DECKHAND® HEAD UNITS
DECKHAND® ARM ACCESSORIES
PIPELINE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
Pipe Arm (PA, PAL, and PAXL) and Interchangeable Pipe Arm (IPA, IPAM) feature multiple sizes to suit your specific pipe requirements. Our Pipe Arm line consists of several arms designed for specific large pipe diameters. Interchangeable Pipe Arms include multiple tips per arm housing for precision gripping of smaller diameter pipe. Maintain a positive grip in the sun, rain and snow with arms that won't damage coated pipe.

Why Choose the DECKHAND® System?
“My rental experiences had made me a believer. DECKHAND® saved labor and prevented incidents. Fewer workers also meant fewer challenges. Instead of splitting time between vacuum lifts in the summer and cranes in the winter, along came DECKHAND® which was viable not only during the winter months but 365 days a year.”
