  8. Increase the Loading Capacity - Use HJ-7 Joint Set - #22 (July 2019)

    Add

    Reinforce your structure’s loading capacity by adding pipes using the HJ-7 joint sets. It also allows to create pipe shelves instead of using a top surface that would cost you hundreds of dollars. Pipe shelving allows a lot of flexibility as you can determine the distance between each tube according to the load and the volume of the equipment handled.
