Designed around optimal pipeline safety, the DECKHAND® Pipe Handling System by
LaValley Industries allows precise pipe handling and placement without the need for a
ground crew working in the vicinity of moving pipe. The DECKHAND consists of a main
operating head and a variety of grab arms and the system is designed to work safely in
inclement weather conditions, including snow and ice. CRC-Evans is now the Distributor
of the Deckhand Pipe Handling System. For more information go to
