B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" Height, 47.5625" Length, 24" Width, Series 2-5 horizontal bend, Aluminum, 45° Angle, 48" Radius

That is exactly what it is built for. The 6A-24-45HB48 is a 24 inch wide, 6 inch deep aluminum horizontal bend, so it splices into a straight run of the same B-Line Series 2 through 5 aluminum tray in 24 inch width and 6 inch loading depth. If your run is a different width or a 3, 4 or 5 inch depth, you need the matching bend for that size instead.

The 6A-24-45HB48 bend is UL Classified. That classification is what lets aluminum tray be used as an equipment grounding conductor under the NEC when the run is properly bonded across every joint, so the splice plates and any bonding jumpers at this fitting have to be installed per the manufacturer's instructions for the grounding path to count.

Allow for a fitting measuring 47.5625 inches on its long dimension, 24 inches across the tray width and 6 inches deep, with the arc swinging through 45 degrees off the straight run. Set your hangers so a support falls near each end of the fitting rather than trying to cantilever the turn off the adjoining straight sections.

Order the splice plates and connection hardware separately. The 6A-24-45HB48 is the bend section itself, 14.2 pounds of aluminum, and it joins to the adjoining straight sections with the B-Line splice plates matched to the Series 2 through 5 aluminum rail. Budget two splice connections per fitting plus the hangers or trapeze supports at each end.

No. A horizontal bend turns the run left or right while staying at the same elevation. To step a run up or down you need an inside or outside vertical elbow of the same width and radius. The 6A-24-45HB48 handles a 45 degree change of direction in plan only.
