AR Aerial Platforms, the UK rental company, has added pipe-holding stands on several of its larger scissors. The stand weigh just 74 kg and will safely hold a number of 2, 3, 4 or 6 in diameter pipes. “The stand is designed to offer a safe alternative to some of the bad practices which sometimes occur - such as contractors balancing a number of heavy and unstable pipes on the hand rails of a scissor lift, or using a boom lift which is even more unsuitable for that type of task”, says AFI technical director Roger Thorington. The pipe stand gives a “small addition” to the rental rate.
