V-Head Pipe Stand with Folding Legs and 2,500 lb Capacity
Product Overview
Supporting pipe during threading, welding, or grooving on a mobile job site requires a stand that sets up fast and packs down for the truck. The Reed JFV pipe jack is a folding pipe stand with a V-head cradle, adjustable height from 28 to 49 inches, and 2,500 lb capacity. A patented internal safety stop creates a 1-inch zone that prevents hand injuries during adjustment.
Folding Pipe Stand Features
- Patented Internal Safety Stop. The height-adjusting screw locks at a 1-inch gap above the hardened steel locking ring, preventing hands and fingers from being crushed during adjustment. Most v-head pipe stand models in this price range use a simple locking washer. The JFV adds a physical barrier that keeps the gap open regardless of how fast the screw is lowered.
- Folding Tripod Legs with Carrying Handle. The tripod base folds flat for transport and storage. At 25 lbs with a centered carrying handle, this folding pipe jack moves between job sites without a dolly. Rounded feet add stability on concrete, asphalt, and uneven ground.
- 2,500 lb Capacity with Alternate Heads. The JFV supports pipe from 1/8 to 24 inches on its V-head cradle and accepts roller or flat-top alternate heads for different pipe work. As an adjustable pipe support stand rated at 2,500 lbs, it handles heavy commercial and industrial pipe runs without deflection.
