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.ย 

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 itโ€™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 is the largest pipe or hose you can fit into your 2โ€ hose and pipe ramp?

Our 2โ€ hose and pipe ramp is designed to hold up to a Schedule 40 pipe, 2 โ…œโ€ OD, however you could fit a 3โ€ OD hose/pipe.

What is the largest pipe or hose you can put in the 4โ€ hose and pipe ramps?

Our pipe ramp was engineered for the Yelomineโ„ข and Aquamineยฎ pipes, however our pipe ramp can fit up to a 5โ€ pipe or hose.

Do the 2โ€ or the 4โ€ pipe and hose ramps need to be anchored down?

Generally, they do not, but that depends on the application and your requirements. Just lay down and place your pipe or hose into the open slot. Our 2โ€ pipe ramp weighs 36 pounds and our 4โ€ pipe ramp set (2 ramps and our interconnector) weighs a total of 84 pounds each and are stabilized by the inserted pipe. If they need to be anchored in place, we recommend the GRKโ€™s RSSโ„ข Rugged Structural Screw.

Do pipe or hose ramps connect?

There are no connector pieces, but they can be laid side-by-side in a row.

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

Our pipe ramps are extruded with EDPM rubber and are construction rated. They have been tested and used daily with large construction vehicles and large emergency vehicles.

Will your hose and pipe ramps support the inserted pipe or hose?

No, the pipe or hose will need to be strong enough to hold the weight. Our ramps will disburse and hold the pipe in place as the vehicle rolls over the ramp and inserted pipe.

Your 4โ€ hose and pipe ramp set are shown as a 3-piece unit. What are the pieces?

Our 4โ€ pipe and hose ramp system consist of 2 ramps and one ramp interconnector piece that holds 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 2โ€ and 4โ€ pipe ramps?

We extrude both our 2โ€ and 4โ€ pipe and hose ramps in 36โ€ (3โ€™) sections. We can custom extrude up to 10โ€™ if needed.

Why canโ€™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.
