A portable pipe irrigation system that is used primarily for temporary drip and sprinkler installations includes a unique trailer that comprises a platform which simplifies installation and removal of the irrigation system. The trailer is either self propelled or pulled by a tractor. A central portion of the trailer is of a sufficient length to accommodate pipe of various lengths and cross sections. The central portion of the trailer is referred to herein as the magazine. A work platform is located at either end of the magazine. These platforms allow workers to manipulate the pipe in the magazine and load the pipe into one of two installation chutes. The platforms also serve to store previously staged piping components. Catwalks are located on one or both sides of the magazine. If pipe is being installed from one side of the magazine, then only one catwalk is provided; if pipe is being installed from both sides of the magazine, then two catwalks are provided. The catwalks allow workers to walk safely and freely along the side of the magazine. The workers are responsible for assembling the pipe sections and placing them in position to be installed in the field (or to disassemble the pipe when it is removed from the field). Two chutes or channels are located on the platform at a comfortable work level, e.g. about waist level. The chutes or channels extend the length of the platform. A primary chute is located closest to the magazine and is fitted with a fixed stop on the front end and a pushing lever on the rear end. A secondary chute is provided for final assembly of the pipe sections. The secondary chute has a lever of a much longer radius that travels along the length of the chute. The two chutes define work areas where the pipe sections are assembled or disassembled. At the rear of the trailer/platform are outriggers that assist in the accurate placement of pipe in the field. 25
