Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de levage d'éléments tubulaires, comprenant au moins un premier dispositif de levage comportant une base, un mât fixé à la base et une flèche principale ayant une extrémité fixée et une extrémité libre. L'extrémité fixée de la flèche principale est fixée pivotante à un mât respectif. Un dispositif de levage est fourni pour lever et abaisser sélectivement la flèche principale. Une extrémité reçue d'une flèche d'extension est soutenue en coulissement par la flèche principale. La flèche d'extension est sélectivement extensible depuis l'extrémité libre de la flèche principale. Une extrémité terminale de la flèche d'extension soutient la tête porte-outil. Un second dispositif de levage peut également être fourni. Lorsqu'un élément tubulaire est situé sur les têtes porte-outil des dispositifs de levage, les dispositifs de levage sont surélevés par des dispositifs de levage. Des flèches d'extension sont étendues depuis le premier dispositif de levage et le second dispositif de levage pour soulever davantage et positionner l'élément tubulaire.
