MULTI-TRADE RACK SOLUTIONS

As construction demands grow and timelines shorten, contractors need to think outside the box to deliver on schedule. Prefabricated Multi-Trade Rack (MTR) builds allow for construction of key mechanical components offsite, thereby shortening installation onsite to a matter of hours. These time saving benefits are further emphasized through the use of modular materials like Unistrut and Sikla siFramo.  

Increase Speed to Market

Modular MTRs can be built in half a day and fit with required electrical, HVAC, and/or plumbing. This is done in parallel to primary construction, so MTRs can be installed as soon as the building is ready, with many installations taking only an afternoon. Our modular steel systems can be assembled 300-500% faster than traditional welded structures.

Maximize Skilled Labor Time

Instead of spending days or weeks building a traditional welded steel system, skilled laborers are free to work on other jobs while the MTR is built offsite. With modular materials like Unistrut and Sikla siFramo, MTR installation only requires hand tools and minimal training. Construction teams spend considerably less time installing a prefabricated MTR than building a welded steel system, a crucial consideration for an industry facing labor shortages.

Increase Worksite Safety

Moving the majority of secondary construction offsite at ground level greatly increases the safety of the worksite. Limiting the time spent working with overhead stick installations decreases opportunities for injury.

Multi-Trade Rack Applications

Unistrut Midwest MTR solutions can leverage Unistrut and Sikla siFramo components to bring efficiency and future flexibility to your project. These systems allow all services, such as electrical conduit, cable, domestic waterlines, and more, to be supported within the same rack, minimizing congestion of trades working overhead simultaneously and accelerating the production schedule.

Multi-Trade Rack Services

Design + Engineering

The Unistrut Midwest team creates detailed and customized Multi-Trade Rack plans based on project specifications. By using modular materials like Unistrut and Sikla siFramo, MTR designs can be optimized for existing requirements and, as operations grow, these systems can be easily adjusted to meet new demands. We offer structural design packages utilizing both 2D and 3D design platforms. We can provide P/E Stamp Drawings, BIM Coordination, and Shop Drawings for any of our designs.

Installation

Unistrut or Sikla siFramo MTRs are installed onsite in a matter of hours without the need for skilled labor or welding, as both systems require only hand tools to assemble and adjust. The Unistrut Midwest team can complete the installation, or instruct client teams on how to install and adjust their systems. The adjustability of these systems easily accommodates any unforeseen circumstances during installation, like out-of-level concrete.

Prefabrication

Leveraging Unistrut and Sikla siFramo, Unistrut Midwest can prefabricate entire MTR systems in our warehouse. These weldless, configurable metal framing systems make offsite prefabrication simple, further speeding up the construction timeline. Also available are kitting and sub-assembly services. Regardless of project requirements, all possible tasks are completed in our warehouse, freeing up time and team members on the worksite.
