Pipe Cradles
Ragglestick cradles allow for much more efficient packaging of pipe and other cylindrical products
21 pipes Here is a diagram of a stack of 21 pipes in a pyramid stack | 36 pipes Same base with but 36 stacked squarely one on top of the other. Made possible with ragglesticks between each row. |
36 pipes versus 21 – 71% more in the same footprint using the patented ragglesticks!

PVC RAGGLESTICKS allow pyramid stack to be changed into square stacks or rectangular stacks at significant increases in payloads. They also may permit double stacking of skids. Ship more pipe per truckload.
There are other benefits which will accrue to you which are hard to put a dollar value on, such as no packaging frames needed to build bundles, easier to teach new employees your packaging design, no waste from rotting or breaking lumber, positive printed identification of size, easier to do mixed size loads, etc.
You do not have a choice about shipping air on the
inside of pipes, but you do on the outside.
PVC Ragglesticks are thinner so you can stack the
layers of pipe closer and ship more per bundle.
