PROPULSION PIPE CARRY-IN DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carry-in device of high practicability reducing the burden of propulsion pipe connecting work by a large margin without anxiety about noise and space on the ground. SOLUTION: A device for carrying propulsion pipes 12 into a propulsion axis position of a start shaft 13 with an initial pushing device 11 installed is provided with a stocker 21 for storing the propulsion pipes 12 inside the start shaft 13, holding mechanism 22 for holding the propulsion pipe 12 in the propulsion axis position, and transfer mechanism 23 for delivering the propulsion pipes 12, stored in the stocker 21, successively to the holding mechanism 22. The transfer mechanism 23 is provided with delivery means 37 for delivering the propulsion pipes 12 one by one from the stocker 21, and a slider 38 for moving the delivered propulsion pipe 12 along a propulsion direction into a position corresponding to the initial pushing device 11.
