METAR SUPPORT SYSTEMS
METALOK SUPPORT CHANNEL
Heavy Duty Cantilever
Each Heavy Duty Cantilever has fixing slots to accept the
METAR External Flange Clamps (SW/EFC/#), Adaptable Fixing
Brackets (SW/AFB/#) and Hold Down Brackets (SW-/HDB/#).
The slot pattern allows the adaptable fixing bracket to be
fitted either internally or externally on the METAR cable
ladder. The heavy duty cantilever arm back plate has a
minimum of two 15mm diameter fixing holes (see table below
for details) to accept fixings up to and including M14. The
loading table below gives the recommended maximum load for
each size of heavy duty cantilever arm for supporting uniformly
distributed loads (UDL) such as or for supporting Speedway
cable ladder (which should be uniformly loaded to apply two
equal point loads onto the cantilever arm).
METALOK SUPPORT CHANNEL
Tray Cantilever Arm
The METAR Heavy Duty Cantilever (HDC) provides a specific
means of supporting METAR cable ladder on vertical fixed
structures or channel (strut type) uprights.
The heavy duty cantilevers are available to suit METAR
SW4, SW5 & SW6 Cable Ladders for all widths up to and
including 900mm wide.

METAR tray arms (TCA) are suitable for supporting cable
tray from channel or flat surfaces. Available for cable tray of
widths from 50mm to 900mm, the METAR tray arms have
M10 clearance holes for fixing to the supports and M6
clearance holes to allow for fixing through the bed of the
cable tray.
METAR tray cantilever arms have one fixing hole for arm
lengths up to & including 100mm, and two fixing holes
for arm lengths of 150mm and above. The METAR tray
cantilever arms are suitable for use with the full range of
METAR cable trays.
