How to Customize and Assemble QUICK TRAY PRO Cable Tray Sections

This guide provides instructions for cutting, bending, and connecting QUICK TRAY PRO cable tray sections, such as the QTP6X18, to create custom configurations for cable routing.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Hoffman side action bolt cutter

Supplies needed:

QUICK TRAY PRO Cable Tray sections, Splice Kits (QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK), Splice Washers (QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK)

  1. Cut Cable Tray Sections

    Use the Hoffman side action bolt cutter to make precision cuts on the cable tray. First, decide which wires must be removed according to your desired configuration. Position the cutting jaws on the cradle wire and cut the top side wire at an angle away from the new end. Repeat for all remaining side wires, ensuring clean cuts. Turn the tray over and cut the bottom wires from the underside, resting the cutting jaws on the cradle wire and cutting at an angle away from the new end. This minimizes sharp edges and protects against corrosion.

  2. Form a 90-Degree Bend

    At the desired bend location, cut all side wires for the specific tray width, following the cutting patterns provided in the manual (red areas indicate wires to be removed). Turn the tray on the uncut side and smoothly bend the tray upwards until the inside edges closest to the uncut side meet, forming a 90-degree angle.

  3. Secure the 90-Degree Bend

    Fasten the formed 90-degree bend using QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kits and QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washers. Refer to the manual for the correct fastening locations and number of splice kits and washers required for your specific tray width.
