About this asset

This Revit family provides a steel vertical support stand designed for cable tray systems, featuring a robust concrete base. The assembly consists of a vertical steel structural member, likely an I-beam or similar profile, mounted onto a solid, rectangular concrete foundation block. It includes a horizontal bracket or cross-member at the top to secure cable tray runs. The design is utilitarian, focusing on load-bearing stability for overhead electrical or mechanical services. Proportionally, the base provides a substantial footprint to anchor the vertical post, ensuring proper load distribution for heavy-duty cable management systems. The materials are rendered with a clean, standard grey finish for the concrete and a dark, neutral tone for the steel components.

The download is a 420 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.

Engineers can load this RFA file directly into a Revit project as a generic model or mechanical equipment family. Once inserted, the support can be aligned with existing cable tray runs or structural grids. Users should manage the height and spacing parameters to match specific site conditions and clearance requirements. It is best practice to assign this component to a dedicated workset for MEP services to maintain proper visibility and scheduling control within the broader building information model.

This component is essential for detailed MEP coordination in industrial facilities, commercial office developments, and large-scale infrastructure projects. It is specifically intended for use during the technical design and construction documentation phases where cable tray routing and support detailing are critical. Architects and engineers will find this useful when modelling complex ceiling voids, plant rooms, or exposed industrial interiors. It pairs effectively with standard cable tray systems, electrical conduit runs, and structural steel framing elements to ensure accurate clash detection and construction sequencing.
