APPARATUS FOR DEPLOYING WIRELINE

摘要

The invention relates to apparatus (10) for use in deploying slickline, wireline and the like. The apparatus (10) is truck mounted and comprises a slickline unit (12) mounted via a swivel on a truck bed (14), and a support arm (16) pivotally mounted on the unit. The arm (16) may be lifted from a horizontal transport position to a raised position by hydraulic rams, and is telescopic and may be extended to almost three times its retracted, transport length. In its extended configuration the arm (16) may support a pressure lubricator (18) and top and bottom pulleys (20, 22) from a support cable (17) which extends along the arm from a pulley (19) mounted on the lower end of the arm.
