Van Pipe Tube Carriers: Secure and Protect Your Pipes on the Move

When transporting pipes, tubes, or conduit materials, keeping them secure is important. Whether you're a plumber, electrician, or tradesperson, you need a reliable solution to ensure your materials arrive at the job site intact. That's where van pipe carriers come in.

Why Use a Van Pipe Tube Carrier?

A van pipe tube carrier is an essential piece of kit for tradespeople transporting longer items that won’t fit inside the vehicle. They mount securely onto your van roof, providing a safe and enclosed space for your pipe tubes or conduit.

Here’s why they’re worth considering:

• Protection from Damage: Keeps your pipes safe from bending, denting, or weather damage.

• Increased Storage Space: Frees up space inside the van for other tools and materials.

• Improved Security: Lockable end caps prevent theft.

Different types of Pipe Tube Carriers for Vans

Depending on your requirements, there are different types of pipe carriers to choose from:

1. Standard Pipe Carriers:
   Ideal for carrying conduit and small-diameter pipes. Available in 2m and 3m lengths.

2. Van Guard Pipe Tubes:
   Manufactured from aluminium or steel, these high-quality pipe carriers come with secure locking systems and heavy-duty end caps to prevent theft or loss of materials.

3. Custom Pipe Tubes:
   For those with unique requirements, custom-length carriers can be built to suit various materials and pipe sizes.

Things to think about when choosing a pipe tube carrier

When choosing a pipe carrier for your van, consider these factors:

• Material: Aluminium is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, while steel offers extra durability.

• Locking Mechanism: Look for carriers with lockable end caps to secure valuable materials. Our pipe tubes are supplied with key lockable caps.

• Mounting Options: Ensure compatibility with your van roof rack or roof bar system. We are always happy to advise.

Fitting Pipe Tube Carrier to Your Van

Fitting a pipe tube carrier is straightforward, especially if you already have a roof rack or bars installed. Most carriers are supplied with U-bolts or fixing brackets, making installation quick and easy.

1. Position the Carrier: Align the carrier with the roof bars. It can be installed to one side.

2. Secure in Place: Use U-bolts or mounting brackets to fix the carrier. All fixings are supplied with our pipe tubes.

3. Check Stability: Ensure the carrier is securely mounted and won’t move during transit. Always check fixings prior to driving the van.
