Calculate cable tray sizing and fill capacity based on tray dimensions, cable diameter, number of cables, and maximum fill percentage per electrical code. Determine whether cables fit within safe fill limits.
For industrial work, keep a tray schedule with conductor count, cable outside diameter, tray width, voltage class, and spare capacity. When a 12-inch ladder tray starts near 50% practical
Adding a second "deck" to the existing trays and moving the cables as they are constructed is a possibility. I don''t think separating cables with "chairs"
Adding a second "deck" to the existing trays and moving the cables as they are constructed is a possibility. I don''t think separating cables with "chairs" will work if it raises some of

Compressed insulation, visible sagging in the cable tray, and frequent cable malfunctions are all signs of an overloaded system. Unusual heat near the tray should also raise a red flag.
Manufacturers typically recommend expansion fittings every 50 to 100 feet for aluminum tray and every 100 to 150 feet for steel tray, depending on the expected temperature range.
