Deckhand - Innovative Material Handling For Construction Projects

Engineered around optimal safety, the DECKHAND® by LaValley Industries allows precise load handling and placement without the need for a ground crew working in the vicinity of moving pipe, poles or road mats. DECKHAND® is designed to work safely in any weather condition, including wind, mud, snow and ice.

The DECKHAND® system is a modular design that consists of a main head unit used with a variety of interchangeable arms. The main head mounts to any brand of excavator—the excavator’s auxiliary hydraulics then safely and efficiently power the DECKHAND® system.

The 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. Arms can grip securely from an off center position, allowing maximum control in areas with tight accessibility.

Achieve controlled, 360° precision material handling—whatever the conditions—with the DECKHAND® family of modular material handling attachments.

Whether you handle pipe, drill rod, mats, or poles—find the right tools for your next job, right here.
