Last time we took a look at some of the pipe handling tools we offer through the McElroy Parts website like the PolyPorter Pipe Handler which allows a single person to easily load a length of pipe without having to necessarily worry about straining or injuring themselves. We’re continuing the focus on pipe tools but switching over to pipe stands.
Pipe stands are a highly effective way of reducing the wear and tear of machines, improving the overall fusion process while also lessening the strain on operators. These stands are designed to be adjustable to deal with scenarios where the terrain is uneven so that the pipe remains parallel to the machine.
Pipe stands are especially useful when pipelines need to be built, significantly boosting productivity. As opposed to moving the machine for each joint, workers need only pull the fused pipe through the machine and then roll in the new stick that will be fused. The pipe can remain a single location while the machine remains stationary.
