Yes. The FT2X18X10 HD is hot-dip galvanized steel and is recommended for exterior and corrosive applications, so it suits rooftops, parking structures, wash-down areas, and process spaces where an electro-zinc tray would rust out. The hot-dip coating covers cut and formed wire ends far better than plated finishes.

No. Flextray is field-formed: you cut the wire mesh with a bolt cutter and bend the section to make elbows, tees, and vertical offsets, then splice it back together. That is the main reason to choose basket tray over ladder or solid-bottom tray, which need factory fittings for every change of direction. On hot-dip galvanized tray, touch up the cut wire ends with a cold galvanizing compound to keep the corrosion protection intact.

Yes, the FT2X18X10 HD carries CSA certification, which is what specifiers on Canadian projects and many institutional jobs ask for on cable tray submittals.

The part number FT2X18X10 HD is the tray section itself. Couplers, splice washers, hold-down clamps, and the trapeze or wall bracket supports are ordered separately, so count your joints and support points before you place the order.

A 2 inch deep, 18 inch wide basket like the FT2X18X10 HD is the common choice for data, low-voltage, and control cable where you want a wide, shallow single layer that keeps bundles accessible and lets you drop cable in from above. Go deeper when you are carrying heavier power feeders or need more fill than the 35.8 square inches this section gives you.

One 10 foot section weighs 18.9 lb empty, so it is a one-man lift onto the strut. Your support spacing is driven by the cable load on top of that, not the tray weight, so size the trapeze or wall bracket for both.
