3 Single Heads on a Standard Pipe Stand?

[McMEnterpr]

^{Hello all,}

I have a bunch of single head machines and am mounting them on 2 and 3 head bars. Do you feel that 3 heads can be mounted safely on a standard pipe stand or do you go with a more sturdy type of stand?

As a side note, I have no idea what is going on with this font.

Thanks,

Brian

How does it feel to you Brian when you have 3 heads attached to the stand?

I have mounted 2, 25" two inch cap machines to a standard single pipe.

It will be OK.

I have many 3-head-NW60's on one inch pipe stands and never had a problem.

Thanks for the responses Kyle and Jax.

T-Bird, I've tried the "bump" test on a 3 head setup and the bottom portion of the stand lifts off the ground slightly, however, it does not tip over.

Certainly, a 3 head setup is at more risk for tipping over than a 2 head setup.

Despite that, I wanted to get other folks opinions on how a triple head has worked out for them. Anyone else want to weigh in?

Thanks,

Brian

You might get a J stand and mount two on top and two on the bottom. It would take up about the same space, they just cost more. It would be more stable and look like a mini rack.

If you can do it, go ahead, it is a cheaper way to go about upgrading without getting a rack stand or J-Stand that can run you 2-3 times what you would pay for a pipe plus a triple bar.
