    摘要: It is disclosed a pig drive (110) and a pig drive system (100) for feeding a pig (120) into a pig kicker section of a pipe (200) and a method for using same.
    Wherein the pig drive (110) comprises:
    - a piston (111) with a radial direction and an axial direction;
    - a rod (112) connected to the piston (111) and extending in the axial direction of the piston (111),
    wherein the rod (112) has a distal end adapted to interface a pig (120);
    - a retainer (113) slidably connected to the rod (112) and adapted to interface a retainer abutment (132); and
    - a biasing device (114) arranged to bias the retainer (113) towards the distal end of the rod (112).
