Smarter Pipe Carrier for Vans
Introducing the StorPro TOCARRY & CUBY PipeTubes
If you manage a commercial fleet or spend your workdays out of a van, you probably wonder, how can I maximise safety and efficiency on the job? One often overlooked piece of equipment is the pipe carrier. While it might not be the first thing on your checklist, choosing the right pipe carrier can make a big difference in protecting your materials, speeding up your workflow, and projecting a professional image.
That’s why we’ve introduced the StorPro TOCARRY and CUBY PipeTubes:
TOCARRY Pipetube and CUBY PipeTube
Whether you’re managing a fleet of commercial vehicles or fitting out your own van, these new storage solutions are designed to solve familiar problems — wasted space, poor access, and theft risk.
What Makes TOCARRY and CUBY Different?
At first glance, they might look like standard rooftop pipe carriers. But these pipe tubes are engineered with smart features that directly address the frustrations we’ve heard from UK electricians, plumbers, and van fleet operators.
StorPro TOCARRY Pipetube – Modular Pipe Control for Professionals
The TOCARRY pipe tube is designed to be fully customisable thanks to its divider-compatible interior. Designed from high-quality, corrosion-resistant aluminium, it’s built to withstand British weather without adding unnecessary weight to your vehicle.
What’s innovative?
You can divide the internal space into up to four separate compartments, making it ideal for separating different pipe types, sizes, or materials. Say goodbye to pipe rattle, tangles, and wasted time.
Best for:
Fleet managers and tradespeople who need organisation, speed, and theft protection on the go.
StorPro CUBY Pipetube – Compact & Easy Access Storage
Need quick access to shorter tubes? The CUBY is for you. This compact model comes with an internal puller kit, which means even the shortest pipes are easy to reach – no digging, no frustration.
What’s innovative?
That puller system. It saves time and makes daily work more efficient.
Best for:
Tradespeople who carry varied lengths and want fast, frustration-free access in tight working conditions.
Designed for Real-World Use
Both models share the same core strengths:
- Lockable End Caps – for maximum security in transit or overnight
- Weatherproof, Durable Aluminium Construction
- Fits Most UK Commercial Van Roof Racks
- Scratch-Resistant End Caps
- 78x15mm (CUBY) 108x15mm (TOCARRY) Capacity – built around standard UK pipe sizes

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a pipe tube for my van?
If you regularly transport copper, plastic, or conduit pipes, a pipe tube keeps them safe, dry, and organised. It prevents damage, saves space inside your van, and boosts professionalism when arriving at jobs.
How many pipes can a van pipe carrier hold?
It depends on the model. For example, the StorPro TOCARRY pipe tube can hold up to 108 x 15 mm pipes, while the compact CUBY model carries up to 78 x 15 mm pipes. That’s more capacity than many standard UK pipe carriers, often at the same or lower price.
What is the best way to store copper and plastic pipes in a van?
A dedicated pipe tube, such as the StorPro TOCARRY or CUBY, keeps copper and plastic pipes organised, secure, and protected from weather damage. Unlike loose storage, pipe tubes prevent rattling and speed up access.
Will pipe tubes fit my van?
StorPro pipe tubes are designed to fit most UK commercial van roof racks. Their weatherproof, lightweight aluminium construction ensures they are both practical and durable for everyday professional use.
Are van pipe tubes secure during transit and overnight?
Yes, but it depends on the design. Some standard carriers only have basic end caps, but both the StorPro TOCARRY and CUBY come with lockable end caps for maximum protection. This means your materials stay safe whether you’re driving between jobs or leaving the van parked overnight.
Do aluminium pipe tubes rust?
No. StorPro pipe tubes are built from corrosion-resistant aluminium, so they withstand harsh British weather without rusting.
What’s the advantage of a puller system in a pipe tube?
The puller system, included in the CUBY and available as an option for the TOCARRY, allows you to easily access shorter pipe lengths without having to dig or shake the tube, saving valuable time on site.
How do the StorPro pipe tubes improve access to shorter pipes?
These pipe tubes feature an internal puller kit that lets you quickly and effortlessly retrieve even the shortest pipes without digging through the tube. This saves time and reduces frustration on busy job sites.
