12″-36″ Hi-Temp (White) Plastic Pipe Stands

Proline Pipe Equipment Inc. invented the Plastic Pipe Stand over 25 years ago. Proline’s 12″ – 36″ stackable plastic pipe stand is the current “Superman” of the industry.  When designing this stand, Proline engineers gave it a “star” shape and that contributes to its strength.  Others have copied that design and followed suit.  These stands were tested on a third party press until they failed due to extreme pressure.  Increments of 5,000 lbs. (2,268 kg.) were applied.

When the weight reached 65,000 lbs. (29,480 kg.) there was no change in the stand.  So we went to 70,000 lbs.  At 75,000 lbs.  we saw a slight wave but the stand endured. So we went to 80,000 lbs. and more waves appeared.  We went to 90,000 and crushed the stand.   After 5 minutes, with the weight removed, the stand took back its shape.  That surprised us, so we decided to try weight on the damaged stand to see when it would fail.  We made it up to 65,000 lbs. on the damaged stand, before the waves returned.

We didn’t just test 1 stand.  We tested multiple stands and the results were the same.  We took the results of the tests and rated this stand with a 5:1 safe working load capacity.  Safety is our highest priority and Proline’s plastic pipe stands reflect that commitment. After the tests, we rated this pipe stand at 13,000 lbs. (5,897 kg.).
