Abstract
Disclosed is a rig for working on wells, and including a generally two-legged mast, with each leg constructed with a traveling pole telescoping about and along a gin pole. The mast may be so extended by means of a chain drive mounted on the traveling legs of the mast. Hydraulically-operated slips selectively lock each traveling leg to the respective gin pole to prevent the former from sliding down the latter. The mast may be lowered to, and raised from, a generally horizontal configuration for transport on a truck. A snubber, or other pipe gripping apparatus, may be suspended by the mast and folded under the mast as the mast is moved to a horizontal configuration. With the mast erect, a control console may be elevated by means of a winch line supported by the mast. The mast may be mounted on a skid carried by a truck, with the skid movable relative to the truck bed for the purpose of aligning the mast relative to a well.
