LOAD RATINGS
Series VAP131 components support pipe sizes
1–24 inches/25.4–610 mm (11/2-foot/
0.5-meter to full, single 20-foot/6-meter random
lengths).
The load rating for VAP131R Hydraulic,
Adjustable Pipe Stands is 2000 pounds/
907 kilograms.
The load rating for VAP131F Hydraulic
Positioners is 1200 pounds/544 kilograms
with the wheels installed. The load rating for
VAP131F Hydraulic Positioners is
2000 pounds/907 kilograms without the wheels
installed.
The load rating for VAP131T Assembly Tables is
8000 pounds/3629 kilograms.
Ball transfers have a 700-pound/318 kilogram
load rating. Make sure an adequate number
of ball transfers are used to support the entire
length of pipe.
WARNING
• DO NOT exceed the load rating of Series
VAP131 components.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in serious personal injury, property damage,
and product damage.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
The VAP131R and VAP131F are available
in 120 VAC/12 amp and 220-volt/6-amp,
single-phase power.
EXTENSION CORD REQUIREMENTS
When pre-wired outlets are not available and
an extension cord must be used, it is important
to use the proper cord size (i.e. Conductor Size
American Wire Gauge). Cord size selection is
based upon product rating (amps) and cord
length (feet). Use of a cord size (gauge) thinner
than required will cause significant voltage drop
at the VAP131R or VAP131F during operation.
Voltage drops may cause damage to the
VAP131R or VAP131F, resulting in improper
operation.
NOTE:
It is acceptable to use a cord
size that is thicker than required.
The required cord sizes for cord lengths up to
and including 100 ft/31 m are listed in the table
below. Use of extension cords longer than 100
ft/31 m must be avoided.
