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.



SEAMLESS ASSEMBLY

Designed to improve productivity, flexibility, and safety

With Hilti's MT System, you can seamlessly and simply combine all of your MEP utilities in a single support structure that has been engineered for optimal efficiency. Installation of MT components is intuitive and seamless with innovative Twist-Lock connectors that are inserted into the strut channel with a one-handed “push and twist” motion.  Hilti modular supports can also be precut, kitted, and preassembled on site for faster construction versus traditional welded support systems. 

MODULAR SUPPORT SYSTEM VS. WELDING

DESIGNED TO LAST

Cutting-edge corrosion resistance with zinc magnesium coating

Hilti's MT System is designed to provide optimal corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor exposure. For indoor exposure, profiles are Sendzimir galvanized and connectors and baseplates are electro-galvanized. The outdoor solution combines hot-dip galvanized zinc for components such as connectors and baseplates, and zinc magnesium for profiles.

Corrosion is a natural yet costly and potentially dangerous process that occurs in virtually all compounds. It can cause structural deficiencies that require costly repair or replacement and result in loss of time, but it’s not always easy to find compromised components until it’s too late. Zinc magnesium offers enhanced corrosion resistance when compared to conventional zinc-coated steel, without significantly increasing the coating thickness. 

A new manufacturing process is used to bind the zinc and magnesium to the bare metal surface. This results in less zinc being used, making the coating thinner, lighter, and applied more evenly throughout the components surface area compared to traditional HDG coatings. The thinner coating thickness also improves the forming properties of the component members, improving the mechanical properties of bends and thread deformations. This also means that even hard to reach corners, like inside bends, have better corrosion protection.
