Pipeline installation apparatus and method
A machine which transports and positions joints of line pipe has a trailer member having at least two ground engaging wheels and a distributor box disposed within the trailer member. The distributor box has a top, a bottom, a front and a back, where a longitudinal axis is defined between the front and the back. A shaft is rotationally supported between the front and the back, where the shaft has an axis coinciding with the longitudinal axis. A plurality of spaced-apart disks are mounted on the rotatable shaft, where each disk has a plurality of slots radially extending to a circumferential edge of the disk, where each slot is open-ended at the circumferential edge and each disk of the plurality of spaced-apart disks has a slot in axial alignment with a slot of the other spaced-apart disks. The group of the axially aligned slots is adapted to receive a joint of the line pipe. A conveyor is at the bottom of the distributor box, so configured that as the rotatable shaft turns, the conveyor is adapted to receive the joint of line pipe dropping from the group of the axially aligned slots and feed the joint of line pipe out of an opening at the back of the trailer member.
