If you’ve ever spent hours manually placing hangers in a building model, you know it’s one of those tasks that’s small in scope but massive in time. It’s the kind of necessary evil that bogs down even the most advanced MEP workflows.
That’s why DeWalt’s latest launch caught our attention: MSUITE Hangers, a brand-new automation tool built specifically to solve the pain of hanger modeling. And from what early adopters are saying, it’s doing exactly that and then some more.
But what exactly is MSUITE Hangers, and why should you care?
The Problem: Small Component, Huge Time Sink
Here’s a crazy stat: hangers make up only 5% of a BIM model… but can eat up 25% of modeling time. That’s a serious mismatch in effort vs. impact, and it’s a prime target for automation. Until now, though, most tools haven’t done much to make hanger placement less of a headache.
The Solution: MSUITE Hangers
DeWalt, already a heavyweight in jobsite technology as well as Mechanical Anchors and ToughWire Hanging System, they have reimagined the hanger modeling process from the ground up. MSUITE Hangers builds on its predecessor (HangerWorks Pro) with smarter automation, seamless integration, and serious time savings.
Here’s what it brings to the table:
Automated Hanger Placement
Drop in hangers that automatically adjust to changes in your model. No more chasing updates or manually reworking placements.
Streamlined Workflow
From automated field point generation to beam detection and clamp integration, MSUITE Hangers cuts out busywork so your team can stay focused on high-impact tasks.
Real-Time Modeling
Place hangers while you’re drawing MEP systems. It’s all integrated — no need to backtrack or re-coordinate across teams.
Trapeze Hanger Support
Whether you’re dealing with single-tier or multi-tier setups, MSUITE Hangers has the flexibility to handle complex configurations.
Why It Matters
This isn’t just about saving time (although that’s a big win). It’s about accuracy, consistency, and eliminating frustration from your modeling process. With MSUITE Hangers, DeWalt is giving contractors a tool that actually understands the way you work and then makes it easier.
The result? Faster modeling, fewer errors, and smoother collaboration across design and field teams.
MSUITE Hangers isn’t just an update, it’s a full-on upgrade to the way MEP contractors’ approach one of the most time-consuming parts of the modeling process. Whether you’re a BIM manager, project engineer, or field tech tired of the back-and-forth, this is the kind of tool that can actually move the needle.
