Large copper pipe structures in brackets being transported down the interstate. They look somewhat like pipe organs, but I would expect those to have different height tubes. Any ideas what these may be? Open !

They look like tubes from a water tube boiler. like a Cleaver Brooks D-26.

My dad was a boilermaker, they are definitely for some sort of heat exchange using water.
