What is the T-Stand?
The T-Stand is a double-sided support system in a “T” shape designed for vertical storage of injection mold plates. The 3 mm steel profile construction combines low weight with high load capacity, allowing the plates to stand securely without continuous use of an overhead crane.
Why choose the T-Stand?
| Feature | Your Benefit |
| Optimized crane use | Mold plates can be safely stored vertically, freeing up the crane for other production or maintenance tasks. |
| Double-sided, flexible mounting | Slotted holes in the vertical beam allow for quick adjustment to different mounting hole heights on the sides of the plates. |
| Clamp for plates without mounting holes | A special bracket can be mounted directly to the stand’s arm to safely hold plates without side holes. |
| Stability through T-shape | The wide steel base effectively prevents the mold from tipping. |
| Lightweight yet strong | 3 mm thick steel profiles ensure high load capacity while keeping the stand light and durable. |
| Available in standard and custom versions | Models with heights of 500 mm and 750 mm are available off the shelf; other sizes are made to order. |
Applications
T-Stands are used to support mold plates vertically during minor maintenance operations while allowing secure floor anchoring. This eliminates the need for crane support throughout the servicing process, significantly improving workflow efficiency.

Safety Recommendations
- Always use two T-Stands – one on each side of the plate.
- Tighten bolts in slotted holes with the torque recommended by the manufacturer.
- Anchor the base to the floor when necessary via the slotted base holes.
- Inspect visually before each use – if any damage or deformation is found, remove from service immediately.
FAQ – T-Stand
What is the T-Stand?
A double-sided T-shaped support system for vertically storing injection mold plates. Made of 3 mm steel profiles — lightweight yet strong, enabling stable support without crane use.
Why choose T-Stand instead of hanging molds from the crane?
- Free crane access – the mold stands on its own
- Flexible mounting – slotted holes accommodate most plate hole patterns
- Bracket option – safely holds plates without side holes
- Stable T-base – prevents tipping
- Plug & play design – no assembly or tools needed
What kind of plates can I mount on the T-Stand?
- Standard mold plates with side mounting holes
- Plates without holes – by using an additional bracket that attaches directly to the support arm
Do I always need to anchor the stand to the floor?
Not always. Anchoring through the slotted holes in the base is recommended for:
- Tall mold plates (> 750 mm)
- High-force maintenance operations
- Uneven or slippery floor surfaces
How does the “plug & play” installation work?
- Position two T-Stands on either side of the plate
- Slide bolts into the slotted vertical beam and tighten using a torque wrench
- (Optional) Anchor the base to the floor
- The mold is now securely positioned and the crane is free for other tasks
How do I ensure safe use of the T-Stand?
- Always use two stands (left + right)
- Tighten bolts with the correct torque
- Anchor when dealing with tall/heavy molds or high-force work
- Inspect visually before every use – remove from service if damaged
