Abstract
A system can include a base skid with a longitudinal recess, a first end of a lift arm slidably coupled to the base skid, and a carrier configured to transport a tubular and move between a stowed position and a deployed position, where a far end of the carrier is configured to engage a first contoured surface, and where a direction of an inertia of the far end of the carrier is changed in response to engagement with the first contoured surface. A method can include disposing a carrier in a base skid, translating a ramp end along a ramp, translating a far end along the base skid toward the ramp, and engaging the far end with a contoured surface that begins to lift the far end from the base skid.
