Telescoping torque reaction track device

A torque management system for a drilling operation comprising:

• a mobile unit having a support frame;
• a mast movably coupled with the support frame;
• a track handling device also coupled with the support frame, the track handling device further comprising:
• a rigid portion, the rigid portion further comprising an at least one fixed post;
• a movable portion coupled with the rigid portion, the movable portion comprising:
• a main support arm, the main support arm further comprising a main support arm top end and a main support arm bottom end configured with a boot;
• a driver arm movably coupled between the main support arm and the rigid portion;
• and
• a follower arm movably coupled between the main support arm top end and the main post top end;
• a track having a first track portion coupled with the boot and a second track portion coupled with the mast;
• a slider configured to move along each of the first track portion and the second track portion, the slider having a power swivel coupler extending therefrom, the power swivel coupler further comprising a coupler housing having a coupler end engaged therein;
• a bushing comprising a latch mechanism having one or more movable parts, the bushing movably disposed on the second track portion;
• and
• a power swivel configured to engage with the power swivel coupler,
• wherein the track handling device is configured to support both of a weight load and a torque incurred during operation of the power swivel,
• wherein at some point when the slider moves along the second track portion, the slider becomes engaged with the latch mechanism in a latched engaged position that comprises the slider and the bushing mechanically locked together, and
• wherein in the latched engaged position the coupler end and the power swivel are coupled together by a lug pin.

• and
• a boot coupler disposed on the main support arm bottom end;
• a track having a first track portion coupled with the boot coupler and a second track portion coupled with the second mast portion, the first track portion telescopingly engaged with the second track portion;
• a slider configured to move along each of the first track portion and the second track portion, the slider having a power swivel coupler extending therefrom;
• a bushing movably disposed on the second track portion the track, the bushing comprising a latch mechanism having one or more movable parts;
• and
• a power swivel, the power swivel having a torque arm configured to engage with the power swivel coupler,
• wherein at some point when the slider moves along the second track portion, the slider becomes engaged with the latch mechanism in a latched engaged position that comprises the slider and the bushing locked together,
• wherein in the latched engaged position the power swivel coupler and the torque arm are coupled together by a lug pin,
• wherein the first track portion has a first track dimension and the second track portion has a second track dimension, and
• wherein the first track dimension is larger than the second track dimension.
