Plastic V-Block 750x100x100 mm for Pipes, Shafts & Round Bars
The Plastic V-Block 750x100x100 mm is a robust, reusable and CNC-machined storage prism for the safe storage, positioning and transport securing of pipes, shafts, round bars, rolls, coils and other cylindrical materials. This version is manufactured from a solid plastic bar 100×100 mm and features two outer V-grooves.
Compared with a short single support, the 750 mm version provides a longer, stable support unit. The two outer V-grooves create defined support areas for round material and help to store pipes, shafts, round bars or rolls in an organised way. The component does not rest uncontrolled on a flat surface, but is guided in the shaped grooves.
A clean and defined support is especially important for longer components, pipe sections, shafts, bar stock or rolls. Otherwise, round material can roll, slip sideways, collide with other parts or tip in an uncontrolled manner when a pallet is moved. The Plastic V-Block 750x100x100 mm supports structured storage, makes handling easier and improves preparation for transport, shipping and internal logistics.
Stop unstructured pipe, shaft and round bar storage
In many companies, pipes, shafts and round bars are still stored using improvised solutions. They often rest on wooden strips, timber supports, rubber mats, pallets or directly in transport frames. These solutions are quick to implement, but rarely provide long-term process reliability. Round material does not have a natural standing surface and reacts sensitively to inclination, vibration, stacking pressure or uneven supports.
The Plastic V-Block 750x100x100 mm solves this problem with a simple but effective geometry. The two outer V-grooves support the round material and reduce uncontrolled movement. This creates two defined support points within one long solid plastic bar.
This is particularly useful when components are repeatedly stored, picked, transported or prepared for production processes. The support position remains clearly defined, removal becomes easier and the storage area appears much more structured. For longer pipes or shafts, several storage prisms can also be used in a row or in pairs.
CNC-machined from solid plastic bar 100×100 mm
This version is manufactured from a solid plastic bar with a 100×100 mm cross-section and then CNC-machined. The V-grooves are cleanly machined from the solid material. This creates a stable, dimensionally accurate and load-bearing storage prism for recurring industrial applications.
The storage prism is not assembled from thin sheet material and is not a simple disposable support. The solid design ensures that the component can be used as a robust storage aid, positioning aid or supporting component for transport preparation and load securing.
CNC machining is particularly useful when a repeatable solution is required. V-angle, radii, groove width, support surface, drill holes or additional machining can be adapted depending on the application. This allows storage prisms to be manufactured to match pipe diameter, shaft diameter, component weight and operating environment.

Why two outer V-grooves are useful
The two outer V-grooves create two defined support areas within one storage prism. This allows round material to be positioned in a more organised way than on a simple flat support surface. Depending on the application, pipes, shafts, round bars or rolls can be guided, stored or prepared for further transport on the V-grooves.
The arrangement of the grooves is particularly practical when several components need to be supported separately or when a longer support unit is required. The storage prism can be used individually or combined with additional prisms. Several storage prisms can be arranged in a row to support longer components evenly.
This design can also be useful for storage on pallets, in transport frames, in pallet boxes or within pallet collars. The shaped supports create order, reduce uncontrolled movement and make it easier to repeat the same storage or transport processes.
Safely support pipes, shafts and round material
Pipes, shafts and round bars do not have a natural standing surface. They are cylindrical and can move quickly due to vibration, inclination or uneven load distribution. Without a defined support, they can roll apart, collide with each other during removal or damage sensitive surfaces.
The Plastic V-Block 750x100x100 mm provides a stable and clearly structured support for this purpose. Component-friendly storage is especially important for aluminium tubes, stainless steel tubes, plastic pipes, coated pipes or sensitive surfaces. The plastic support is splinter-free and less aggressive than metal supports or rough wood.
Depending on the pipe length, two or more storage prisms can be used. For longer pipes, an even distribution of the support points along the pipe length is recommended. For smaller pipe bundles or individual pipe sections, the storage prism can serve as a simple, robust and reusable storage aid.
Safely store shafts, round bars and bar stock
Shafts, axles, round bars and precision-machined round parts place high demands on storage. Ground, turned or coated surfaces should not be unnecessarily stressed or damaged. Even small scratches, pressure marks or impact marks can lead to rework, complaints or rejects.
Plastic V-blocks are a practical alternative to metal supports, improvised wooden blocks or simple wedges in this application. The material is dimensionally stable and robust, while at the same time being more component-friendly than hard metal edges. The V-grooves ensure that the round material rests in a more controlled position and does not roll sideways in an uncontrolled manner.
Round bars and bar stock can also be organised more effectively with defined support points. Different diameters, materials and lengths can quickly lead to unstructured storage if fixed support points are not available. The Plastic V-Block 750x100x100 mm helps to store bar stock, round bars and shafts in a structured way and makes them easier to remove when needed.
Rolls, coils and cylindrical components
In addition to pipes, shafts and round bars, rolls, smaller coils and other cylindrical components can also benefit from a shaped support. Depending on weight, diameter and application area, the storage prism can be used as a positioning aid, intermediate support or supporting component for transport preparation.
For larger coils, heavy rolls or particularly sensitive components, the geometry, material thickness, support surface and securing concept should be checked individually. Plastic Union manufactures storage prisms according to drawings, sketches, photos, component diameters or specific process requirements.
Load securing and transport preparation
In the storage and transport of round material, preventing uncontrolled movement is essential. Pipes, shafts, round bars or rolls must not shift, roll or tip in an uncontrolled manner during transport. A plastic V-block can provide an important supporting function because it creates defined support points and guides the round material geometrically.
Important: A storage prism does not replace a complete load securing assessment. The specific securing method always depends on the load, weight, vehicle, friction values, lashing equipment, packaging, centre of gravity and transport conditions. In practice, storage prisms are often combined with pallets, pallet collars, lashing straps, anti-slip mats, wedges or other securing elements.
As professional background, the established rules and guidance on load securing can be used here. For example, the VDI 2700 guideline on load securing on road vehicles provides relevant information. In addition, BG Verkehr provides information on load distribution and load securing.
The Plastic V-Block 750x100x100 mm should therefore be understood as a component for structured storage and transport preparation. It supports safe positioning, but does not replace the necessary assessment of the entire transport and securing situation.
Plastic V-Blocks as part of a complete transport and storage solution
A plastic V-block is rarely just a single component. In practice, it is often used as part of a larger storage, transport or reusable logistics solution. Especially for pipes, shafts, round bars, rolls, coils and cylindrical components, a simple flat support surface is often not sufficient. The round material must be supported in a defined position, protected against uncontrolled rolling and integrated into an existing transport structure.
The Plastic V-Block 750x100x100 mm with two outer V-grooves can be combined with different load carriers. These include plastic pallets, plastic pallet collars, pallet boxes, plastic containers, transport frames, plastic pallet layer pads, separator sheets, anti-slip areas and other securing elements.
On a pallet, the storage prism creates defined support points. In combination with a pallet collar, this can create a protected transport and storage unit. Pallet layer pads or anti-slip separator sheets can also help to separate product layers, improve friction values and keep components organised. Plastic stacking corners, stacking aids or pallet frames can in turn help to use multiple levels more safely and in a more structured way.
For buyers, logistics managers and packaging planners, this system-based approach is important. It is not only about the individual storage prism, but about the question: how is the component stored, moved, picked, shipped and reused? Plastic Union can therefore consider storage prisms as part of a larger solution – matched to pallet format, component diameter, weight, surface requirements, packaging concept and transport route.
Pallets as load carriers for storage prisms
Plastic pallets are suitable as stable, reusable load carriers for storage prisms. The storage prism can be placed loosely on the pallet, positioned or, depending on the application, structurally integrated. In recurring processes, a fixed combination of pallet, storage prism and component can be useful so that pipes, shafts or round bars are always transported or temporarily stored in the same position.
Especially with longer pipes or shafts, several prisms are used along the length of the component. The pallet provides the basic function as a load carrier, while the storage prism forms the geometric support for the round material. This creates a combination of load-bearing base structure and defined V-block support.
Depending on the goods, different pallet formats may be relevant. For compact components, half pallets or smaller custom formats may be sufficient. For longer pipes, heavy shafts or larger component groups, Euro pallets, industrial pallets or custom plastic pallets may be more suitable. The decisive factors are component length, weight, stackability, material handling equipment, shipping route and available storage space.
Pallet collars as protection and containment elements
Plastic pallet collars can usefully complement storage prisms when the round material should not only be supported, but also protected at the sides or combined into a transport unit. A pallet collar extends the pallet upwards and creates a contained load unit. This allows sensitive components to be better enclosed, protected against slipping out sideways and transported in a more organised way.
Especially in reusable processes, the combination of plastic pallet, storage prism and pallet collar is interesting. The pallet forms the base, the storage prism supports the round material, and the pallet collar protects the goods during circulating transport. If required, additional layer pads, anti-slip mats, straps or inserts can be added.
For components with sensitive surfaces, such a system can offer clear advantages. Pipes, shafts, rolls or coils do not rest directly on the pallet, but in a defined plastic support. At the same time, the pallet collar prevents the goods from lying exposed and unprotected in storage or during internal transport.
Pallet layer pads, separator sheets and anti-slip areas
Pallet layer pads and separator sheets can also be used when several product layers need to be separated from one another or surfaces need to be protected. With round material, the aim is often to reduce contact points, separate components from each other and create a clean structure within the transport unit.
In combination with the plastic V-block, layer pads can help to build up different component levels. The storage prisms provide the shaped support, while layer pads or separator sheets separate the levels from one another. For sensitive surfaces, soft layer pads, rubber inserts or anti-slip areas can also be checked.
The specific application is always decisive. Weight, diameter, surface sensitivity, packaging, transport route and load securing must be considered together. A storage prism can provide an important geometric basis, but does not replace the assessment of the overall securing concept.
Why plastic instead of wood?
Wood is used in many companies as a simple storage aid. It is available, inexpensive and quick to cut to size. However, for recurring industrial applications, wood has clear disadvantages. It can splinter, absorb moisture, become contaminated, deform and lose stability after repeated use.
A CNC-machined plastic V-block is much more reproducible. The V-grooves are manufactured specifically for the application, the material is splinter-free and the support can be reused multiple times. Especially in reusable processes, shipping or recurring storage operations, this repeatability is a major advantage.
Plastic is also often easier to handle in clean storage areas or production environments. There are no wood splinters, no loose fibres and no constantly changing improvised cut-to-size supports. The storage prism remains a defined component and can be used again and again.
Why plastic instead of metal?
Metal supports are load-bearing, but they are not always component-friendly. With sensitive pipes, shafts or coated components, a hard metal edge can quickly cause scratches or pressure marks. In addition, depending on the environment, metal parts can corrode or require additional protective layers.
Plastic provides a practical middle ground. The material is robust and dimensionally stable, while at the same time being less aggressive towards sensitive surfaces. For many storage and transport processes, a plastic V-block is therefore an economical and practical solution. It combines stability, reusability and component protection in a simple component.
Custom manufacturing according to drawing, sketch or component diameter
The storage prism 750x100x100 mm with two outer V-grooves is one specific version. However, many applications require different dimensions, groove shapes or support geometries. Plastic Union therefore manufactures plastic V-blocks according to drawings, sketches, photos, component diameters or specific process requirements.
Other lengths, widths and heights, larger or smaller V-grooves, adapted radii, multiple supports, drill holes, blind holes, mounting points, milled recesses or rubber inserts are possible. Different material thicknesses and versions for heavy loads or special surface requirements are also possible.

Detailed application areas by industry
Mechanical engineering and plant engineering
In mechanical engineering and plant engineering, shafts, axles, pipes, guides, rolls, spindles, round bars and precision-machined components are regularly moved, temporarily stored and further processed. Many of these parts have sensitive surfaces or defined functional areas. An unsuitable support can quickly lead to scratches, pressure marks or damage.
The Plastic V-Block 750x100x100 mm provides a robust and repeatable support here. The two outer V-grooves create defined support points and support organised provision in the workshop, assembly, warehouse, quality assurance or shipping. Especially with recurring component groups, a standardised V-block support can simplify handling.
Metalworking, turning and milling
In metalworking, round material, blanks, shafts, axles and turned parts are often placed down between individual machining steps. Without a defined support, components can quickly lie in an unstructured way on workbenches, pallets or transport trolleys. This makes removal more difficult and increases the risk of surface damage.
A CNC-machined plastic V-block can be used as a simple but effective organising aid. It supports round material geometrically and ensures that components rest in a more controlled position. This makes processes in production, temporary storage, picking and internal transport clearer and more structured.
Steel trade, pipe trade and profile trade
In the steel trade, pipe trade and profile trade, different diameters, lengths, materials and orders must be clearly separated. Pipes, round bars, bar stock and profiles are often moved and temporarily stored in larger quantities. If fixed support points are not available, unstructured storage can quickly occur.
Plastic V-blocks create structured support points. They can help to separate material by diameter, order, customer or material type. In combination with pallets, transport frames or pallet collars, organised storage units can be created. This improves overview, access and process reliability in the warehouse.
Automotive and supplier industry
In the automotive industry and among suppliers, recurring transport and supply processes play an important role. Shafts, pipes, axles, rolls, sleeves and cylindrical components often need to be moved between production, warehouse, assembly and shipping. Order, component protection and repeatability are particularly important here.
Reusable plastic V-blocks can be used as part of reusable packaging, load carriers or internal transport solutions. The 750 mm version with two outer V-grooves is particularly suitable for applications where a longer V-block support is required or where several defined support points within one component are useful.
Logistics, shipping and reusable packaging
In logistics and shipping, goods must not only be stored, but also prepared for transport. Round material places special demands on handling because it does not have a natural standing surface. It can roll, tip or shift when the load unit is moved. A clean combination of storage prism, load carrier and securing elements is therefore important.
The storage prism can be used in combination with plastic pallets, pallet collars, pallet layer pads, anti-slip areas, straps or other securing elements. This creates reusable transport solutions that can be adapted to the component, weight, diameter and shipping process.
Workshop, maintenance and repair
Shafts, rolls, pipes and machine parts are also often placed down, checked or prepared temporarily in workshops and maintenance areas. A simple, stable V-block support makes work easier and reduces the risk of round material rolling away in an uncontrolled manner.
The Plastic V-Block 750x100x100 mm is particularly practical here because it is robust, reusable and flexible to use. It can be used on workbenches, pallets, transport trolleys or inside containers and serves as a quick but defined storage aid.
Plastics processing, packaging technology and custom solutions
In plastics processing, packaging technology and custom solutions, individual solutions are often required. Standard products are not always sufficient because component diameters, surfaces, weights or transport routes can vary greatly. This is exactly where CNC manufacturing of plastic V-blocks is useful.
Plastic Union can manufacture V-block supports according to drawings, sketches, photos, component diameters or process requirements. In addition to other lengths, widths and heights, adapted V-angles, radii, multiple grooves, drill holes, blind holes, mounting points, rubber inserts or anti-slip areas are also possible.
Economical in reusable applications
A plastic V-block is particularly economical when it is used regularly. While wooden blocks, cardboard supports or improvised cut-to-size pieces often need to be replaced, a storage prism made from solid material remains in long-term use. This reduces the effort required for repeated improvisations.
The economic benefit is not only created by a longer service life. Avoided damage, better organisation in the warehouse, faster handling and reproducible processes also play an important role. Especially with high-value components, preventing scratches or transport damage can quickly become more important than the pure purchase price of the V-block support.
