Line pipe tray
A line pipe tray for supporting a line pipe is provided, the line pipe tray having parallel outer sidewalls operatively coupled to parallel outer end walls, parallel inner side walls operatively coupled to the inner end walls sidewalls and a planar bottom surface extending the inner sidewalls and end walls to form a basin. The tray can further include pipe saddles on the top edges of the end walls and sidewalls. The tray can further include a pour lip on the end wall pipe saddles, and a recess on the end walls for receiving a pail or fluid container. Lifting handles cut through the end walls can further include a tab for hooking onto a pail or fluid container to keep it from slipping away when the tray is lifted and tilted to pour fluids from the basin into the pail.
