OBO BETTERMANN PRESENTS OBO-MAGICFIX®: FEWER SCREWS, MORE SPEED IN CABLE TRAY INSTALLATION
OBO Bettermann is constantly developing solutions that bring greater simplicity to industrial installation work, combining practical design with the flexibility required in demanding applications. OBO-MagicFix® is part of this approach, offering a different way to think about cable tray mounting and opening up new possibilities for faster, more adaptable installations.
In industrial plants, production lines and automation systems, cable routes are the backbone of every project. When deadlines are tight and site teams are lean, the way cable support systems are installed makes a real difference to both timing and quality. OBO Bettermann answers this challenge with OBO- MagicFix®, a click-based mounting system that cuts assembly down to a few simple steps, with virtually no screws and no tools.
The System Behind the Speed
At the heart of OBO-MagicFix® is the MagicFix support rail, featuring the patented Magic fastening system. Its multifunctional, reversible profile allows mesh cable trays, cable trays and cable ladders to be fixed and suspended in a variety of ways. The rail covers all standard widths from 50 to 600 mm, including the intermediate 150 mm size. Mesh cable trays simply snap into the support rail, with no additional mounting material.
The MagicFix suspension strips complete the system. Once fixed to the ceiling with anchors suited to the substrate and expected load, they receive the support rail, which is hooked in and adjusted in height without tools. Protective caps cover sharp edges on mounting tabs and strip ends, for clean and safe results.
Practical Benefits on Site
Every step removed on site is time and effort saved. In automation-driven plants, where lines are modified, extended or reconfigured regularly, a mounting system that is quick to install and easy to adapt also supports faster commissioning and less downtime. OBO-MagicFix® is designed to speed up work where it matters most:
•Up to 70% time saving during assembly
•Virtually screw- and tool-free installation
•Fewer individual parts to handle on site
•Flexible height adjustment
•Single- and multi-layer installations
•Traditional screw-based assembly remains an option
Built for Industrial Installations
Industrial environments rarely offer identical conditions from one area to the next. For this reason, OBO-MagicFix® supports both modular suspension with strips and conventional suspension with threaded rods, in suspended and centre- suspended layouts. Recesses in the strips allow different heights, so multi-tiered routes can be created without removing pre-assembled rungs, while mesh and cable trays can also be installed with spacing between them.
The system is particularly well suited to lightweight OBO installation systems such as GR-Magic, RKS-Magic and LG 60, which are widely used for power, data and control cabling in production halls, machinery areas and automated plants. By combining the speed of modern installation techniques with the safety and load-bearing capacity of traditional bolting methods, OBO-MagicFix® helps installers, panel builders and plant engineers meet demanding schedules without compromising quality. With fewer screws, fewer tools and less assembly work, OBO-MagicFix® turns cable tray mounting into a fast, clean and reliable process. Simple to install, flexible in use and ready for tight schedules, it is a smart choice for modern industrial wiring.
OBO Bettermann develops and manufactures solutions for electrical infrastructure, focusing on safe, efficient and practical installation systems.
