Abstract:
A method for handling pipe includes orienting a pipe having first and second ends so that the second end of the pipe is positioned vertically above the first end, and while the pipe is oriented with the second end positioned vertically above the first end, gripping onto the pipe proximate the first end with a lift jaw assembly that is coupled to a lift arm assembly. The pipe is vertically misaligned at a substantially non-zero misalignment angle relative to the first end of the pipe while gripping the pipe with the lift jaw assembly, wherein vertically misaligning the pipe includes rotating the lift jaw assembly relative to the lift arm assembly.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for handling drill pipe, the method comprising:\n gripping onto a drill pipe stand with a lift jaw assembly proximate a pin end of the drill pipe stand, wherein the lift jaw assembly is coupled to a lift arm assembly; lifting the pin end of the drill pipe stand with the lift arm assembly while gripping the drill pipe stand with the lift jaw assembly; and moving the pin end of the drill pipe stand horizontally while gripping the drill pipe stand with the lift jaw assembly, wherein a box end of the drill pipe stand is vertically misaligned by an angle greater than  0 \u00b0 relative to the pin end of the drill pipe stand and the lift jaw assembly is rotated relative to the lift arm assembly about a substantially horizontal axis while the pin end is being moved horizontally.
