Heavy Duty Vertical Cable Tray Support

This heavy duty vertical cable tray support is a Revit family featuring a robust floor-mounted column for complex MEP routing. Engineered for heavy-load industrial applications, this support system consists of a vertical circular steel column anchored to a cubic base. The design facilitates the elevation and stability of overhead cable tray runs, ensuring consistent clearance for electrical distribution networks. The geometry is clean and functional, prioritising structural integrity over aesthetic detail. This component is designed to integrate seamlessly with standard cable tray systems, providing a reliable mounting point that maintains alignment across long horizontal spans. Its simplified form allows for efficient placement within complex MEP models without burdening the file size.

The download is a 451 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this component functions as a loadable family that can be placed directly into a project or linked via a workset for electrical coordination. Users can adjust the height of the vertical column to match ceiling voids or structural clearances. It is best practice to host the base on the floor level while aligning the top bracket to the underside of the cable tray run during the coordination phase of the project.

Ideal for industrial facilities, data centres, and large-scale commercial developments, this support is essential for managing dense electrical cabling and data infrastructure. Professionals working on MEP coordination, electrical plant rooms, and industrial retrofits will find this asset useful for maintaining clean, organised cable routing. It pairs effectively with standard cable tray families and structural steel elements, allowing for accurate clash detection and precise quantity take-offs during the detailed design and construction documentation stages of the building lifecycle.
