AUTOMOTIVE FACILITY SOLUTIONS

Faster and safer construction and re-tooling of car manufacturing plants

For automotive manufacturing, we cover your whole assembly workflow, from the press shop through to welding, painting, assembly and final inspection. Solutions include machine and equipment anchoring, modular pipe supports and flexible strut systems for structures such as suspended grid ceilings or light tunnels. Hilti understands that automotive manufacture relies on high-value equipment, which is why we offer solutions with global approvals for loading and vibrations. We supply operative plants, as well as re-tooling and new-build projects, giving you the right systems, applications and quality tools to help deliver safe and faster installation and boost operational flexibility.

Loading

Fastening dynamic equipment

Wide range of anchoring solutions for equipment such as robots in automotive facilities

Automotive facilities often rely on high-value dynamic equipment such as robots, as well as vibratory machinery including pumps, compressors and heat exchangers. When you need to fasten items like these to concrete, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of more reliable and specified anchors with global standards and approvals. PROFIS Engineering Premium combines post-installed anchor and baseplate design, as well as analysis, in one cloud-based software platform, offering workflow improvements and productivity gains when assessing steel-to-concrete connections.

Fastening equipment to concrete

Systems for simpler anchoring of non-dynamic equipment in automotive facilities

The ability to fasten non-dynamic equipment to concrete is central to automotive facilities. We are your full anchoring solutions provider, providing a broad range of mechanical and chemical post-installed anchors, all with type approvals for fastening to concrete in different situations. Hilti tools, including cordless drills with Active Torque Control, and dust control solutions with vacuum systems, help make anchor layout and installation faster and simpler – giving you more confidence, security and trust for each application.

Utility pipe supports

Modular piping supports for greater operational flexibility of automotive plants

As automotive facilities are built, extended or reconfigured, you need to install a whole range of non-critical MEP piping. Traditionally, the industry has relied on welded pipe supports that are not only unnecessarily heavy, but also slow to install and difficult to adjust. Our modular pipe support systems help make it much simpler to fit and re-fit small pipes to a structure, giving you more flexibility across every project and helping lower total cost of ownership. In addition, you can work 20 percent faster when you install anchors with an impact wrench fitted with an Adaptive Torque module. 

CABLE TRAY AND LADDER SUPPORTS

Modular systems for faster installation and easier last-minute design changes

We bring you the benefits of modular cable tray and cable ladder supports, giving you a flexible alternative to cumbersome heavy-load cable trays or waterfall supports. Faster to install and easier to modify, the Hilti MT system allows you to integrate multiple systems such as electrical, HVAC and piping. They also make late design changes of cable routing simpler to apply. PROFIS software with modular plug-ins for 3D modeling can also help you to design robust cable tray and cable ladder systems with the correct type approvals.

Multi-discipline supports

Eliminate welding with modular supports for automotive facilities

We offer modular support systems that can be used for the simultaneous routing of pipes, ventilation, sprinkler, electrical and seismic applications within your automotive facility. More flexible and easier to adjust, these patented multi-discipline supports include an innovative grid approach that allows the end-user to decouple engineering and construction. Removing the need for laborious welding and separate MEP supports, these support systems are more reliable and faster to install - ideal for a wide range of projects and applications. 

Production and maintenance solutions

Tools for jobs from stamping to forging as well as repair and maintenance work

Our ergonomic power tools and accessories make work such as stamping, molding and forging more efficient. In addition, they are ideal for maintenance teams needing to assemble or repair complex dies to the highest precision and industry standards. Available in corded or equally powerful cordless versions with long-lasting and interchangeable 12V or 22V batteries, the extensive Hilti tool portfolio contains all you need for facility maintenance and the installation and repair of mechanical, electrical and hydraulic production equipment. With more advanced security features for safer working, products include everything from drilling machines, screwdrivers, angle grinders and die grinders to nibblers. Also popular are slitting shears, cable cutters, riveting tools, plus impact wrenches with Active Torque Control.

Protect your teams

To help you reduce the risk of accidents and injuries on your jobsites, we invest heavily in safety technologies – whether it's tool-based dust control solutions, training, or systems for tracking worker certication.
