DECKHAND® L

Safe and secure grip when pipe handling

Living up to its mainline legacy, the DECKHAND®L is your choice for precision and safety in load handling and placement. Whether out on the right-of-way or in the railyard, this excavator attachment handles pipe and utility poles with ease.

DECKHAND® L EXCAVATOR ATTACHMENT

Engineered for optimal safety in mainline pipe handling, the DECKHAND® L outperforms all existing pipe handling attachments in all weather conditions - including wind, mud, snow, and ice. Allowing precise load handling and placement without placing your crew in the way of moving pipe, the DHL gives you a safe and secure grip every time.

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.
