Commonly called the Load Class, this defines the load-carrying capability of the tray for a specific support span distance. The design and cost of the cable tray is greatly affected by this designation.

For ladder or ventilated trough trays, the total sum of the cross-sectional areas of all the cables to be installed in the cable tray must be equal to or less than the allowable cable area for the tray width, as
