The catcher is moveable relative to the tailing member. The system further includes a support structure coupled to the tailing member at one end and coupled to the trough at an opposite end. The support structure is configured to move the tailing member relative to the trough to guide a tubular from a substantially horizontal or slightly angled position to a substantially vertical position.
