surface wiring inside container?

[Ross1]

Evening all,

I am pricing a job to run conduit for all accessories within a 20 foot container. the container is not getting internal lining.
As far as I know, containers are single skin. what fixings have you guy used in the past.

thanks

Actually, someone at Elex last week was showing magnetic cable management accessories. I wasn't expecting to use them myself, so I didn't take any details, but even the small ones couldn't be pulled off by hand.

This link is to something similar, but there were much bigger and stronger ones available:

Edit: I think it was this lot at Sandown:

So do they all fall apart when the magnetic field rapidly expands around the cable under fault conditions?

The other issue is these magnets are extremely strong to forces in one plain but can be moved across the surface with significantly less force so not really suitable as a full fixing solution, their are plenty of bonding agents that will adhere to any surface will good environmental resiliance so that would be my choice of fixing.

Yes, I'm not saying that these magnetic cable management things are necessarily right here, but worth bearing in mind. Might get you out of a tight spot on a future job.
