2.0 MODULAR SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY 2.1 BENEFITS AND APPLICATIONS OF MT
Modular Support Systems Technical Guide , Edition 1
One Integrated System
Hilti ’ s MT system is your solution to nearly all of your modular support structures , covering applications ranging from cable trays , piping supports , overhead grids , and multi-trade racks .
The MT portfolio allows components to be bolted together quickly and efficiently to provide support for your applications . Because welding is not required , installation work can be done in flame and gas sensitive areas . Whether your application needs are simple or complex , the MT system has you covered .
The Hilti MT Support System helps reduce planning and installation time . Because each piece is lightweight and generally reconfigurable , there is no need for heavy equipment . As such , the system helps reduce waste , adding to the overall system efficiency and savings to your bottom line .
The MT portfolio is designed to be complementary to the full range of MT open ( angles and channels ) and closed ( girders ) profiles .
Flexible
• Easier to install , reconfigure , and extend .
• More efficient design to satisfy “ as built ” tolerances .
• One integrated portfolio to cover light-duty to heavy-duty support configurations .
Efficient
• Faster and more consistent installation with the SIW-AT module .
• Faster and easier on-site installation requires no specialized labor .
• No welding means less downtime and hot work permit for constructing supports .
Economical
• All parts are re-adjustable in the field .
• One MT connector can have multiple applications , saving component and installation cost .
• Up to 50 % lighter than equivalent welded systems , less special lifting equipment required .
• No welding with a Hilti Modular System means avoiding potentially high welding costs .
Safe
• Connection mechanism with reinforced dome holes on MT girders .
• Cutting-edge corrosion resistance with the use of Zinc Magnesium Coating .
