Description

The flagship modular pipe handling attachment designed to grip, lift, rotate, and position pipe, poles, drill rod, and other materials directly from the excavator cab. Engineered to eliminate slings and taglines, this tool dramatically improves safety and control on pipeline, HDD, and utility jobsites.

The DECKHAND system is a modular design that consists of a main head unit that works in tandem with interchangeable arm attachments. The head unit mounts to any brand of excavator; the excavator’s auxiliary hydraulics then safely and efficiently power the system. Interchangeable arms are used to pick up pipe, poles, casings, or road mats and securely lift, lower, rotate, and tilt the load under the total control of the operator inside the excavator cab.

DECKHAND Arms:

• Pipe Arm - Handles pipe on and off trailers, rail cars, or pipe racks without disturbing adjacent pipe. Does not damage coatings. Available in individual pipe diameter sizes, in addition to an interchangeable style for small diameters and flexible materials.

• Utility Arm - Handles pipe, poles, I-beams, and casings in all weather conditions. Fast and efficient in vertical applications such as utility pole installation.

• Mat Arm - Designed to handle and position wood or composite road or swamp mats using interchangeable tines to adjust to different mat widths.

• Directional Drilling Arm - Handles drill rod or uncoated pipe on and off trailers, rail cards, or pipe racks without disturbing adjacent pipe.

• Roller Arm - Handles utility poles and pipe with the ability to rotate material in place for precise alignment during installation.
