ABSTRACT:
A system for transferring lengths of pipe laterally between a pipe rack and a pipe handling apparatus. the system comprises two spaced apart arms located on one side of the pipe handling apparatus next to the rack. Each arm has one end pivotally coupled to support structure such that its opposite end may move upward and downward. The two arms are located in line with each other for pivotal movement about generally parallel axes respectively. A trough capable of supporting a length of pipe is pivotally coupled to each of the arms at their opposite ends such that the trough will move upward and downward with the opposite ends of the arms. A rotary actuator is provided for tilting the trough laterally in opposite directions. In addition, two hydraulic cylinders provided for moving the arms about their axes respectively for moving the opposite ends of the arms and the trough upward and downward.
