Depends what you mean by a 'Hilti'
I have a 'Hilti' which is a SDS power drill, and very effective it is too.
If by 'Hilti' you mean some form of explosive cartridge type nail gun, why
would you want to use one of those ?
Whats the problem with drilling a few holes and using either normal (but
large) screws or expansion bolts ?

I'd want to use threaded stud nails. Can be screwed
down if the nail doesn't penetrate enough (irregular/old
concrete), and can be unscrewed to remove rack.

The company I used to work for used a Hilti drill & anchors, to secure racks
to the floor. |

Chances are you may have to move the racks later. People add racks,
vertical wire managers, do all kinds of re-arrangements in their telecom
rooms. You would have more options if you've opted to use less permanent
way of immobilizing the racks.

I usually use tapcon screws (hex head) with an appropriate washer (if
needed). If you go this route, I recommend blowing out the holes with
compressed air before installing the screws. The tapping action of the
screws tends to build up debris in the holes, and the screws can bottom
out before they go in all the way. |
