Aluminum Prefabricated MEP Support Systems
An engineered modular support system developed for modern MEP and infrastructure projects. High-strength aluminum profiles, embedded anchor channels, mechanical locking connections, pipe-support components and seismic fittings work together as one integrated structural system.
Annual production capacity for aluminum prefabricated connection systems.
Ultra-high-strength aluminum structural components.
Embedded channel fatigue performance verified by testing.
Improved anti-slip performance through mechanical locking design.
Why Replace Traditional Steel Support Systems?
The system combines high-strength aluminum material technology with integrated forming, mechanical locking and modular installation to address structural weight, corrosion, electrical losses and connection reliability in long-life infrastructure.
Lightweight & High Strength
Aluminum density is approximately one-third that of carbon steel, reducing structural dead load while specialized structural components can reach tensile strength up to 728 MPa.
Non-Ferromagnetic & Zero Eddy-Current Loss
Unlike ferromagnetic steel supports, aluminum does not generate eddy-current losses around high-current cable systems, making it particularly suitable for electrical infrastructure.
Long-Life Corrosion Resistance
Aluminum avoids many of the corrosion limitations associated with conventional carbon-steel systems and is well suited to humid underground infrastructure.
3D Wedge Mechanical Locking
A three-dimensional wedge and mechanical key-lock structure creates stable engagement between mating components rather than depending only on bolt tension.
Integrated Forming Without Weld Weakness
Integrated forming reduces weak points caused by conventional welding, riveting and bending processes while preserving material strength.
High Fatigue Resistance
The embedded channel system has been tested for 2 million fatigue cycles, supporting application in infrastructure exposed to long-term dynamic loading.
More Than an Aluminum Strut Channel
The system integrates anchorage, mechanical connection, load-bearing profiles, pipe restraint and seismic components into one prefabricated support architecture.

Connection engagement relies significantly on bolt clamping force.
Referenced embedded-channel fatigue performance: approximately 500,000 cycles.
Lonsonstrut Aluminum System
Integrated embedded channel and high-strength aluminum support profile.
3D wedge and mechanical key-lock structure creates positive mechanical engagement.
Embedded-channel fatigue performance tested to 2,000,000 cycles.

Fatigue Test Cycles
2 million tested cycles compared with approximately 500,000 cycles for the referenced conventional embedded channel.
Slip Resistance
Mechanical key-lock geometry significantly improves resistance to longitudinal displacement.
Wedge Locking
Mechanical engagement comes from mating geometry rather than relying only on bolt clamping force.
Eddy-Current Loss
Non-ferromagnetic aluminum avoids the eddy-current losses associated with conventional steel support structures.
Comparison values above are based on the structural comparison and test information contained in our aluminum prefabricated support system technical documentation. Project-specific performance should be confirmed against engineering drawings, load calculations and applicable project standards.
