Modular support system on a jobsite

Modular Support System

A single solution for your installation requirements

Easy-to-design and simple to assemble, Hilti's MT System offers an integrated solution with hardware, software, and services for mechanical, electrical, and industrial support systems.

Whether you're planning MEP installations such as pipe and cable tray supports, or access platforms and integrated floors for energy and industry projects, you’ll only need one versatile, lightweight, and highly efficient MT System.

Benefits of Hilti's Modular Support System

Productivity and flexibility

Hilti's modular system offers several key enhancements when compared to traditional welded applications so you can do more with less. 

Easy on-site adjustments

Installation and on-site adaptations of MT components are more intuitive and seamless with Hilti's innovative Twist-Lock connectors.

Vibration and corrosion resistant

With a cutting-edge zinc magnesium coating, Hilti's modular systems are designed to provide optimal corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor exposure.

Custom Support Design and Standard Supports Services

From the very first phase of a project, we understand the importance of even the smallest details. A minor sizing error at the start can lead to significant issues during construction.

That's why our team of engineers is available from the early stages of your project to assist you in designing and implementing your support system. We have also developed new services and software to help optimize your project costs.

Pipe supports

Available in different profiles and corrosion resistant, Hilti modular systems are ideal for a wide range of pipe support applications in many industries and segments. These brackets can be pre-assembled and adjusted in the field, providing increased productivity over traditional welded systems.

Electrical supports

Hilti's modular systems can support all of your cable tray needs. From single trays to complex multi-tiered systems, modular supports give you the flexibility you need. Additionally, with Hilti’s wide range of Anchoring and Direct Fastening portfolio, you can fasten directly to concrete or clamp to steel without damaging the base material like a welded frame. 

Ventilation supports

A complete portfolio of modular systems to support HVAC applications : Hilti's modular support system can be used to support a wide range of ventilation support applications. Designed to leverage the full portfolio of Hilti products, it offers contractors greater simplicity, productivity, and flexibility.

3D engineered supports

Hilti's modular supports system offers an integrated solution for complex engineered supports. 

We measure and cut. You build.

We’ll ship our pre-measured and pre-cut materials direct to your job site for immediate installation, helping reduce your labor and scrap costs and cutting-related job site injuries.

We kit. You build.

Kits are packaged with all components needed for assembly. Minimize freight costs over large, bulk products with conveniently boxed kits that can be transported to any desired location.

We assemble. You install.

Pre-assembled materials arrive ready for immediate installation. Help save assembly time and on-site storage space, decrease inventory management costs, and shorten your construction schedule.

Supports for electrical and instrumentation equipment

Design and build durable equipment racks in a variety of configurations with Hilti modular supports. Utilize Hilti’s traditional strut system for smaller or single equipment stands. Step up to Hilti’s MI and MIQ modular products to build larger, multi-equipment racks. Take full advantage of the system’s flexibility and integrate roof structures, cable trays or piping.

Benefits:

  • Adjustable supports for E&I junction boxes, switching equipment, and access panels
  • Flexibility in the field to adapt to changing needs of job
  • Bolted solution with no welding required
  • Intuitive analysis software available to model applicable loads

 

Ideal solution for improving access to plant equipment

Hilti’s modular support system is the ideal solution for providing access to plant equipment and to provide better maneuverability inside facilities. The system can be used for walk-overs, stair landings, equipment platforms, access floors and more. Utilize our Project Management Office to assist with OSHA compliant designs.

Hilti platforms can also be used to replace ‘temporary’ scaffolding on projects that often become a permanent fixture. This can eliminate costly rental fees and inspection requirements in place for temporary scaffolding structures.

Benefits:

  • Modular construction around existing equipment or structures
  • No welding required to install on existing job sites
  • Non-destructive disassembly when needed, and parts are reusable
  • Design assistance available through Hilti's Project Management Office

 

Engineered supports for rooftop equipment

Medical technology is constantly changingand advancing with the goal of improving patient care and hospital productivity. To stay on the cutting edge, you need support systems that easily adapt to the latest equipment so you can improve efficiency, shorten facility downtime, and reduce the impact on patients and staff.

Benefits for owners and facility operators 

  • Minimizes the likelihood of damage to the roof membrane that can cause leaks
  • Loads could be spread and connections made more efficiently, reducing the material and labor required to install the system

Benefits to engineers and consultants

  • Engineered supports offer high load capacities and great load distribution
  • Supports offer a controlled surface for equipment to be attached to, minimizing point loads and roof abrasion
  • Components are treated for corrosion protection, which means it can be trusted for long lasting performance

Benefits for contractors and installers

  • Lightweight and compact design is easy to transport and haul across construction sites
  • Great cost position that's fast and easy to install
  • High load capacities reducing the number of supports required, resulting in less material and less labor

 

Engineered supports for multiple trade equipment needs

Multi-trade racks are lean solutions for cramped service pathways. The systems are generally prefabricated and allow for a high level of coordination and flexibility between various trade solutions. This helps improve schedules, quality and safety, as these systems allow more consistency in the process. Hilti offers an integrated approach; from design and analysis software to advanced logistics and anchoring technologies.

Benefits:

  • Offers improved quality control of the assembly and system components including the opportunity to factory-test 
  • Easier to handle and transport compared to prefabricated welded steel​
  • Provides on-site design and installation flexibility
  • Reduced total installed cost when compared to the material, time and labor of pre-fabricating and installing welded steel supports​
  • Elimination of virtually all field waste

NIEUW PRODUCT

Het Fast-Lock Portfolio

Snellere, veiligere en eenvoudigere installatie van modulaire draagstructuren

De installatie van MT-liggers, profielrails en andere componenten was nog nooit zo intuïtief en eenvoudig.

Verbind de rails met de liggers met slechts één hand dankzij zelfvormende bouten die moeren en ringen overbodig maken. Bovendien zijn in sommige gevallen zelfs geen verbindingsstukken nodig dankzij directe verbindingen tussen liggers of tussen rails en liggers.

Door gebruik te maken van het volledige assortiment MT-componenten profiteert u van een vereenvoudigd systeem dat zo veelzijdig mogelijk is ontworpen.

Voor rail-naar-railverbindingen heeft Hilti innovatieve voorgemonteerde connectoren ontwikkeld om de installatie sneller, eenvoudiger en veiliger te maken:

Een compleet assortiment voorgemonteerde verbindingsstukken geschikt voor interne en externe steunen. Ze bevatten een slim, gepatenteerd mechanisme genaamd “Fast-Lock”, dat in de onderstaande video wordt getoond.
