Modular Support System vs. Welding
Helping to improve productivity, flexibility, and safety compared to traditional methods
Hilti's modular designs can be pre-assembled or cut in the field more quickly than welded systems. Completely flexible and adjustable on the jobsite Hilti's modular support systems offers a cost and time-saving solution by helping reduce rework.

Modular Support Systems vs. Welded Steel
Weight savings
Modular support structures can reduce the system weight by up to 40%. That's 40% less material to ship and cart around the jobsite.
Faster
Fabrication and assembly of modular systems can be significantly faster than comparable welded systems.
CO2 Reduction
From weight reduction to corrosion protection, modular supports are a modern solution for your secondary supports applications.
Cost savings
Modular systems reduce costs by helping to save up to 25% on install time, labor, and weight.
Benefits of Hilti's Modular Support System
