Abstract: A system for assembling drilling tubulars, comprising a tiering rack system configured to receive a plurality of sections of drilling tubulars and to selectively provide an individual drilling tubular section. A casing feed and bucking skid system coupled to the tiering rack system and configured to receive the individual drilling tubular section and to combine the individual drilling tubular section with a second individual drilling tubular section. A tubular delivery catwalk system coupled to the casing feed and bucking skid system and configured to receive the combined drilling tubular sections and to transport the combined drilling tubular sections to a drilling rig by elevating on at least two elevating supports.

Abstract: A system for moving equipment is disclosed. The system may include a platform having opposing first and second ends. A first roll end may be located at the first end of the platform. A first beam may be coupled to the first roll end at the first end of the platform. The system may also include a first mover coupled to the coupler. The first mover may include a first head, a first lift, and a first horizontal actuator. The first head may be coupled to the first beam and the first lift. The first lift may be coupled to the first horizontal actuator and the first mover may be configured to lift the platform vertically and move the platform horizontally.

Abstract: A tubular handling apparatus for a drilling system, a method for handling tubulars, and a drilling system. The apparatus includes a first trough configured to receive at least a first tubular and a second tubular, a first skate movable along the first trough and configured to engage a first end of the first tubular, and a second skate movable along the first trough and configured to engage a second end of the second tubular. The first and second skates are configured to push a third end of the first tubular into engagement with a fourth end of the second tubular in the first trough. The apparatus also includes a tongs configured to engage the first and second tubulars in the first trough and apply torque thereto.

Abstract: A method of assembling a drilling rig may include aligning a trailer with a drilling rig support structure, the trailer carrying a mast and the drilling rig support structure including a step-down substructure. A first end of the mast may be positioned over the drilling rig support structure and arms may be extended from the mast to the drilling rig support structure so that the drilling rig support structure supports the first end of the mast. The mast may translate along a length of the drilling rig support structure. The mast may be coupled to the drilling rig support structure.
