What Are Pipe Stands?
You would be surprised to hear that this isn’t an uncommon question here at GBC from some of our clients. Many traders have gotten by with their pipe cutting or pipe welding by using whatever surfaces they have available.
A pipe stand is the opposite of that impromptu idea. They are specially designed adjustable stands that hold and secure lengths of pipe ready for welding or preparation. They come in a range of sizes, with adjustable heads or special locking mechanisms to keep your pipework consistent.
These Are Our Top 5 Best Pipe Stands for the Workshop
These pipe stands may not fit every situation, but as workshop tools, they cover most of the needs an operator might have.
PJ4 Multi Stand
When it comes to robust workshop tools, the PJ4 Multi Stand is one to consider. Height-adjustable, the PJ4 features two fine adjusters and independently adjustable wheel heads to ensure maximum versatility.
The headpiece has a useful feature of being a ‘bolt-on ’, which can be removed easily and used as a floor or bench-mounted unit for added options. With a maximum load of 2000 kilograms, this pipe stand can tolerate a wide range of pipe diameters.
PJ3 High Pipe Stand
The PJ3 High Pipe Stand offers one of the tallest options among pipe stands. With a three-leg construction, it is both stable and easy to set up even in confined spaces. So, if you need a pipe stand that works in the workshop and can be deployed to sites with restricted space, this stand is perfect.
With a comprehensive range of head options and an easily collapsible design that allows for quick storage, it is an excellent option for those who need to conserve space in their workshop. It lets you make the most of your workspace, whether you are pipe cutting or pipe welding.
PJ3 Pipe Jacks
The PJ3 Pipe Jacks have been a staple at GBC for some time. With adjustable head options and optional covers, these pipe stands make for excellent workshop tools. No more so than for being an affordable option amongst the variety of pipe stands on the market.
This has made it viable to afford several PJ3s, allowing for more extensive pipework fabrication and works at once. With the opportunity to use multiple pipe stands, you can easily increase productivity by taking advantage of the time saved by setting up multiple pipe sections at once.
PJQ Stand
For those working with large-diameter pipe and heavy wall, the PJQ stand is the perfect choice. Sturdy and fitted with a large Vee head, this stand opens up the opportunity to work on some of the larger diameters used in the industry. Making it an effective addition to your workshop tools.
For pipe welding or pipe cutting, the PJQ stand’s construction makes it the most durable and versatile pipe stand on the market.
Mega Pipe Stands
The Mega Pipe Stands are a great addition to the GBC range of pipe stands and to any workshop. When it comes to safety when working on the largest pipe diameters, we could hardly recommend a better option.
With a load capacity of up to 3175 kilograms and a maximum pipe diameter of 48 inches, these stands suit the toughest workshop jobs.
The heavy-duty polyurethane-over-steel wheels have sealed bearings for smooth pipe rotation, making work a breeze. The twin heavy-duty solid acme rods also ensure precise height adjustment, even under load. This significantly improves operations with these large, heavy-duty pipes.
