How to Install and Configure QUICK TRAY PRO Cable Tray Systems

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for planning, cutting, forming, and connecting Hoffman QUICK TRAY PRO cable tray sections to create custom cable management solutions, including guidelines for proper support installation.

Estimated time: 2h

Tools needed:

Hoffman side action bolt cutter (QTPBC)

Supplies needed:

QUICK TRAY PRO Cable Tray sections, Splice Kits (QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK), Splice Washers (QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK), Universal Splice Bars (QTPUS10/QTPUS10BLK), T-Connection or 90o Splice Bars (QTP90TKIT/QTP90TKITBLK)

  1. Plan Cable Tray Configuration

    Before making any cuts or bends, carefully plan your cable tray layout. Determine the required lengths, widths, and any necessary bends (e.g., 90-degree, large radius, elbows, tees) or width reductions. Refer to the cutting patterns provided in the manual for your specific tray size and desired modifications.

  2. Cut and Form Tray Sections

    Use the Hoffman side action bolt cutter to precisely cut and modify QUICK TRAY PRO cable tray sections according to your planned layout. This specialized cutter helps minimize sharp edges that could snag wires and protects new cuts from corrosion. For straight cuts, position the cutting jaws on the cradle wire and cut side wires at an angle away from the new end, then turn the tray and cut bottom wires. For bends (e.g., 90-degree, large radius, level changes), remove specific wires as indicated by the cutting patterns for your tray size, then carefully bend the tray to the desired shape.

  3. Assemble and Secure Tray System

    Join prepared cable tray sections and secure any formed bends using the appropriate connectors. For general connections and to secure bends, use QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kits and QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washers. For specific junctions like 90-degree tees, utilize QTP90TKIT/QTP90TKITBLK T-Connection Splice Bars. For Y-junctions or width reductions, employ QTPUS10/QTPUS10BLK Universal Splice Bars, cutting them to fit if necessary, and fasten with splice kits and washers.

  4. Install Cable Tray Supports

    Mount supports for the cable tray system. For straight sections, install supports typically at 6-foot (1.5m) centers. Ensure supports are placed within 24 inches (610mm) of any splice on straight sections. The span between supports must not exceed the length of a single tray section. Provide additional supports around all bends and wherever the cable tray level changes to ensure stability and proper load distribution.
