UV RESISTANT
INSULATING

Ellis Hercules Heavy Duty Non-Metallic Cable Hanger is a robust GRP cable hanger system manufactured from UL listed heavy duty glass reinforced polymer for long-term cable support in demanding indoor and outdoor environments. Designed to deliver strong mechanical performance with excellent dielectric properties, Hercules provides an insulating cable hanger solution that does not require earth bonding or grounding.

The non-metallic hanger system is UV resistant, will not rust or corrode, and offers flexible installation through a modular backplate and hanger arrangement. Backplates can be installed first and linked in tandem to achieve the required height, while hangers slot into place later as needed, with a keeper included with every hanger to lock the system securely.

Heavy Duty GRP Cable Hanger for Outdoor, Utility & Infrastructure Cable Support

The Ellis Hercules range is a heavy duty non-metallic cable hanger system developed for reliable cable support where corrosion resistance, dielectric performance and installation flexibility are critical. Manufactured from glass reinforced polymer (GRP), the system is suited to long-term installations in environments exposed to moisture, outdoor weathering and sunlight.

Insulating Cable Hanger System

Unlike metallic alternatives, the Hercules hanger offers excellent dielectric properties, making it an insulating cable hanger that does not require earth bonding or grounding. This makes it particularly suitable for installations where electrical isolation, reduced maintenance and corrosion-free performance are important design considerations.

Flexible Backplate & Hanger Configuration

Hercules is designed as a modular cable hanger system with multiple hanger sizes and dedicated backplates. Backplates can be installed in tandem and slot into each other to achieve the required height, while the hangers slot into the backplate so the backplate can be installed first and the hangers added later as required. A keeper is included with every hanger to lock the hanger securely in place.

  • Rated load and deflection data is measured 1 inch from the end of the hanger.

Hanger Range

Part No. Description Width (W) Height (H) Weight (kg) Load Rating
H-H06-UV 6″ Hanger 6″ (165mm) 5.6″ (143mm) 0.45 450lb (1,780N)
H-H10-UV 10″ Hanger 10″ (254mm) 5.7″ (145mm) 0.6 400lb (1,780N)
H-H14-UV 14″ Hanger 14″ (360mm) 6.7″ (170mm) 0.9 350lb (1,557N)
H-H20-UV 20″ Hanger 20″ (521mm) 9.8″ (251mm) 1.5 250lb (1,112N)
H-H25-UV 25″ Hanger 25″ (635mm) 10.8″ (274mm) 1.9 250lb (1,112N)
  • Deflection values are listed where stated in the datasheet and full test results can be supplied on request.
  • Not all hangers have a published deflection value in the current datasheet.

Backplates & Fixing Requirements

Part No. Description Height (H) Weight (kg) Fixings Required
H-BP12-UV 12″ Backplate 12″ (305mm) 0.6 2 x M12 or 2 x 1/2″
H-BP28-UV 28″ Backplate 28″ (711mm) 1.3 4 x M12 or 2 x 1/2″
H-BP36-UV 36″ Backplate 36″ (914mm) 1.7 5 x M12 or 2 x 1/2″

The backplates are designed so they can be installed in tandem and slot into each other to achieve the required backplate height. This modular approach enables the installer to fix the backplate first and then add the hangers later as the installation progresses.

Hercules Non-Metallic Cable Hanger – Additional Information

The Ellis Hercules cable hanger has been developed as a practical alternative to metallic cable support systems where corrosion resistance, insulation performance and modularity are important. Because the hanger is manufactured from glass reinforced polymer, it combines structural strength with the benefits of a non-metallic cable hanger, making it suitable for environments where rust, corrosion and long-term weathering can affect conventional systems.

The system’s modular design supports installation flexibility. By allowing the backplate to be installed first and the hangers to be added later, installers can stage the work more efficiently and configure multiple hanger combinations to suit the cable route. The backplates can also be installed in tandem to achieve the required height, which is particularly useful where cable support layouts need to be adapted on site.

6″, 10″, 14″, 20″ and 25″ hangers available

12″, 28″ and 36″ backplates available

Fixings required vary by backplate size
