Supports shall be constructed from 12 gauge steel formed shape channel members 15/8" x 15/8" with necessary hardware such as Trapeze Support Kits (9G-55XX-22SH) as manufactured by Eaton [or engineer approved equal]. Cable Support Systems are well designed to provide necessary support for cable trays, cable ladders and trunkings. Cable supports are manufactured according to common standards from high quality raw materials. T&B channel tray systems are fabricated from a corrosion-resistant metal (low-carbon steel, stainless steel or an aluminum alloy) or from a metal with a corrosion-resistant finish (zinc or epoxy). The choice of material for any particular installation depends on the installation environment. When developing our cable support OBO can offer reliable solutions for systems, three attributes are at the routing and fastening cables securely core of what we do: efficiency, resil- for each of these installation challeng-ience and safety.

This tool estimates tray self-weight from material density and an approximate metal volume. For solid and perforated trays, it treats the tray as a formed sheet: Developed sheet width per meter: Dev = W + 2H + 2R Metal volume per meter: V = Dev × t × 1 × (1 − Open%). The Cable Tray Weight Calculation involves considering various factors, including tray specifications, material, and thickness. In this guide, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process for calculating cable tray weight, while providing examples for both channel trays and ladder trays. 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. T&B channel tray systems are fabricated from a corrosion-resistant metal (low-carbon steel, stainless steel or an aluminum alloy) or from a metal with a corrosion-resistant finish (zinc or epoxy).

Angle steel supports are a more traditional and reliable choice for electrical cable tray support. The proper selection between the two depends on factors such as load-bearing capacity, installation environment, and the ease of future adjustments. 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. B-Line series KwikRail cable tray systems feature rungs with patented fastener holes, allowing installers to easily remove, reposition or add rungs. Pre-punched holes on the I-beam side rails allow for simple attachment of accessories without drilling.
