About this asset

This Revit family provides a steel hanging cable support designed for suspending cable trays in complex MEP building systems. The assembly features a pair of vertical steel rods secured to horizontal channel brackets, specifically engineered to cradle a standard ladder-style cable tray. The geometry is clean and functional, focusing on the interface between the suspension rod and the supporting cross-member of the tray. The design allows for precise vertical adjustment, typical of ceiling-mounted MEP infrastructure. The construction is entirely metallic, represented with a uniform finish, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into high-density technical models where cable routing and overhead clearance are critical to the overall building coordination.

The download is a 461 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.

Users can load this family into a Revit project and host it directly onto ceiling planes or structural soffits. The component is designed for snap-to-grid placement along cable tray runs, allowing MEP engineers to quickly populate long segments with consistent support intervals. Parameters can be adjusted to match specific ceiling heights, while the object remains lightweight to maintain model performance during large-scale coordination tasks in complex industrial or commercial ceiling voids.

Engineers and BIM coordinators use this component in the design and construction documentation phases of industrial plants, commercial office buildings, and data centres. It is essential for accurately modelling cable management systems, ensuring that clashes with HVAC ductwork, fire suppression piping, and electrical conduits are identified during the coordination process. Professionals searching for cable tray accessories, overhead suspension systems, or MEP mounting hardware will find this family highly effective for maintaining accurate schedules and visual representation in technical drawings.
