“Precision movement of pipe, until now, necessitated putting the ground crew in close proximity to moving pipe in order to line it up, stabilize it, and sometimes to clear it of snow or mud debris. Not anymore.”
Tony Fernandez, President
Pipeline Machinery International
This month's DECKHAND Photo Contest winner is Dave Barron!
Congratulations

"We had to add a tail string on the project. We had a DECKHAND in Nebraska on one side of the river and another one in South Dakota on the other side of the river. This system is the best new product for rig safety I've seen in a long time. It freed two men from the drill deck to get on other work. It is a lot safer than traditional systems using callipers, straps, or cables. It easily shaved two and a half weeks off our total project timeline."
Curt Curtis, Pipehandling Technician

“We were impressed with the DECKHAND operation and the unique design of the grab arms that allows for the secure hold and handing of the pipe without damaging it or the coatings in any way.”
Fred Siwak, Superintendent
Spectra Construction
“Keeping the ground crew away from that moving pipe is a great advantage. Not only are they kept safe from hazards, they are also freed up for other important work on the pipeline.”
Henry Yamauchi, Integrity Specialist
Spectra Energy
“From a contractor view, the safety and stability of the DECKHAND system is a big plus. We are particularly interested in a handling system that can work in all weather conditions.”
