Product Description

We can’t believe jerry-rigged wooden or conductive metal cable trees were used for so long to keep dangerous electric cables elevated away from human contact. Those cord trees are made with conductive metal and wood (which conducts electricity when wet). That defeats the whole purpose of a cord or cable tower tree

We carefully innovated our Portable Electric Cable Support Tower to solve this problem and keep workers safe. NEC codes and OSHA regulations require all electric cables, cords, and hoses to be elevated away from possible human contact on a job site, preventing electric shock or tripping hazards. Extension cords in particular are a concern. They also cannot be laid directly on the ground, must be inspected before every use for damage, need to be properly grounded and rated for the intended load, and must be only a temporary power solution. Your company could be subject to substantial fines and lawsuits for not complying with these regulations, ranging from $16,131 to $161,131 per violation, depending on the severity and whether it’s a repeat violation (See OSHA regulations 29 CFR 1910.334(c)(3) and 29 CFR 1926.405(j)(1)(v)).

Our 100% American recycled rubber PECST is a one-of-a-kind innovated alternative to building your own wooden cable trees. You won’t find it anywhere else. Our PECSTs are so easy to install your grandparents could do it (though we don’t recommend that), and are just as easy to remove and relocate. They also won’t chip, warp, or spall in either the searing summer sun or the frigid cold of North American winters. They’ll withstand wind, rain, ice, or snow, and last for decades, reused at jobsite after jobsite.

Keep your workers safe because you can. It’s the right thing to do.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

What size pipe ramps do Rubberform manufacturer?

We have 3 size, a 2” pipe ramp that is designed to hold up to a Schedule 40 pipe, 2 ⅜” OD, however you could fit a 3” OD hose/pipe. 4”, for a 4” OD pipe or hose and a 1.5” hose ramp for a garden type hose.

What is the largest pipe or hose you can fit into your 2” pipe ramp?

Our 2” pipe ramp is designed to hold up to a Schedule 40 pipe, 2 ⅜” OD, however you could fit a 3” OD hose/pipe.

What is the largest pipe or hose you can put in the 4” pipe ramps?

Our pipe ramp was engineered for the Yelomine™ and Aquamine® pipes for water bypass relining projects, however our pipe ramp could fit up to a 4.5” pipe or hose.

Do the 2” or the 4” pipe ramps need to be anchored down?

That depends on the application and your requirement. Generally, they do not, just lay down and place your pipe or hose into the open slot. Our 2” pipe ramp weighs 36 pounds and our 4” pipe ramp set (2 ramps that interconnect and bolt together) weigh a total of XX pounds each and are generally stabilized by the newly patented dovetail connector. However, in municipal road uses, they should be screwed or moored in place so not to be dragged out of place. Please take note of vehicle ground clearance and make sure you use signage of a X” ground clearance needed to drive-over these “in-road” pipe and hose ramps. If they need to be anchored in place, we recommend the GRK’s RSS™ Rugged Structural Screw or similar mounting device.

Do your pipe ramps connect, side-by-side?

Our 2” pipe ramp does not however our 4” pipe ramp has a dovetail to hold together side by side. Just lay the 4” side-by-side, insert the dovetail in a row. The hard pipe you place underneath will also hold them in place. If needed on the 2”, screw together with a plate, screw down or moor in place by other means.

How many pounds of pressure can these pipe ramps withstand? Can a dump truck drive over your pipe ramps?

Our 2” pipe ramp are extruded with TPV Thermoplastic rubber and are construction rated. Our 4” is injected molded with TPO Thermoplastic Recycled Composite material and are construction rated. They have been tested and used daily with large construction vehicles and large emergency vehicles. However, the pipe or hose is set in from the top of the 2” and this pipe or will need to withstand the axle weight of the vehicle. The 4” has a tunnel and will not crust the pipe or hose.

Will your pipe ramps support the inserted pipe or hose?

On the 2” no, the pipe or hose will need to be strong enough to hold the axle weight. On the 4” yes, as the pipe or hose is in a tunnel. Our ramps will disburse and hold the pipe in place as the vehicle rolls over the ramp and inserted pipe. Please see RubberForm’s YouTube video for different vehicle demonstrations.

Your 4” pipe ramp set is shown as a 3-piece unit. What are all the pieces for?

Our 4” pipe ramp system consists of 2 ramps and one ramp interconnector piece that hold the 2 ramps together when the pipe or hose is inserted. The total weight of this ramp set is 84 pounds. The ramp pieces stay below the OSHA standard weight regulation for one man. These pieces easily fit together on-site and are ready for use in minutes.

What is the standard length of your 2” and 4” pipe ramps?

We extrude both the 2” and 4” pipe ramps in 36” (3’) sections. We can custom extrude up to 10’ if needed.

Why don’t I just use gravel and asphalt to cover the pipe during a waterline restoration project?

If your municipal project is in a mandated prevailing rate area, the first time you use our pipe ramps they will be paid for. Please email RubberForm (Sales@RubberForm.com) for our cost-justification spreadsheet so you can convince your municipality and or your team to use the RubberForm pipe ramp system.
