DECKHAND Gives You Total Control in Pipe Handling

Safer Jobsite Operations Keep Workers Out of Harm’s Way

DECKHAND® allows operators to lift, position, and place pipe with precision—all from inside the excavator cab. The result: faster cycle times, safer operations, and fewer people exposed to risk on the ground.

Engineered to handle pipe, casing, or other tubular materials of multiple diameters, DECKHAND adapts easily to infrastructure, energy, and water projects across Latin America.

Key Advantages of DECKHAND

  • Complete hydraulic control from the safety of the cab
  • Precise movement for improved productivity
  • Adaptable to a wide range of pipe diameters and job types
  • Proven durability in high-demand field conditions
  • Easy to learn and operate with onsite training

TONGHAND for Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)

Precision Torquing and Alignment for Improved Safety and Productivity

In horizontal directional drilling (HDD), precision is everything. The TONGHAND® Exit Side Wrench was designed to improve safety, speed, and control in exit side operations. Mounted to an excavator, TONGHAND allows operators to torque, align, and rotate drill pipe directly from the cab, eliminating manual handling and reducing the risk of injury.

Benefits for HDD Contractors

  • Hydraulic torque control with real-time operator feedback
  • Reduce downtime caused by damaged threads or misalignment
