METALOK SUPPORT CHANNEL
Single Channel Cantilever Arm
SUPPORTS
A range of supports and accessories complement METAR
Cable Management Systems. General purpose single and double
channel cantilevers, heavy duty cantilevers, overhead hangers
and a comprehensive channel support system manufactured to BS
6946 in conjunction with Intelok Beam Clamps and Brackets offer
solutions to suit all particular site requirements.
The Single Channel Cantilever Arm Bracket (IC/CARM/SC) is suitable for supporting light to medium loads. The single
channel cantilever arm bracket is available in lengths from 150mm to 1200mm for supporting METAR cable ladder
and cable tray. Where heavier load carrying performance is required, the single channel cantilever arm bracket can be
reinforced using a cantilever arm prop (IC/PROP/length/#) see page 213. The single channel cantilever arm bracket,
based on a conventional strut profile, is suitable for use with both external flange clamps (SW/EFC/#), adaptable
fixing brackets (SW/AFB/#) and hold down brackets (SW/HDB/#) for METAR Cable Ladder and for Cable Tray is
suitable for use with the tray hold down bracket (HDB) or for direct fixing through the bed of the cable tray using
conventional M6 channel nuts.
The loading table below gives the recommended maximum load for each size of single channel cantilever arm
bracket for supporting uniformly distributed loads (UDL) such as cable tray or for supporting METAR cable ladder
(which should be uniformly loaded to apply two equal point loads onto the cantilever arm).
Safety Factor of 3.
~ Not recommended without the use of additional support
Longer cantilever arm lengths are available for use as part of a pendant assembly where the single channel
cantilever arm is suspended vertically to create a support system in conjunction with cantilever arm brackets as
shown on the page overleaf. Consult our Design Team for loading information.
