securing pipe stands?

admin

I'm thinking about buying four pipe stands this Friday. They will be going on the back of my truck. And unfortunately I don't have a custom welding bed. I've seen people just push the v-head up to the Hoosier pole. But I'd like to be able to lock them as well. Any suggestions/pictures?

Reply:Weld a ring on them to run a cable/chain through.
Reply:I've been wondering why nobody makes the hoosier pole so it will drop down on the v and then lock in that position. If they are sitting on a vertical pipe they cant go anywhere.Lincolin Power Wave 450, Lincoln Powermig 255, Lincoln Pro Mig 140, Lincoln Squarewave Tig 275, Miller Big 40 G(with Hobart Hefty suitcase), Thermal Arc 95S and Esab PCM875 in an already full machine shop.
