The Secret of the Lightning-Fast Cable Tray System 

Good job Steve, now take it back apart so we can get it inside.

out of everything i could learn and pick about this video, seeing a rare 10mm socket in a full socket set case left me in wonder. amazing.

Lightning fast.. 40 hours later...

It is INSANE that you are doing those by hand and not using a drill.

Everything is lightning fast at 4x speed with a bunch of jump cuts...

So many bolts ! I'd have my Milwaukee do them up in a flash.

The helicopter ritual was the essential part of the assembly!

Okay so we have seen how quick it is install on a flat roof, now lets see it mounted on a ceiling working from a mewp. Those wera spanners are shit hot btw

What I love the most about those trays is the way it rolls the skin off your head when you smash into it when running in fibres or cables 😂

Have you considered buying your employees *battery operated power tools* a right angle ratchet would have saved a huge chunk of time there

$786 later... Boss: "Damn it Phil, why's this stuff not in inventory anymore?!?"

Good work, now who are we nailing to it?

Taking time to file down sharp edges and protecting it from corrosion, shows that he's a true professional. Would hire this guy for sure!

YOU PAINTED THE EXPOSED EDGES AFTER CUTTING!!!!! wow gr8 job

No faster than traditional unistrut but I bet it costs twice as much

Beautiful Cross!! God bless you brother!!

Didn’t even think about using a jigsaw for these 😊 nice one

Now build a Star of David. Seriously I love your videos it’s I inspirational. If I wasn’t in IT I would been doing electrical

Nah.. your alright, i get paid by the hour..😂

I've done a few cable trays 8n my day. This is definitely one of them . Usually, they could be replaced by a run of drive rings. I need more than 40 cables to even think of using this. Preferably more than 80.

Cable trays are mounted on or near the ceiling. To mount this one you would need at least four men to put it up.

How rough was that straight cut 😂😂😂😂😂😂

It comes in pieces. Why is everyone asking try putting that on a ceiling? Do you think they are gonna raise the whole thing at once or something? It’s obviously gonna take three days to install.

From a pro editor - this edit is sweeeet!

You built all of that in 1 minute! Decent!

Now, what are you going to use that for?

Awesome edit 👌

I think I’ve seen these on flat rooftops on commercial and residential buildings. They hold the wires and tubing for mobile phone and HVAC above the roof surface so the wires won’t be sitting under water or snow. It requires drilling fewer holes in the roof and it’s easier to secure the wires.

Deburring tool for the cut sheetmetal > using a file. Not hating on files, love em. A good deburring tool is a wonderful tubing.

The specialty wrench killed me xD

Damn! Thumbs up for the editing of this video a well done!

I’m still trying to figure out what I just saw

Like the hyper time lapse editing.

Definitely a pro with that Stanley socket set

Now if he could do this in situ how amazing would that be? And to be fair most electricians can't cut a straight line with a jigsaw either!

It’s not even straight on the floor 😂 Good luck in the air , the gripple trapeze sets are quick

He built it all outside, and now has to disassemble it to carry inside lol

Cheeeeeseee end result was holy . Good job brother

Wow,couldn't believe you guys would have better tools then Stanley

I use trays to fasten my conduits but I use conduits. I just don't use plain trays because if you have to run just a single extra cable. It could be a real pain. To add another cable I just have to run a new one up the right conduit and to the exit point I don't have to scoot a new cable every three feet going up through a drop ceiling or if I have to work in an attic space. So now trays for just wire management. No I can use hangers and conduits in most small jobs

Im an electrical engineer i worked with cable tray a lot and this is the best most satisfying work I’ve ever seen

Curious if you are aware of drill attachments or power tools that can do the same thing as your manual ratchet and socket tools. They make it go a lot faster. For next time...

Halarious... kept watching in anticipation after seeing the wrench tweral . Praise Jesus 🙏👏🎉

I like the paint

That’s a big Erector set!

What was the stuff you sprayed on the ground and then dabbed the ends in? Some kind of liquid galvanizing paint?

I love that they've finally installed wing's so the cables don't get shredded when there being pulled in. That is one pissed cut 😂 Any reason why you didn't use an angle grinder and a bit of wood as a straight edge?

You can't skip the obligatory random ratchet spin. Praise the Lord indeed 🙏✝️😊

"You want me to spend a whole day doing WHAT, boss?" - "Well, you build a big X behind the shed, and film it so that we can pretend it only takes a minute instead of several hours.... Oh, and you have to do it on Saturday, we need to get in the shed during work hours. Also you don't get overtime for that."

There are even faster brands that don't need fasteners

A cordless nut runner/ratchet and ring/open spanners (wrench) would make this so much easier.

It didn't click what the title was so about halfway I'm like "ain't no way I'm putting my car on that for oil changes"

Please do a review of PowerTrack lighting 💡 for site work 🙏🏼

It actually looks a little more complicated than it needs to be. I have ran plenty of cable tray but we don't use it as much as they do outside of the US. The Europeans that install the conveyor systems always ask why we run so much conduit. My answer is hell i don't know!

Magician at work.

Yes now get it in the building dafty

Only with power of editing does that look lightning fast.

So satisfying

Pretty good edits

The lack of suitable washers on those bolted joints (specifically next to the nuts) worries me....

Jesus!..... that was fast.

I love that electricians will spend £50 on a single screwdriver quite happily but looks like the socket set came from Lidl 😂

Now do it in a drop ceiling with HVAC, plumbing and grid wire in the way.

Great job there isn’t much call for car park tray where we are or was it a cross for a helie pad 😂

Power tools would be a good investment

Fast forwarding is the secret

I’m sorry, but how exactly is this faster than normal tray? By the time you assemble the feet, I’d have 40’ in the ceiling already.

You'd think he would use a impact driver if this is his job

As I have installed many cable trays, it's not that straight forward when you got to go over or around existing services that are not on the same level

Never mind all that. What’s that crescent wrench you’re using?

That is a lot of screwing. There can't be any snap-on components to replace most of the screwing work to make it actually lighting fast?

Good idea of using one's talent to Praise God.😊

would this type of system work well for parts of a build out for a van/camper build? maybe cabinets?

So, what do you use that thing for?

Keep the tray system (wich seems amazing for those who need it), send me that wrench pack you opened first!

Now he's ready to get his step-dad's baseball back from that giant dog

What is that for?

Someone please get this man a milwaukee impact

Grinder or jigsaw for the tray cuts?

ii only goes in that fast on a fixed price job, play in slow mo for day rate.

Aren't the mounts the wrong way around?

Now do that in a ceiling one piece at a Time!

What is that gray spary that you use on the metal?

Piece of piss on the ground try above your head 3 metres above the ground onto a concrete ceiling.

So what is the secret?

Use Noga for deburring not a file ... MUCH better job. And a power nibbler does a way neater cut than a jigsaw too.

Something better on the market

Idk wtf that thing is he made but its kind of a cool funny video

Is this stainless steel?

This video took longer to produce than the trunking took to put up.

You PRO!

Seems like it could be simplified a bit.

Erector sets have their place but are expensive.

The fact you coated the exposed edges means you actually give a you know what

What is the purpose of this build?

I didn't catch whether the secret is to assemble on the floor or to praise some lord...

Which brand of time lapse you're using?

Looks awkward having to tighten from underneath the tray unlike regular strut and zebs

Is it a low voltage wire trough? 🤔

I hope that place has a loading dock cuz that's way too wide to get in a regular door
