Modular Framing with Motion Performance That Moves Your World

Forget everything you know about modular framing systems. No more clunky T-slot lookalikes. No more “that’ll do” hacks. iSTRUT® isn’t here to fit in — it’s here to transform your workspace into a functional playground of motion, performance, and adaptability. If you’ve ever wished your build system could move like a crane, flex like a gymnast, and still hold industrial-grade weight like a beast, welcome home. This is a motion-ready design, built to solve real-world manufacturing challenges with zero welding, zero limits.

Welcome to the era of industrial LEGO for grown-ups.

So, What Is iSTRUT®?

Meet your new favorite build-anything toolkit.

iSTRUT® is a modular aluminum structural framing system that goes far beyond traditional T-slot systems. It uses tube clamps, barrel nuts, plates, and intelligent extrusion profiles to create high-performance builds that move — literally. Whether it’s a crane, automation cell, or mobile display, iSTRUT® enables fluid integration of both structure and motion.

Why It Matters: Built for the Modern Manufacturing Floor

Old-school framing is static. iSTRUT® is engineered to evolve with your environment. Whether your team is scaling production, experimenting with automation, or redesigning workflow for safety and efficiency, iSTRUT® lets you pivot fast — no cutting, no welding, no regret.

With iSTRUT®, your production floor becomes your playground. Build it today. Reconfigure it tomorrow. Scale it next quarter. Welcome to modular freedom.

Designed for Engineers. Loved by Operators

iSTRUT® was created with engineering-grade performance and frontline usability in mind. This isn’t just about how it connects — it’s about how it works under real pressure:

  • Simple – The outer flange offers quick, powerful clamping
  • Smart – The seamless tubular runways integrate with trolleys for real motion
  • Tough – A 45° load-bearing design delivers superior weight-to-strength ratios
  • Adaptable – Build anything: enclosures, cranes, conveyors, benches, lifters, and more

Not Just Modular. Modular With Motion

Motion is where iSTRUT® leaves T-slot in the dust. With integrated Trolley Systems, you can move tools, products, and payloads along your framing with precision. Combine this with clamping systems designed for rugged repeat performance, and you’ve got a fully dynamic system that works with your team, not against them.

Who Is iSTRUT® For?

Whether you’re building a crane kit, an automation cell, or a rolling display unit for your next trade show, iSTRUT® doesn’t ask Can you build it? It dares you to dream bigger.

You’ve got the vision. We’ve got the skeleton.
Let’s connect the bones.

  • Engineers who demand precision and flexibility
  • Manufacturers who need scalable solutions fast
  • Facilities managers looking to optimize space and reduce downtime
  • Automation pros are integrating motion into every part of the production process

iSTRUT® vs T-Slot: It’s Not Even Close

Feature iSTRUT® Traditional T-Slot
Load Distribution 45° tube design = superior Limited, flat beam design
Motion Integration Seamless trolley systems Requires add-ons
Assembly Flexibility Rebuilds fast without welding Static once built
Aesthetics Clean, seamless profile Industrial, dated look
Speed to Build Clamp, bolt, done Tool-heavy, time-consuming

Bottom Line: You Dream It. You Build It

With iSTRUT®, your ideas aren’t locked behind welding tables or production bottlenecks. They’re one clamp, one bolt, one kit away from reality. Whether you’re designing a crane system or automating a line, you’re not just building — you’re evolving.

Let’s build a future that moves. Together.
