Abstract: This application describes a snubbing frame unit having a pair of telescoping hydraulic cylinders for moving a jack head towards and away from the snubbing base slips to snub a pipe through the snubbing unit. The hydraulic cylinders are parallel dual-acting three stage hydraulic cylinder rods and are spaced from an opening designed to be above a wellbore. In an embodiment, each cylinder has two bidirectional ports for quickly moving hydraulic fluid into and out of the cylinders. The telescoping three stage cylinders allows the snubbing frame to handle heavier pipe and higher pressures while facilitating quicker insertion with lighter pipes and lower pressure. The compact design allows the equipment to be easily transportable while providing sufficient space for equipment connected to the wellbore including blow out preventers. An attachable gin lift device allows pipe handling and insertion of pipe without the need for a mast assembly.
