Worked cable tray rise examples
Choose a geometry close to your measurements. These cases compare ideal base-edge geometry, not material bend allowances. Every row opens a complete example with its own numbers and calculator.

What changes between the cases?
At the same rise, a steeper angle shortens the slope and its horizontal reach. Side height changes the V-notch; base width changes the channel cross-section but does not change the ideal rise triangle. Use each page’s stated horizontal run to understand its lead-in.
