Lifting and Storage
Stacking Stands
Pipe stands of the same size can be stacked a maximum two high to reduce the floor space needed for storage or
shipping.
First lower the boom fully on both units and move the trolley away from the HPU to make the unit more balanced.
Remove the guard rail from the unit that will stack on top by lifting up on the rail and pulling it out of its sockets
on the base frame. Place the guard rail in the unit that will be on the bottom in the sockets on the end of the frame
opposite the HPU. The bottom pipe stand will have two guard rails and the top pipe stand will have none.
Attach the lifting sling to or fork, the top pipe stand. Place it on top of the bottom unit so that both guard rails
engage the notches in the feet and the U brackets on the bottom of the frame. For shipping, the top unit must be
securely held down by straps so it won’t slip off in transit.
Two stacked pipe stands that are securely strapped or banded together may be lifted with a fork truck by forking
the bottom pipe stand. Do not exceed the lifting capacity or tipping capacity of the fork truck. The sling is for
lifting one stand only.

Lifting Sling Storage
The lifting sling is stored inside the trolley cross tube.
The 36-65 stand cross tube is long enough for the sling to be inserted straight. The 8-36 stand cross tube is shorter
so flex (do not kink) the cables in the middle to double them over and slide the cables into the tube. The tube end
has small holes which can be used to lock (not included) the sling to the tube to deter theft of the sling and/or
machine.
Do not use a damaged lifting sling. The sling is for lifting one stand only.
