About this asset

Constructed from sheet metal, this grey solid bottom cable tray is an MEP Revit family featuring low upturned side rails for linear cable containment. The component depicts a wide, solid-bottom trough profile rendered in a uniform matte grey finish. Its geometry consists of a broad, flat planar base bounded by two low vertical side flanges running along the entire length. Fabricated with thin-gauge sheet metal proportions, the profile represents a straight containment channel designed for running electrical power or data conduits. The minimalist form focuses on accurate spatial envelope representation without complex perforations or fixings, providing clean profile edges and clear boundaries suitable for lightweight geometric coordination.

The download is a 174 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.

Loading this RFA family into Revit integrates a clean containment segment into MEP discipline views and technical schematics. The lightweight asset places efficiently within ceiling voids, riser shafts, or wall chases without adding excessive polygon weight to system models. Model users can assign custom metal finishes via parameter slots or map it into coordination views alongside conduits and distribution panels.

Engineered for building services coordination, this element suits commercial offices, healthcare facilities, institutional campuses, and industrial plant rooms. It integrates directly into ceiling voids, raised access floor plenums, and exposed service zones across preliminary MEP routing and design development phases. Visualisers and BIM coordinators frequently query terms like electrical cable tray, solid containment channel, metal trunking, and wire basket raceway when populating service corridors and infrastructure backbones.
