Pipe stands are a critical piece of equipment wherever pipe work is being performed. Differing pipe sizes and materials may require different stands to meet support needs. Stands are most useful when job functions involving piping require specific anchoring or guiding. They’re also useful to absorb shock and hold certain load capacities. United Rentals has a full range of adjustable pipe stands, varying in capacity and style.
