  • Publication number: 20180309275
    Abstract: A cable tray accessory section that is manually bendable allowing it to easily bend over or under obstructions, such as ceiling beams and pipes. The bendable cable tray comprises a plurality of cross members combined by first and second longitudinal side members. The cross members are not combined by any other means thereby allowing the first and second longitudinal members to be easily bent in the field by the user to a desired configuration. The bendable cable tray section is adapted to connect at each end to another cable tray or accessory section. In some embodiments the bendable tray section starts with one end at a particular elevation, bends over or under an obstruction, then returns the second end to the original elevation. In other embodiments the bendable tray section starts with one end at a particular elevation then bends along its length (typically upward or downward) so that the second end is positioned at a different elevation.

  • Patent number: 10107420
    Abstract: A cable tray comprising a tray supported on each side by a side rail. The tray includes a plurality of cross members combined by longitudinal members. The tray includes a bottom portion for supporting the cables and side walls on either side of the bottom portion to help retain the cables in the tray. The side rail is a generally solid body which supports the tray and is removably combined with the tray's side walls. The side rail includes a lower support and a web. The lower support includes a surface adapted to support a portion of the bottom portion of the tray. The web extends upwardly from the lower support and is spaced from a lip or retaining member forming a gap or opening between the web and the retaining member. The opening is adapted to receive a portion of the tray's side wall to help secure the tray to each side rail.
