A tong assembly having a powered tong mounted over a backup tong is supported at its rear by a post with torque measuring means. The powered tong is supported at its front, near its throat, by one or more struts that extend downwardly to the backup tong. Such strut (s) provide support for the powered tong when the assembly is placed on a support surface for storage. The struts each have a joint with a retracted condition in which the joint is rigid when the tong is placed on a support surface, and an extended condition in which the joint allows a degree of lateral displacement when the tong assembly is applying torque to a pipe string. This maximizes the amount of torque passing through the rearward post, and therefore ensures a more accurate sensing of applied torque by the torque-measuring device.

Un ensemble de pince muni d'une pince à moteur montée sur une pince de secours est soutenu à l'arrière par un poteau avec un dispositif de mesure de couple. La pince à moteur est soutenue à l'avant, près de la gorge, par une ou plusieurs entretoises qui se prolongent de manière descendante vers la pince de secours. Ces entretoises fournissent un soutien à la pince à moteur si l'ensemble est placé sur une surface de soutien pour entreposage. Chaque entretoise est munie d'un joint avec un état de rétraction dans lequel le joint est rigide si la pince est placée sur une surface de soutien, et un état de prolongement dans lequel le joint permet un degré de déplacement latéral si l'ensemble de pince applique un couple à un train de tiges, ce qui maximise la quantité de couple traversant le poteau, et par conséquent assure une détection plus précise du couple appliqué par le dispositif de mesure de couple.
