DECKHAND® XL

Robust and reliable for the toughest jobs

Our biggest unit from the DECKHAND® lineup is a powerful partner in your toughest and most challenging pipeline and mining operations. With load-locking valves and total control capability from the excavator cab, DECKHAND® XL is the safest pipe handler for your crew.

DECKHAND® XL EXCAVATOR ATTACHMENT

With total load control for your heaviest pipe handling needs, the DECKHAND® XL is engineered around optimal safety allowing precise load handling and placement. The DHXL is the big boss when it comes to handling your most challenging projects involving pipeline and mining slurry pipe.

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.
