Simple Trapeze
MC/AC trapeze: pull the cables through the support and keep everything high and tight.
Give us the size, drop and service and we’ll spec the part number and quote the build.

| Uniform load | 100 lbs | 100 lbs | 90 lbs* | 70 lbs* | 60 lbs* | 50 lbs* | 45 lbs* | 40 lbs* |
Uniform load over the 0.250 in. rod crossbar. * = crossbar bending governs (else the rated load). A single centered point load is limited to half the tabulated value; the configured assembly is further limited by the selected fastener per Section 01. Basis: reference document S.ROD (furnished upon request).
03 · Notes
From the Technical Data Sheet
- Enables airflow to eliminate bundling limitations. NEC 310.15(C)(1)(d).
- Rigid connection to structure eliminates the need to tie off to the ceiling grid below. NEC 300.11(A).
- Finish: zinc plated.
- Support spacing governed by the applicable local building code.
- Dry locations only, per the listing.
- Rated load carries a minimum 4:1 factor of safety on ultimate tested capacity per ICC-ES LC1041 and UL 2239.
- The rated load applies to the support assembly only; the attachment to structure is evaluated separately (Section 01).
- Drawings not to scale.
