What is the Strut Pro Runner?

The Strut Pro Runner is a purpose-built, UK-designed support system for ladder cable trays.
Developed by Direct Channel Support Systems under our in-house Strut Pro brand, it delivers a smarter, faster, and more cost-effective alternative to conventional ladder racks.

Unlike generic brackets or heavy welded frames, Strut Pro Runner products are engineered in the UK with real contractors in mind. As a result, they offer modular sizes, strong galvanised steel, and rapid installation without specialist tools. In addition, the system reduces site labour while ensuring long-term durability.
