A pair of oppositely located, co-operatively movable, segmented continuous belts (28; 29) are installed in an apparatus frame (21), each belt comprising a plurality of interconnected gripper shoe carriers (30) carried and movable by means of a pair of continuous belt drive chains (31; 32), wherein the carrier (30) has roller means (35) configured roll against an elongate counter-force member (37), a so-called skate, associated with the frame (21), wherein a gripper shoe (38; 52) is co-operative with each carrier (30) to positively engage the tubing (7), and wherein a pair of said counter-force members (37) being adapted to interact with a respective belt (28; 29). The counter-force member (37) has an elongate part (37′) and integral therewith a plurality of pairs of substantially V-shaped elements (37″) extending with their V-legs (37′″) laterally from oppositely located side edges of the elongate part (37′) towards an apex (37″″) of the V-shaped element.
