CABLE TRAY LOAD CALCULATION GUIDE

Calculation of Cable Tray Support and Hanger Types

Calculation of Cable Tray Support and Hanger Types

This step‑by‑step approach helps you determine width, depth, support spacing, and allowable load with confidence. OBO BETTERMANN has offered prod-ucts and solutions for electrical instal-lation for over 100 years. With our many years of experience, we are one of the leading manufacturers in this field. All illustrations, descriptions and technical information included in this document are provided as indications and can cable trays are equivalent. Cable tray support quantity can be calculated using a simple formula: Support Quantity = Total Length ÷ Support Spacing + 1 20 ÷ 2 + 1 = 11 supports In a typical project, a 20-meter cable tray with 2-meter spacing requires 11 supports. 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.
