Publication number: 20240043239Abstract: A system includes a drum assembly that includes a support bar having a first end and a second end, and a plurality of drum segments coupled to the support bar. The drum segments are movable between retracted and extended positions, and the drum assembly is configured to be disposed within an interior region of a coil of flexible pipe when the plurality of drum segments are in the retracted position. The system also includes a first containment flange coupled to the drum assembly at the first end, a second containment flange coupled to the drum assembly at the second end, a first coupling device configured to removably couple the first containment flange to the drum assembly, and a second coupling device configured to removably couple the second containment flange to the drum assembly. The first and second containment flanges are configured to contain the flexible pipe.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Ricardo Garcia, Jonathan Guerrero, Matthew Allen Hegler, John Leger, Matthew Lousteau, Juan Moreno, Jagtar Thethy, Alexander Lee Winn

Patent number: 11613443Abstract: A cradle apparatus and method for transporting and/or deploying a coil of pipe supported around a reel are disclosed. The cradle apparatus can include a first arm member and a second arm member each having a male segment and a female segment capable of telescopic movement. A first set of pipe reel engagement spools and a second set of pipe reel engagement spools can rotate to raise/lift a first flange and a second flange of the reel thereonto when the pipe reel is positioned between the first arm member and the second arm member and the proximal end and the distal end of the first arm member and the second arm member are brought closer together due to telescopic movement of the male and female segments.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Trinity Bay Equipment Holdings, LLCInventors: Matthew Hegler, John Leger, Alexander Lee Winn
