Scaffolding Pipes - Shipyard and Dry Dock Equipment
Steel scaffolding pipes are used with couplers, fittings, and boards to create temporary access platforms, staging, handrails, and support structures in shipyards, dry docks, and onboard repair areas. They are typically galvanized carbon-steel tubes selected for the required load and working height.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Scaffolding Pipes for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.
