Abstract:
A modular assembly for handling excavating equipment is disclosed. The assembly includes a first rotating table having a main body; one or more motors, each having a pinion, associated with the main body; a bearing having a fixed ring constrained to the main body and a movable ring that is coaxial and rotatable with respect to the fixed ring; a dragging sleeve integrally coupled with the movable ring coaxially to the bearing; a ring gear integrally and coaxially coupled with the dragging sleeve to engage with the pinion and be moved in rotation by the motors rotating integrally with the dragging sleeve and integrally with the movable ring. The assembly also has a second rotating table adapted to be coupled to a continuous excavating propeller; a plurality of accessories associated with the first rotating table so it can be coupled to a telescopic Kelly rod or to a continuous excavating propeller or to a casing and excavating pipe.

Claim (Index 12):
A method for converting an excavating machine from a first excavating configuration with a Kelly rod or from a second excavating configuration with a continuous excavating propeller to a third excavating configuration with a continuous cased excavating propeller, where said excavating machine comprises:\n a supporting machine body; a guide tower associated with said machine body; a modular handling assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein in said first excavating configuration said first rotating table is equipped with said wear sleeve for Kelly rods and in said second excavating configuration said first rotating table is equipped with said wear sleeve for Kelly rods and with said diameter adapter sleeve, said method comprising the steps of: disassembling said telescopic Kelly rod or said continuous excavating propeller from said first rotating table; disassembling the accessories of said plurality of accessories coupled to said first rotating table; coupling said wear sleeve for intubator to said dragging sleeve of said first rotating table; associating said second rotating table with said guide tower at the top of said first rotating table; associating hydraulic systems and a cable handling system with said second rotating table; associating said continuous excavating propeller with said second rotating table and a casing and excavating pipe with said first rotating table.
