This can be particularly useful for larger events whereby three channels may not be enough for the cable runs applicable. A 6-degree ramp can also be connected to allow wheelchairs or vehicles to cross without issue.
The cable crossover has three channels, with the centre channel of 45 x 50mm is flanked by two channels measuring 52 x 49mm. A half-length version is available as 86900250, and is particularly useful when creating a brick-style layout for strength. Maximum load is approximately 5.0 tonnes per 20cm sq. Adapters are available to ensure compatibility with Defender 3 series crossover - when using in lengthways layout.
