of a jack system 100 jack system 100 provides a bottom plate 1 and a top plate 3 separated by cylinders 2 cylinders 2 may be hydraulically operated to extend or retract a rod provided within each cylinder 2 thereby allowing cylinders 2 to modify the distance between bottom plate 1 and top plate 3 while the implementation shown provides four cylinders other implementations may utilize two cylinders or more slip bowl assemblies 17 a 17 b may be actuated to grip or release a tubular pipe tubing or the like when actuated to gripping position the slips of a slip bowl assemblies 17 a 17 b secures a tubular when actuated to a released position tubulars may move without interference from slip assemblies 17 a 17 b while the slip bowl assemblies discussed provide a single slip bowl it will be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art that the slip bowl assemblies may provide multiple slip bowls for pushing or pulling tubulars slip bowl assembly 17 a coupled to top plate 3 moves up or down with top plate 3 when cylinders 2 are extended or retracted however slip bowl assembly 17 b placed on or secured to bottom plate 1 with slide plate 16 may remain stationary during operation of jack system 100 by engaging a tubular with slip bowl assembly 17 a and leaving slip bowl assembly 17 b disengaged.
