\nsupport system for cables and raceways. Using cable trays as walkways can cause personal injury and also
\ndamage cable tray and installed cables.
\nPerformances of cable tray systems are dependent on its proper installation, including supports and cables.
\nNeglecting installation and maintenance guidelines may lead to personal injury as well as damage to property.
\nInstallation and maintenance of cable tray systems shall be conducted only by qualified personnel and responsible
\npersons should be trained properly. During installation, the necessary safety practices shall be implemented and
\nprotective equipment such as insulated rubber gloves, hard hat, safety glasses or face shields, dust mask should
\nbe used.
\nCable management systems should be selected in accordance with required loading capacity. Therefore, cable
\nloads planned to be added to the system in the future shall also be considered while selecting a cable tray or
\ncable tray support system.<\/p>\n
A) GENERAL INFORMATION<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\nReceiving and Unloading<\/h5>\n
Cable tray is generally bundled and shipped via motor freight, except for export shipments that could be loaded in
\ncontainers. Accessories and small components are boxed and often skidded. During receiving and unloading of
\ncable trays, some cautions should be considered as shown in the pictures below.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
If the vehicle isn\u2019t suitable for uploading by forklift as indicated in the picture below, it should be hand unloaded.
\nTo prevent damage to cable trays, never pull cable tray from truck trailer by chaining to bottom rung and dragging
\nout of trailer. If hand unloaded, workers should wear gloves and steel toed footwear.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Storage<\/h5>\n
Hot dip galvanized and stainless-steel cable trays can be stored without cover but should be loosely stacked,
\nelevated off the ground and ventilated to prevent storage stain. If appearance is important, cable tray should be
\nstored indoors to prevent water or other foreign materials from staining or adhering to cable tray.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator border_width=”2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
B) INSTALLATION<\/span><\/h4>\n
\nCable tray systems are to be installed so they are accessible. If possible 300mm minimum should be left above or
\nbetween installed systems to allow for cable installation and maintenance. There should be electrical continuity
\nconnection between each cable tray and cable tray system shall be bonded to building steel and earth at least
\nevery 18 meters.
\nSupports for cable trays should provide strength and working load capabilities sufficient to meet the load requirement of the cable tray system. Consideration should be given to the loads associated with future cable additions or
\nany other additional loads applied to the cable tray system or the cable trays support system.<\/p>\n
