JET 5-Leg Pipe Jack Stand with Casters and Steel Rollers

Description

Welders fight pipe walk during rotation, so the JET JT1-2405 Pipe Jack Stand stabilizes round process piping up to 36in diameter. This five-leg mobile pipe stand supports 2,500 lbs across fabrication shops. Dual steel roller wheels permit steady pipe rotation during circumferential butt welds. Operators must lock the central acme screw collar tight before setting heavy pipe joints.

Fabricated heavy-wall square steel tubing forms the five-leg star base, reinforced with gusset plates to prevent tipping under offset pipe weight. The acme adjustment screw turns inside a cast steel collar equipped with a quick-release lock ring. Base stance dimensions span 28in wide by 28in deep, riding on five swivel casters. Total bare tool weight reaches 42 lbs.

Key Features of JET JT1-2405

Mechanical piping contractors buy JET JT1-2405 stands to position heavy process pipe spools and weld flanges without crane hold time. Trade-focused commercial pricing makes outfitting pipe shop bays practical and cost-effective.

• Rated vertical load capacity reaches 2,500 lbs to support thick-wall carbon steel and cast iron pipe.
• Five-leg wide base design provides superior stability compared to common three-leg folding stands.
• Steel roller wheels mounted on roller bearings allow smooth rotation during pipe welding passes.
• Acme adjustment screw adjusts roller head working height from 27in minimum to 42in maximum.
• Quick-locking retention collar holds height adjustment without slippage under heavy hammer strikes.
• Five heavy-duty swivel casters provide mobile transport of supported pipe sections between bays.
• Powder-coated steel tube construction resists weld spatter adhesion and outdoor yard corrosion.

Roller Bearing Drag Acme Thread Benchmarks

Loading a 2,500 lbs pipe section onto the steel rollers produces 12 lbs of rotational breakaway drag force. The solid steel acme adjustment screw deflects less than 0.020in under full rated vertical tonnage. Roller wheel bearings run true without radial play under repeated drop loads from shop overhead cranes. Height retention tests show zero collar slip under heavy vibration.

Pipe Shop Movement Acme Thread Lubrication

Moving this 42 lbs stand across smooth concrete requires 6 lbs of push effort when empty. The quick-lock screw ring drops into place with a swift hand spin. Do not buy this steel roller stand for mirror-polished stainless or titanium pipe without non-marring sleeves.

• Coat the central acme threaded screw column with dry graphite lubricant every 40 operating hours.
• Wipe weld spatter and grinding dust from the steel roller bearings every 10 hours of fab work.
• Inspect the five caster swivel race rings and grease with NLGI 2 grease every 90 days.
