2. INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
2.1 Loads
A correctly designed and specified cable tray installation
should take into account the nature and extent of the
loads which will be imposed on the cable tray system.
These loads comprise of dead loads including the selfweight of the cable tray system, the weight of the cables
and secondary equipment attached to the cable tray,
imposed loads which occur during installation of
the cable tray system and during cable pulling operations,
and external loads such as wind, snow & ice.

Coupler located at
1/4 to 1/5 of the span
Allowable Coupler Location
Coupler located at
mid span position
Inappropriate Coupler Location
30 Flat Elbow
For 30 flat elbows, supports should be placed within
150mm of the fitting for widths up to 300mm. For
fittings of width 450mm and above, supports should
be placed within 300mm of the fitting and an intermediate
support should be located radially at 15 across the
centre of the fitting.
60 Flat Elbow
For 60 flat elbows, supports should be placed within
150mm of the fitting for widths up to 300mm. For fittings
of width 450mm and above, supports should be placed
within 300mm of the fitting and an intermediate support
should be located radially at 30 across the centre of
the fitting.

Supports

The following illustrations show the recommended support positions when installing Vantrunk cable tray
fittings. The supports should be fully fixed to provide maximum support for the Vantrunk cable tray fitting.
Accessories
Couplers
Vantrunk cable tray fittings are designed to carry loads comparable to that for the straight cable
tray but will require local support to avoid undue stresses being applied to the fittings.

45 Flat Elbow
For 45 flat elbows, supports should be placed within
150mm of the fitting for widths up to 300mm. For fittings
of width 450mm and above, supports should be placed
within 300mm of the fitting and an intermediate support
should be located radially at 22.5 across the centre
of the fitting.
90 Flat Elbow
For 90 flat elbows, supports should be placed within
150mm of the fitting for widths up to 300mm. For fittings
of width 450mm and above, supports should be placed
within 300mm of the fitting and an intermediate support
should be located radially at 45 across the centre of
the fitting.

The safe working load figures for the Vantrunk cable tray
and support accessories are based on a uniform loading
within the Vantrunk cable tray and on the assumption that
the correct length of support is used in each case.

and adjust as necessary.
12. Fit the second M6 nut onto the fixing assemblies. Lock
the second M6 nut onto the first M6 nut. Check that
the completed fixing assembly remains free to move
within the aligned slots.
13. Tighten the 2nd M6 hex nut onto the 1sr M6 hex nut

To enable the selection of the most appropriate Vantrunk cable tray for a particular
installation it is necessary to consider the loads which must be supported and the
distance between supports (the span). These loads are broadly classed as dead
loads, imposed loads and point loads.
