Clé de sortie TONGHAND S

The TONGHAND®XS is a hydraulic excavator attachment that serves as the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) industry’s exit-side wrench and rod handler. It enables precision make/break of threaded drill rod, reamers, and pipe joints directly from the cab, eliminating unsafe torquing methods, removing personnel from working in danger zones, and boosting jobsite efficiency. Suitable for mini drill rig connection sizes. TONGHAND XS allows drill rod to be torqued and un-torqued with precision by a single operator from the comfort and safety of the excavator cab. The patented TongVise™ easily makes and breaks joints with guaranteed precision, delivering up to 30,000 ft-lbs of torque directly at the connection site. Telescoping roller arms are used to pick up drill rod (from 2.38-4.5 inches OD) and securely lift, tilt, shift, rotate and precisely position a single rod or drill string under the total control of the operator. Gull-wing arms instantly move out of the way for reamer and tooling swaps. TONGHAND XS works with reamers, adapter subs, and drill pipe connections from 2.38-4.38 inches OD. Mounting to any brand of excavator, the excavator’s auxiliary hydraulics safely and efficiently power the TONGHAND XS.

TONGHAND allows drill rod to be torqued and un-torqued with precision by a single operator from the comfort and safety of the excavator cab. The patented TongVise™ easily makes and breaks joints with guaranteed precision, delivering up to 120,000 ft-lbs of torque directly at the connection site. Telescoping roller arms are used to pick up drill rod (from 5-9 inches OD) and securely lift, tilt, shift, rotate and precisely position a single rod or drill string under the total control of the operator. Gull-wing arms instantly move out of the way for reamer and tooling swaps. TONGHAND works with reamers (up to 60 inches), adapter subs, and drill pipe connections from 6.5-10 inches OD, and can handle drill strings up to 10 joints in length. It mounts to any brand of excavator, the excavator’s auxiliary hydraulics safely and efficiently power the TONGHAND.

Purpose-built for horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and utility work, the DECKHAND® LT combines safety and cost efficiency for handling drill rod, pipe, and tooling. 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: • Utility Arm - Handles pipe, poles, I-beams, and casings in all weather conditions. Fast and efficient in vertical applications such as utility pole installation. • Directional Drilling Arm - Handles drill rod or uncoated pipe on and off trailers, rail cards, or pipe racks without disturbing adjacent pipe.

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.

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.
