When planning the vertical spacing between floor-mounted cable trays, the minimum distance should be 150 millimeters. This clearance prevents potential obstruction and ensures the system's structural integrity. This publication is intended as a practical guide for the proper and safe* installation of cable ladder systems, cable tray systems, channel support systems and associated supports. Cable tray (or cable ladder) systems are a popular alternative to electrical conduit systems, as they have an outstanding record for dependable service, design flexibility and cost savings in commercial and industrial applications. In practice, cable tray dimensions are a system of interrelated measurements —width, depth, length, and material thickness—that directly affect cable fill compliance, heat dissipation, structural loading, and long-term expandability.
