Abstract
A tool for removing a stuck bit of a drilling device from the drilling medium in which it was being drilled is provided. The system generally comprises a frame, a hydraulic lift operably connected to the frame, and a lifting platform. Operating the hydraulic lifting device may cause a strut to move in a linear direction, which may cause the carriage to move in a linear direction. By moving the strut in linear direction such that the carriage extends beyond the length of the drilling device, the carriage may contact the drilling medium, which may cause a lifting force to be applied to the drilling device. A user may then use the carriage to move the drilling device to a new location.
Claims20
1) A transportation and elevation assist device comprising:
- a carriage comprising,
- a frame having a top portion and a bottom portion,
- at least one wheel connected to said bottom portion,
- at least one lifting platform connected to said bottom portion, and
- a hydraulic lift attached to said frame,
- wherein said hydraulic lift moves said top portion and said bottom portion about one another.
12) A transportation and elevation assist device comprising:
- a frame having a top portion and a bottom portion,
- a lifting device attachment element extending outwardly from said top portion,
- at least one wheel connected to said bottom portion, and
- at least one lifting platform connected to a base leg of said bottom portion.
18) A method of liberating a bit from material comprising:
- providing a tool having a bit stuck in a material,
- providing a transportation and elevation assist device comprising a frame having a hydraulic lift connection element, a tool connection element, an at least one wheel, and a lifting platform,
- providing a hydraulic lift,
- attaching said hydraulic lift to said frame via said hydraulic lift connection element,
- attaching said tool having said bit stuck in said material to said frame via said tool connection element, and
- activating said hydraulic lift such that force is exerted on said lifting platform and said bit is loosed from said material.
