Pipe Stands & Wheels

Pipe Stands and Wheels

Pipe stands are designed to support pipes during welding operations and installation. These stands play a crucial role in ensuring that pipes are held securely and at the correct height and angle to allow precise and efficient welding. Pipe stands can help you improve welding accuracy, increase productivity, and reduce operator fatigue. 

Engweld stocks various pipe stands in various designs and configurations to accommodate the diverse needs of welding projects. They are versatile and suitable for various welding applications, including pipeline welding, fabrication projects, and industrial maintenance tasks. 

Pipe stands are typically constructed from durable materials to withstand the heat and stress associated with welding. Sturdy construction contributes to the stability of the stand, preventing any unwanted movement during the welding process. 

Here are some of the features to look out for and factors to consider when choosing a pipe stand:

• Adjustable height: many pipe stands are equipped with adjustable height mechanisms such as the KPJH-100-B pipe stand that offers a height range of 28” to 49”. This feature allows welders to position the pipe at an optimal height for welding, reducing strain on the operator and improving the overall welding accuracy. 
• V-Roller technology: Some stands incorporate V-shaped rollers that cradle cylindrical pipes. This design helps prevent the pipe from rolling during the welding process, ensuring stability and accuracy in the weld. Engweld stocks a V-shaped wheel kit set KPJH-302 Steel, KPJH-303 Stainless Steel, and KPJH-304-Nylon. 
• Roller stands: pipe stands with smooth-rolling rollers facilitate the rotation of pipes. This is particularly useful when dealing with long or heavy pipes, allowing for easy manipulation and access to different sections of the pipe during welding. KPDR-400C-1 pipe stand is equipped with self-align rollers.
• Cradle support: certain stands have a cradle-like design to provide comprehensive support along the entire length of the pipe. This ensures that the pipe is securely held in place, minimising the risk of misalignment during welding. 
• Safety features: certain pipe stands may include safety features such as locking mechanisms to ensure that pipe remains securely in place, reducing the risk of accidents.  

Engweld also offers a comprehensive range of pipe stand wheels. These are components or attachments designed to be part of a pipe stand. The wheels are specifically added to provide mobility and ease of movement for the pipe stand, allowing users to transport pipes or reposition the stand without the need for lifting or manual carrying. 

At Engweld, we also supply pipe clamps and welding positioners. Pipe clamps can help you hold the pipe in one place and precise alignment and stability allow you to achieve accurate and high-quality welds. Welding positioners are used in welding to manipulate the orientation of a workpiece. It helps in achieving optimal welding positions by rotating or tilting the workpiece, making it easier for welders to access various angles.
