24 inch TuffStand
TuffStand — The Gorilla on the Right-of-Way
TuffStand is engineered to be the toughest, safest pipe-stand solution in the oil & gas industry. This single-injection-moulded product uses patent-pending design features and advanced resin technology to bring a new standard of performance.
Made from a single injection mold, the DuraPlas TuffStand represents a step forward in pipeline construction technology. Its lightweight yet robust construction uses high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials to deliver a support system that’s easier to handle, reduces freight costs, and lasts far longer than traditional timber skids.
24″ TUFFSTAND: TS24-ST TN
The 24” TuffStand is capable of handling up to 24” pipe diameters and has set the bar as the new industry standard. As the only pipe stand in the industry manufactured with Super-Tough Nylon Resin, the 24” TuffStand supported over 75,000 lbs* in a controlled testing facility! The first-of-its-kind design and top grade Super-Tough Nylon allow our 24″ TuffStand to carry a workload 3X more than any other plastic 24″ stand.
With the 24” TuffStand, you can tackle larger pipe projects while saving money on freight, labor, and time.
*Tests were completed in a controlled environment on flat surfaces under perfect conditions. *Do not exceed maximum load limit of 10,500 lbs.
Why choose TuffStand over traditional timber skids
While timber pipe supports have been used on pipeline construction sites for decades, they can be costly, take time to freight and set up, and pose a safety risk due to their weight and the manual handling required. The DuraPlas TuffStand is engineered to eliminate those issues.
- Built for strength, not decay
Wood breaks down over time — cracking, rotting, or warping when exposed to water, sunlight, and chemicals. TuffStand, on the other hand, is made from single-molded, high-density polyethylene and super-tough nylon, materials that are corrosion-resistant and weatherproof. It maintains structural integrity and stability, even in harsh environments.
- Lightweight yet heavy-duty
Timber skids are cumbersome and heavy to transport and reposition. Each 12 inch TuffStand weighs only 12.9 kg, making it easy for crews to handle and move without machinery, while still supporting impressive loads.
- Enhanced safety and stability
Timber supports can splinter, shift, or collapse under uneven weight distribution. The TuffStand’s wide square base and angled sidewalls deliver superior ground contact and load distribution, reducing the risk of rolling or tipping. That means a safer, more predictable work environment for crews on the ground.
- Consistent and reusable
Every TuffStand is precision-molded for uniform size and strength. Unlike wood, there’s no variability between stands, no nails or bolts to replace, and no risk of hidden weaknesses. After a job is completed, the TuffStands can be reused repeatedly with minimal wear — providing long-term value and less waste.
- Lower total cost of ownership
Factoring in freight, handling, disposal and replacement, timber skids can be expensive. TuffStand’s light weight, long lifespan, and reusability make it a smarter investment that pays off across multiple projects.
