Techniques for implementing a pipe transport system. The pipe transport system includes a tow vehicle that moves a pipe trailer on which a pipe segment is loaded, in which the pipe segment includes tubing that defines a pipe bore and a fluid conduit implemented in an annulus of the tubing, and the tow vehicle includes a ripper assembly having a ripper shank. Additionally, the pipe transport system includes a hitch assembly to be secured to the ripper shank of the tow vehicle to enable the tow vehicle to be coupled to a trailer coupler of a tongue assembly implemented on the pipe trailer.
