Calculating the Weight of Suspended Trough at Each
Suspension Point
For calculating the weight of suspended trough identify the following factors: (1) Length of trough to be
suspended at a suspension point, (2) Number of corners to be suspended at a suspension point,
(3) Number of single drive units to be suspended at a suspension point.
Calculate the weight of the trough to be suspended by inserting the quantity of each component in the
formula below.
L
(Length of trough (in feet) * 8.61) +
C
(Number of corners) * 22.759) +
D
(Number of single drive units)
* 141.28) = Weight of trough to be suspended (pounds) at a suspension point.

D
(*141.38)
= Weight of trough to be suspended (pounds) at each
suspension point.
