Abstract
The present invention relates to a pipe handling assembly for use with a rod pushing and pulling machine in pipe bursting and pipe replacement operations. The assembly uses a rod transport assembly to transport a rod from a vertical receiving position to a horizontal receiving position. A rod transfer assembly then axially advances the rod in a horizontal receiving position to the rod pushing and pulling machine where the rod can be incorporated into a drill string. The rod handling assembly also can be used for transporting rods out of an excavation pit after they have been broken off from a rod string by a rod pushing and pulling machine.
