Patent ID: 7055609

Claim:
A system for handling tubing utilized in a wellbore, comprising: a framework; a securing system to hold a lower tubular member; an upper clamp to selectively grip an upper tubular member; a linear actuator connected to the upper clamp, the linear actuator being positioned to move the upper clamp towards or away from the securing system to assemble or disassemble the lower and upper tubular members; an extensible damper unit, having a spring and a damper system, connected in line with the upper tubular member, the extensible damper unit being sufficiently extensible to absorb full movement of the upper clamp toward the securing system; and a shoulder wrap removably coupled to the lower tubular member by engaging a plurality of recesses found in the lower tubular member, the shoulder wrap being in a position to abut a hanging plate such that the lower tubular member is suspended from the hanging plate.
