DECKHAND S Pipe Handler

The DECKHAND® S is a small, versatile excavator attachment engineered for safe, precise load handling across job sites. It mounts to most excavator brands (including wheeled excavators) and uses auxiliary hydraulics to lift, rotate, tilt, and place pipe, poles, casings, or mats, all from inside the cab—reducing on-ground risk and boosting productivity. Ideal where mobility or tight space access is required.

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.
