Corné Willemsen explains: “Being on jobsites for over 25 years, we know safety is very important. Besides our units, we believe that safety products are just as important to our customers. In LaValley we found the perfect partner. We can’t wait for our customers to experience the safety benefits.”
As a SiteTec representative in North America, LaValley Industries will offer a range of SiteTec products to customers invested in promoting an environmental friendly approach to horizontal directional drilling. With the complete range of electrical operating mix, recycle, storage and pump units.
“Our core values of promoting safety while increasing jobsite production is the driving force behind our products. We see these same core values in SiteTec as their commitment to safety and providing environmentally friendly products speaks to the overall philosophy of their company. We are honoured to collaborate with the SiteTec team as we partner together to continue advancing our industry.” says Jason LaValley.
“We believe that we can both strengthen our position by not just selling and representing each other’s products, but also by sharing knowledge and learning from experience in different continents.”
LaValley Deckhand
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 centre position, allowing maximum control in areas with tight accessibility.
