Abstract

The invention provides a modular pipe handling system comprising a lift arm including a base member. The lift arm is pivotable between a horizontal and vertical position. The lift arm further comprises at least one clamping system for clamping a length of pipe to the lift arm, to allow movement of the pipe between the horizontal and vertical position. The base member includes a leveling system associated therewith for independent leveling of the base member. A positioning system may be used for positioning of the base member a predetermined distance from the drilling axis of a predetermined drilling rig. The positioning system positions the base member relative to a sub-base on which a drilling rig is positioned. The sub-base includes a rig indexing system for positioning of a drilling rig at a predetermined position thereon.
