Apparatus and methods for moving a tubular member to and from an elevated drilling rig floor. A support structure has an elongate indentation in its upper surface. A ramp assembly comprises telescoping assemblies having nested tubular elements extendable between retracted and deployed positions, thus forming a guide extending from the elongate indentation towards the drilling rig floor. Indexers may urge the tubular member towards or away from the elongate indentation. Kickers may urge the tubular member into or out of the elongate indentation, and may be operable via actuators which also operate the indexers.

La présente invention concerne des appareils et procédés destinés à déplacer un élément tubulaire vers et à partir du plancher de travail élevé d'un appareil de forage. Une structure de support comporte une rainure oblongue sur sa surface supérieure. Un ensemble rampe comprend des ensembles télescopiques possédant des éléments tubulaires imbriqués qui peuvent s'étendre entre des positions rétractée et déployée, formant ainsi un guidage qui s'étend de la rainure oblongue vers le plancher de travail de l'appareil de forage. Des dispositifs de déplacement à repère peuvent pousser l'élément tubulaire pour le rapprocher ou l'éloigner de la rainure oblongue. Des dispositifs de poussée peuvent pousser l'élément tubulaire dans ou hors de la rainure oblongue, et être utilisés par l'intermédiaire d'actionneurs qui font également fonctionner les dispositifs de déplacement à repère.
