Abstract
A pipe support system includes a pair of leg supports spaced apart from one another. Each of the pair of leg supports includes an elongated base and a column. The pipe support system also includes a strut coupled to each column of the pair of leg supports and at a first height above the elongated bases. A support platform coupled to each column of the pair of leg supports and at a second height above the elongated bases. The support platform defines a longitudinal axis, and the second height is different from the first height. The pipe support system further includes one or more rollers coupled to the support platform. The one or more rollers are disposed around the support platform and rotatable around the longitudinal axis.
Claims7
A pipe support system comprising:
- a first leg support including:
- a first column;
- and
- a first elongated base coupled to a first end of the first column;
- a second leg support including:
- a second column;
- and
- a second elongated base coupled to a second end of the second column, wherein the second elongated base is separate from the first elongated base;
- a strut, removably coupled to each of the first column and the second column;
- a support platform coupled to the first column and the second column;
- at least one disk co-axially coupled to the support platform;
- at least two rollers co-axially coupled to the support platform, wherein the at least one disk is disposed between the at least two rollers and wherein the at least one disk extends radially from the support platform farther than the at least two rollers;
- wherein the first elongated base and second elongated base each has a length that is greater than or equal to a distance between the first leg support and the second leg support;
- wherein the strut, the first column, and second column are aligned in a common reference plane;
- and
- wherein the support platform is offset from the reference plane.
A pipe support system comprising:
- a pair of leg supports spaced apart from one another, wherein a first leg support of the pair of leg supports comprises a first column coupled to a first elongated base, and a second leg support comprises a second column coupled to a second elongated base, and the first elongated base is separate from the second elongated base;
- a support platform coupled to the first and second columns of the pair of leg supports;
- at least two rollers co-axially coupled to the support platform;
- at least one disk co-axially coupled to the support platform and disposed between two rollers of the at least two rollers, wherein the at least one disk extends radially from the support platform farther than the at least two rollers;
- a strut, removably coupled to the first column and second column;
- wherein longitudinal axes of the first column, second column, and the strut are substantially coplanar in a reference plane;
- and
- wherein a longitudinal axis of the support platform is offset from the reference plane.
