Strut Channel Support Configurator
Spec a metal strut channel support before you call a supplier. Pick the right channel profile, gauge, and finish for your environment, watch a quick span-and-load sanity check, and get a parts list you can hand your distributor. The load figures are illustrative assumptions to be verified, not real product data: it is a planning tool, not a stamped engineering design.
Illustrative figures only. These allowable loads are generic assumptions, not data for any specific product. Verify every value against your manufacturer's load tables and a qualified engineer before you order or build.

How this is figured
The load check compares your span and load against generic, illustrative allowable uniform loads (example values, not taken from any specific manufacturer's catalog), scaled for the profile depth and gauge you picked and halved for a load concentrated at mid-span. Longer spans are usually governed by deflection, not strength, so the tool flags long spans for a closer look. The finish recommendation matches the channel to how corrosive the environment is. Every one of these figures is an assumption to be verified, not a sourced value.
The parts list is built from the counts you entered: channel length rounded up to standard 10 ft sticks, a fitting per connection point, two channel nuts and two bolts per fitting and per attachment, an end cap per cut piece, and the attachment hardware you chose.
Planning and screening only, with illustrative figures. The allowable loads are generic assumptions, not values for any specific product, and they vary by manufacturer, product series, and code edition. This tool does not account for combined loading, fastener and anchor capacity, bracing, vibration, seismic demand, or deflection limits for your specific use. Treat every number here as an assumption to be verified, and confirm it against your manufacturer's current load tables and a licensed engineer before you build or buy.
Sell strut, fittings, or support systems?
This same configurator can be branded for your business: your product series and part numbers, your finishes, your load tables, and the buyer's parts list routed straight to you as a quote-ready lead instead of a phone call your inside-sales team has to field.
Or run it yourself.
Take the working tool as a file and put your own catalog in it. The kit includes the tool, a quickstart, a spreadsheet template, plain terms, and a ready-made prompt so an AI tool can load your products for you. The math, layout, drawing, and parts-list logic are already built. Free.
Want this one running on your products?
We load it with your products or your numbers, finish it in your brand so it reads as part of your site rather than ours, and route the buyer’s summary to your inbox. Your logo, your palette and type, your product names, and the language your buyers already use. One file, dropped onto your existing site. No platform, no login, no monthly. Five business days.
