Glossary
to annotations:
(1)
Span for loading = Straight section length
(2) Power = Steel armor, 600V, 4
conductor 750 kcmil; 3.8 Lbs. per
inch-width of tray
(3) CAT 5 = 4 UTP Category 5 (O.D.
= .21, .026 Lbs./ft.)
(4) 200 Lb. Concentrated Load - per foot
affect per stated span
We = 2 x (concentrated Static Load) /
span length
(5) w1 = Load to
calculate, kg/m (Lbs./ft.)
L12 = Span
length in meters (ft) squared
w2 = Tested Load, kg/m ( Lbs./ft.)
L22 = Tested
span
in meters (ft) squared
(6) Loading is limited by rung deflection, not
failure. Span length is limited to 1/3 section length for
wall attachment.

| Note:
The primary and secondary lengths listed here are meant
to direct the user to lengths that best suit support
span demands and practical loading requirements.
The primary length is the one that
is the most appropriate for the strength of the system
and that will provide the fastest service levels. |
