Abstract

Apparatus for handling tubular members is provided with at least two gripping heads 8 arranged to grip a free end of the wall of a tubular member at respective spaced apart locations. The gripping heads each have a pair of rollers 19 and means 1 1, 14, 16, and 17 for urging the rollers towards each other to grip a free end of a wall of the tubular member. The means for urging the rollers together may include springs 16 arranged to urge a support 17 supporting the rollers relative to a profiled slot 1 1. The gripping heads 8 may be mounted on a support, such as a sleeve, arranged to be fitted over an end of a tubular member to be handled.
