How to Install and Configure QUICK TRAY PRO™ Cable Tray

This guide provides instructions for cutting, bending, joining, and supporting QUICK TRAY PRO™ Cable Tray sections to create custom cable management pathways.

Estimated time: 2h

Tools needed:

QTPBC Side Action Bolt Cutter

Supplies needed:

QTPBNWK Splice Kit, QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kit (Black), QTPSSW3 Splice Washer, QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washer (Black), QTPUS10 10 in. Universal Splice Bar, QTPUS10BLK 10 in. Universal Splice Bar, Black, QTP90TKIT T-Connection or 90o Splice Bar, QTP90TKITBLK T-Connection or 90o Splice Bar, Black

  1. Cut Cable Tray Sections

    Use the Hoffman side action bolt cutter (QTPBC) to cut the QUICK TRAY PRO™ Cable Tray. Position the cutting jaws on the cradle wire and make cuts at an angle away from the new end. Ensure one clean cut to minimize sharp edges and protect against corrosion. Review cutting patterns for specific bends or configurations before cutting.

  2. Create Bends or Elbows

    To create a 90-degree bend, cut the side and bottom wires according to the tray width's cutting pattern. Turn the tray on the uncut side and smoothly bend it until the inside edges meet. Secure the bend using QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kits and QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washers. For elbows or other angles, cut side wires from two trays, align them at the desired angle, and fasten with Splice Kits and Splice Washers.

  3. Join Tray Sections

    Connect straight or modified tray sections using QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kits and QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washers. For additional support, use QTPUS10/QTPUS10BLK Universal Splice Bars, which can be cut to fit and bent for tees and elbows. Ensure all connections are secure and stable.

  4. Install Cable Tray Supports

    Install straight section supports at typical 6-foot (1.5m) centers. Place supports within 24 inches (610mm) of any splice on straight sections. The span between supports should not exceed the length of the tray. Provide additional supports around bends and wherever the cable tray level changes to ensure stability.
