Abstract
When placing pipes, such as pipe sections, into a trench it is desirable to obviate the need for human intervention in an attempt to eliminate the potential for injury to operatives working in a trench caused by trench collapse. Disclosed herein is an automated device (101) having a retractable side boom (104,106) and an associated retractable descendent/downwardly extending boom. The device may further comprise a gripping assembly (108) which is capable of setting a pipe (110) gripped therein to a specific slope or gradient, thus allowing for maximum precision in for example a pipe laying process. The side and descendent booms are operable to deliver a pipe such as a pipe section into a trench.
