Pipe Transport
We ave a specialist division for transporting large-diameter pipes for infrastructure projects which requires far more than simply loading and moving materials from point A to B.
With pipes made of steel, HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), and concrete, each with their own handling requirements, safe pipe transport is a specialised service that demands careful planning, professional execution, and strict adherence to safety standards.
At Crane Hire SA, we pride ourselves on offering a full spectrum of pipe logistics solutions, including lifting and transport, on-site stacking and storage, as well as pipe laying services.
The right equipment
Safe lifting starts with using the right equipment. Cranes, forklifts, or pipe handling attachments must be properly rated for the weight and size of the pipes being moved. Pipes should never be dragged or rolled in a way that could compromise their structure.
Lifting slings, padded clamps, or pipe hooks should be selected based on the pipe material. For example:
HDPE pipes can be scratched or gouged by chains or steel slings and require soft webbing slings.
Concrete pipes need even lifting support to prevent cracking. Steel pipes must be protected against surface damage and require non-abrasive lifting tools.
Pipe Transport specialists
Transporting pipes over long distances demands careful load planning and secure strapping. All pipes must be evenly distributed and firmly secured to prevent shifting, rolling, or falling during transit.
Our key safety practices
Using chocks or wedges to prevent round pipes from moving.
Placing protective padding between pipes and straps to prevent surface damage.
Spacing layers properly when pipes are stacked on the transport vehicle to prevent crushing or deformation.
Our drivers are all highly experienced and licensed to transport heavy or oversize loads and follow all local road safety regulations. Escort vehicles are provided for particularly long or wide loads.
On-site pipe stacking & storage
Safe lifting starts with using the right equipment. Cranes, forklifts, or pipe handling attachments like spreader beams for long pipes are all properly rated for the weight and size of the pipes being moved.
Lifting slings, padded clamps, or pipe hooks are selected based on the pipe material.
HDPE pipes can be scratched or gouged by chains or steel slings and require soft webbing slings.
Concrete pipes need even lifting support to prevent cracking using a combination of slings and spreader beams.
Steel pipes are protected against surface damage and require non-abrasive lifting tools and spreader beams for longer pipes.
