– A full range of site accessories to ensure trouble free installation;
– Services by an established technical advisory department to ensure correct product selection and advice on installation.
The PowerLok® pit locking system*

- Spring loaded access hatch complete with catch
- Lids not exceeding 25kg (lifting weight)
- Red indicator to save workers from bending over to
check whether lids are locked during routine inspections
• For greater public safety

does not become live in the event of a fault

for a specified clearance above the cables
