Abstract
The invention concerns equipment for storing and shipping pipes with several superposed pipe supports. To simplify manufacture and lower its costs and further to achieve versatility, the pipe supports (5) each comprise a long, integrated molding (120) with several cylindrical clearances (122, 124) present on two opposite sides, for several pipes, or several short assembled molded segments (2) with at least one cylindrical clearance (6,8) for the pipes, on opposite sides. The integral molding (120) and the molded parts (2) are provided with a central duct (10) extending between and transverse to the bilateral clearances and passing through the molding or the molded segments. The integral molded segments are plugged in geometrically locking manner onto a strip or a hollow shaped section (4). The intrgral molded segment (120) preferably is attached by injection molding to the hollow shaped section.
