LaValley "Deckhand"
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 offcenter position, allowing maximum control in areas with tight accessibility.
- Head unit mounts to any brand of excavator in the 18 to 75 metric ton range.
- 360° Continuous Rotation.
- In-Cab display allows operator to safely monitor and adjust all functions, working parameters, and hydraulic settings from inside the excavator or prime mover.
- Designed with load holding valves so that pipe is held securely regardless of hydraulic pressure.
- Main beam can tilt up to 15 degrees in either direction.
- Shift function allows Arms to shift up to 5.5 inches along the Main Beam.
- Powered by the auxiliary circuit on excavator or prime mover.
