Pecker Stand

[Tintan28]

Just for the record I have no problems in this area personally!

Does anyone know if/where you can buy a stand for my hydraulic breakers, similar to the one in the photo?

I appreciate that a fabricator could probably knock one together no bother but they are hard to motivate & expensive around here to do anything other than their standard stuff & I am no a welder.

Could buy a nice little inverter for half the cost of the stand. They don't take long to learn and are endlessly useful. Always a good skill to learn

A lot are just a flat plate with a big tube in them, or a hole in the floor.. personally I prefer to lay them down on the floor - much easier to pickup/put down , real pain upright on a stand , especially with a quick hitch!

I thought you were supposed to store them vertical though

Had mine since 2006 and it’s been fine, only been gassed once.

I agree buy a decent little welder and good helmet and play and once you get the hang of it you will wonder how you managed without one I am always using mine and I have been retired 10 years
I worked for Ben Wyatt and winter time he would get a few of us in the yard ether fitting or welding he's saying was" anyone can weld just that some are a lot a lot better than others"

Yeah I've never stored mine upright either bit I thought It got mentioned on here a while back.

Was probably by one of the vegans… they love an upright pecker……

All ours are laying flat, yard lads make enough of a balls of picking them up with them laying down, would be wholesale carnage if they had to try and get them out of a rack.

 

[HuntingHicap]

Bph who are an attachments company store all theirs on the flat as well.

there was a reason for upright storage given ... IIRC it was something to do with water ingress rusting internal components ? ... Nigel? @Dr pecker

Mines four years old, not needed gas. stored indoors

Was gonna make a stand for my one now it takes up more space but that one in the op looks a bit OTT

It's to stop water sitting in the housing mine will hold a good bit of it's rained while it's on its back it runs out the bottom when I pick it up

Advisable to stand upright rather than lay down as sometimes when its laying down lets say for a few months the weight of the piston has been known to distort the seals especially if they are composites. Also when you store upright over the winter months, remove the return hose so the piston can be stored as high as possible in the breaker. This prevents any rusting on the lower section of the piston.
