AFI launch Pipe stand

AFI the UK based access rental company has launched a device for large scissor lifts and certain electric models, that holds lengths of pipe in place so that they can be lifted safely to the installation point.

The aim is to avoid a number of bad practices including the balancing of long tubes on the guardrails and was developed with input from a sprinkler installation contractor.

The AFI pipe stand for large scissor lifts

The pipe stand is constructed from alluminium and fits onto the deck of the scissor lift, it has a simple easy to use design and weighs 74kg.

It will take tubes with diameters of up to six inches (160mm) in special grooves with straps that keep them firmly held in place. The height of the stand is adjustable making it very easy to install long overhead runs of tubing.
