A pipe coil skid comprises a plurality of beams affixably connected together to form a rectangular shaped base with a platform disposed within the base, the platform having a concave upward shape on its upward facing side when the skid sits on a horizontal surface such that the coil of pipe positioned upon the platform contacts the platform within the base. In other aspects, the pipe coil skid has an upward facing side generally corresponding to the outer circumferential shape of a coil of pipe. The beams and the platform may be formed of a steel material. The platform may be coated with a non-stick material or a rubberized material. The pipe coil skid may have a plurality of tie-down points for securing the coil of pipe. The pipe coil skid may have stackable corners disposed on the skids to enable stacking of pipe coil skids.
Nonlimiting embodiments including methods and apparatus are provided for moving coils of flexible pipe. A pipe coil lifting device comprises a superstructure having a pair of longitudinal channels attached to and forming sides of an outermost portion of the superstructure, a longitudinal central member extending between the channel portions, the superstructure having at least one cross-member perpendicular and attached to the central member and channel portions, and wherein the top of the superstructure forms a convex upper surface attached to the channel portions, central member and cross-members.

A pipe connector for connecting pipes that includes an elongate tubular body having an outer diameter, a sleeve disposed over the elongate tubular body, and a first wire ring. The elongate tubular body that has a groove formed on the outer diameter. The sleeve has a groove formed on an inner diameter that is spaced from a first end of the sleeve and is aligned with the groove of the elongate tubular member. The first wire ring is disposed within the groove of the elongate tubular body and within the groove of the sleeve such that the sleeve is coupled to the elongate tubular body by the first wire ring.
A drum assembly having a post, and first and second spoke frames. Each of the first and second spoke frames includes expandable spokes and immovable spokes, extending away from the post. Each expandable spoke includes a distal end movable between a retracted position and an extended position. A plurality of first drum segments each are mounted to the distal end of one of the expandable spokes of the first spoke frame and to the distal end of one of the expandable spokes of the second spoke frame. A plurality of second drum segments each mounted to an end of one of the immovable spokes of the first spoke frame and to an end of one of the immovable spokes of the second spoke frame. Mechanical actuators, extending between the post and either the expandable spokes or the first drum segments, move the expandable spokes between the retracted and extended positions.
A pipe end fitting assembly that includes an outer body having an outer surface, an inner surface defining a first bore, and an end surface, and an inner body having an inner surface defining a second bore and an outer surface. A portion of the inner body outer surface is secured to the outer body inner surface. A passage formed in the outer body includes a first portion extending from the end surface and parallel to the first bore, and a second portion extending from the outer body outer surface to the passage first portion. A pipe end is disposed around and secured to a portion of the inner body outer surface. A jacket is disposed around the pipe and has an end secured to the outer body outer surface. The passage portions are in fluid communication with each other and a space between the jacket and the pipe.
