Built for Installers. Designed for Speed.
A pre-formed cable tie engineered specifically for cable trays – quicker to hook, easier to pull through, and faster to fasten.
Straight cable ties were never designed for threading through cable tray slots. Bendy Cable Ties take the shape installers already bend by hand and build it into the product, so every tie feeds through one slot and out the next in seconds – saving time on every run and reducing labour costs across a project.
A Small Task That Wastes a Lot of Time
For decades, installers have had to bend straight cable ties by hand to hook through the vertical slots on perforated trays. It’s fiddly, repetitive work that slows down every project.
It doesn’t sound like much, but across a full install the extra seconds on every tie quickly add up to hours in labour.
Pre-Formed Ties, Purpose-Built for Trays
The Bendy is a cable tie shaped the way installers already bend it — but manufactured precisely, at scale, with a consistent, optimised bend that naturally feeds through one tray slot and out the next.
No more hand-bending every tie. No more fighting the tray. Just hook, pull, fasten, done.
Innovation Born on Site
The idea started with Dave, a satellite-communications installer who’d spent years running cables on trays across commercial and industrial sites. He knew the job inside out — and he knew how much time was wasted wrestling straight ties through tray slots.
One day, he bent a cable tie into the shape he wished already existed. It fed through the tray more easily and secured the cables faster. That simple tweak sparked a bigger question:
Why wasn’t there a cable tie designed specifically for cable trays?
From Job-Site Hack to Patented Product
Turning that moment of insight into a real product took time. We collaborated with installers, engineers, manufacturers and materials specialists to refine the design and engineering.
Dozens of shapes and bend angles tested to find the sweet spot for hooking and feeding through tray slots.
Evaluating nylon grades, tensile strength and real-world performance to ensure a pro-grade tie that stands up on site.
Trials across electrical, comms and construction projects to refine ease of use, speed, and consistency.
Patent-Protected, Trade-Tested Innovation
The Bendy is patented in the UK and USA (GB2591109 and US 12,264,003), recognising its unique design and functional advantage on cable trays.
Before launch, Bendys were trialled by installers across electrical contracting, data and telecoms, satellite and broadcast, construction and industrial maintenance. Feedback was clear: faster, easier, more consistent than bending ties by hand.
