ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for making up threaded pipeline joints includes conventional casing tongs supported on a truck for movement between a stowed position and an operative position over the side of the truck with the axis of rotation of the casing tongs being generally horizontal. A roller on the front of the truck is raised or lowered by an extensible motor controlled by the tong operator to align the pin end of the joint to be made up with the collar of the made up pipeline. The operator manipulates the support to position the casing tongs over a pipeline joint to be made up and rotates the tong dies to rotate the pipeline joint.
