Abstract
An overshot () for handling equipment () defining a spearhead point (). The overshot () includes: a substantially elongated overshot body (); a pair of lifting dogs () pivotally mounted to the overshot body () so as to be movable between a dog closed configuration and a dog open configuration; and a dog control element () operatively coupled to the lifting dogs () for selectively controlling the movement of the lifting dogs () between the dog closed and open configurations, the dog control element () being operable between an armed configuration, a locked configuration and a released configuration. In the armed configuration, the lifting dogs () are movable between the dog closed and open configurations for allowing insertion of the spearhead point () therebetween; in the locked configuration, the lifting dogs () are locked in the dog closed configuration; and in the released configuration, the lifting dogs () are positioned in the dog open configuration.
