A ceiling-mounted X-ray machine requires the proper support to function with a high degree of accuracy, but these supports are often over-designed and overpriced. Unistrut Midwest designs all-bolted support structures that work as a system, so no welding or hot works permits are required. Our modular systems are faster to assemble and provide future flexibility to accommodate new equipment. The Unistrut Midwest team has:

• Knowledge and expertise to provide anything from a simple 3-rail system to a complex universal grid
• Experience working within "delegated design" parameters, and the ability to assist at any point in a project
• Structural design packages utilizing both 2D and 3D design platforms, as well as P/E stamped drawings, BIM coordination, and shop drawings for any of our designs.

Unistrut Midwest's UMS booms support heavy medical equipment with high moment loads through a bolted, not welded, solution that allows for quick and inexpensive field modifications. The systems can be adjusted for various vendors, making the UMS systems reusable when new equipment is introduced into the OR. By partnering with Unistrut Midwest for your UMS solution, you partner with a full, turnkey service center. Key features of our UMS boom solutions include:

• UMS booms can handle moment loads of up to 20,000 lbs while being lighter relative to welded structures
• No external kickers allow a UMS to occupy a 30-inch x 30-inch footprint or smaller
• Unistrut Midwest can supply the UMS booms, design your solution, provide P/E stamped drawings, prefabricate booms, and install the complete structure
• Ideal for operating room lights, anesthesia booms, surgical booms, exam lights, ICU patient lift booms, and other ceiling-hung equipment

Surgical light systems have become more intricate, leading to higher loading requirements and substantially increased dead loads and moments. With over 70 years of experience, Unistrut Midwest specializes in designing and installing supports for heavy-duty surgical lights, anesthesia booms, surgical booms, dual arm monitor supports, med-gas columns, and more. The Unistrut Midwest team provides:

• Custom design recommendations based on equipment make and model, structural details, elevations, and special considerations
• Expertise in choosing the right support for your application: medium-duty channels and fittings for surgical lights and light-duty channel and fittings for exam lights

CT injectors, monitors, and televisions are low-weight items found throughout the hospital that require structural support but are often forgotten until late in the design and construction process. Unistrut Midwest’s equipment supports are an ideal solution for these products since they utilize standard designs, use off-the-shelf products, and can easily work around the existing MEP services in the interstitial space. Customized Unistrut Midwest solutions include:

• Low-cost, high-strength Unistrut metal framing that offers flexible support and that can adapt to most existing conditions
• Custom designs based on type of equipment, structural details, elevations, and special considerations
• Proper design, material, and installation in tight timelines

Unistrut metal framing is uniquely suited for state-of-the-art cath labs, distributing loads and preventing deflection for improved image quality. The support structure is discretely located above ceiling panels and is attached directly to structural elements like concrete decks or steel beams. Our customized design solutions meet weight requirements and equipment support needs within your budget and project timeline. Benefits of Unistrut for cath lab supports include:  

• All-bolted solutions, with no welding or hot works permits required
• Simple adjustments that meet current needs and allow for future changes
• Modularity for simplified installation around MEP services
• The ability to mount to typical surfaces like concrete or metal beams, bar joists, and concrete decking

Unistrut Midwest has over 70 years of experience in the design and engineering of medical equipment supports. With expertise in “delegated design” medical equipment support parameters, Unistrut Midwest can assist at any point in a project.

Installation requires only a few team members and hand tools with no welding or skilled labor required. This frees up your team's time for other billable work, a benefit that can't be overlooked in today's labor-deprived market. Since the solution arrives fully assembled, installation takes minutes or hours instead of days or weeks, requiring minimal downtime for surrounding construction.

Medical equipment support prefabrication reduces your on-site man hours, project costs, and material waste while still providing the reliable solution you expect.

Medical equipment support prefabrication begins with the Unistrut Midwest team building to your specifications in our warehouse at ground level; a safer process that doesn't interfere with other construction occurring on site. Our metal framing systems require no welded steel connections, saving assembly time, removing the need for hot work permits, and allowing for faster installation. The systems can be modified in the field to accommodate changes in equipment or room layout.
