where to find securement equipment for pipe in Houston TX?

If you are headed to a pipe yard I doubt they will have pipe stakes, etc. Normally the trailer needs to be set up for a minimum 40" to 44" pipe stakes before they allow you in the yard.

Many places will require a minimum of nine 4x4's at 102", plus enough 2x4's to take care of additional layers on top of that.

Just having short pipe stakes that go into pipe stakes slots won't work. Many pipe loads will get right up to maximum height, depending on whether it is standard or heavyweight.

I'm assuming you are set up to haul a load for the oil patch. Other considerations are whether both of you have H2S monitors and FRC. You can't be allowed on a rig pad without them.

 

As for chock blocks, best method for securing is with a belly wrap on two ends of the bottom layer, and if the yard requires blocking the freight I use marine grade self tapping screws and a cordless impact drill. Much faster than banging with a hammer. BE SURE you take out the blocks before delivery. Most cases the forklift driver will have forks under the top layer if you unstrapped first, then your blocks and screws (or nails) are destroyed as they pull a multi ton layer off your deck.

 

I10 exit 783. Go north on Sheldon Rd. Turn left on Wallisville Rd. The little place on the immediate left west of the gas station sells hardwood dunnage and pipe stakes.

 

+1 This is where I got mine

 

Do you remember the name of the shop? I am having a brain fart. Nvm...Big Al's Oil and Diesel. 16850 Wallisville Rd.

 

I couldn't remember it either...I tried not to google it.....

I paid $120 for 4 pipe stakes....You may can get them cheaper at the big pawn shop over by the Loves on 610.

 

I'd rather avoid the circus.
