Description
When you need to install or replace tubes, it’s extremely convenient to have all the tools you need at arm’s length. That’s why it’s nice to have a mobile pipe rack that you can push around a construction site. Just stack the tubes on the pipe rack, move them where you need to be, and you’re good to go.
At Lakeside-Hire, we hire easily manoeuvrable and collapsible pipe racks. Aside from keeping your pipes close to you while you’re working, our mobile pipe rack is an excellent storage solution if you work at a location with no or limited storage capacity.

Why Hire Pipe Racks?
If you’re still not sure if our pipe racks are ideal for you, here are the top reasons you should hire them:
Robust On-Site Storage
To make sure that all your materials are carefully organized, you need convenient storage solutions like our pipe rack. Here are some of its best storage features:
- High safe working load: Some pipe racks can only carry up to 1 ton at most. But at Lakeside-Hire, our racks have the capacity to store up to 2 tonnes.
- Good working height: Each pipe rack has a suitable height for moving and loading.
- Fully collapsible: Most pipe racks are fully folding and collapsible. Because of that, they can be easily stored when not in use.
- Modular design: Compared to installing permanent pipe racks at your location, hiring mobile pipe racks are more scalable. Whenever you need additional storage, you can just hire more racks as needed.
Easy To Manoeuvre
At Lakeside-Hire, our pipe racks can be easily transported, thanks to the following components:
- Wheeled design: All pipe racks come with heavy-duty caster wheels, making them roll easily on any smooth and flat surface. They also swivel in any direction for better manoeuvrability.
- Responsive brakes: Each pipe rack also comes with brakes. You can use this whenever you leave the rack unattended or when you’re rolling it on a slope.
Durable Materials
Pipe racks should be made with tough materials. At Lakeside-Hire, we hire pipe racks that boast of the following features:
- Impressive steel material thickness: Our pipe racks are made from heavy-duty steel. You’ll find that the steel material thickness is enough to safely store heavy piping materials and other tools.
- Powder-coated steel: Each rack’s load-bearing arms are powder coated for maximum protection. This prevents them from cracking or breaking when storing heavy materials.
Improve Workplace Safety And Productivity
Pipe racks improve your staff’s safety and productivity in the following ways:
- Keep materials in place: Stepping on pipes can cause serious injuries, especially if you’re just leaving them on the ground. With a mobile pipe rack, you can keep all your materials organized while keeping your staff safe.
- Less manual labour: Having a pipe rack makes work a lot easier for those who need to replace or install tubes. Thanks to this piece of equipment, your staff don’t have to manually carry pipes around the job site. This gives them more time and energy to do the work they were actually contracted to do!
What To Consider Before Getting Pipe Rack Hire
Hiring a mobile pipe rack can save you a lot of money. Instead of installing built-in racks at your worksite, you can simply get this low-cost and convenient storage solution.
But it’s important to keep in mind that not all pipe racks are made equal. Before you choose which pipe rack to hire, here are some factors you should consider:
Internal dimensions and lengths: Pipe racks are designed for specific tube lengths. At our company, we hire pipe racks that can store conduits that are 3m up to 6m in length.
- Weight: Weigh your piping materials before hiring pipe racks. Since each rack has a maximum capacity of 2 tonnes, you should order more pipe racks if your tubing materials exceed this weight.
- The number of pipes: Each rack can only hold up to six tubes in total. Hire more than one rack if you have more tubes in your facility.
Tips On Mobile Pipe Rack Safety
At our company, we take our customers’ safety quite seriously. Here are some ways you can ensure that you and your staff members are safe while handling the equipment:
- Read the safety instructions that come with each pipe.
- Do not exceed the safe working load (SWL).
- Have at least two people manoeuvre the rack.
- Avoid moving the rack when it is full.
- Avoid using the mobile pipe rack on rough surfaces.
- Spread pipes evenly throughout the load-bearing arms.
- Keep the brakes on if you are leaving the rack unattended.
- Use personal protective equipment when loading or unloading the rack.
- Do not stack more than six pipes on each rack.
- Check the load-bearing arms daily for any signs of damage.
- Ensure that the brakes are functioning well.
- Make sure there’s no debris or rubble on the wheels. Test if they’re turning freely.
