SmartSteer Automated Dolly Steering System

Buckingham Structural Moving Equipment, LLC has just released SmartSteer, a fully automated dolly steering system for rigging companies and house moving companies.  If you've ever moved something on hydraulic dollies, you can appreciate the advantages of a system that allows all steering functions to be controlled from a touchscreen controller and a wireless radio remote.  The SmartSteer system has multiple steering modes, including front end steer, rear end steer, crab steer, and rotation modes. SmartSteer offers the unprecedented ability to drive a dolly transporter around a corner in reverse, eliminating the need to rotate the transport dollies when changing direction. This video demonstrates some of the SmartSteer System capabilities in action. SmartSteer is certainly a revolutionary concept.  Call or email Buckingham Structural Moving Equipment today for a demonstration.

Used House Moving Dollies For Sale

Used House Moving Dollies can be a very worthwhile investment for an individual just getting started in the house moving business.  A new house moving coaster dolly is quite likely to be priced in the low twenty thousand dollar range, while used dollies can often be purchased for significantly less.  Used House Moving Dollies can often be purchased from companies that manufacture new dollies.  Companies upgrading to new dollies will often trade in their used dollies, and companies like Buckingham Structural Moving Equipment are glad to oblige. You don't typically find dealers that only specialize in used equipment.  Most times, used crib jacks, used unified jacking systems, or used power packs are available only at going-out-of-business sales or from house moving equipment companies like Buckingham.
Right now, for example, Buckingham Structural Moving Equipment is offering a pair of used Vogel Coaster Dollies for sale.  The dollies appear to be in excellent condition, and they're priced at Eleven Thousand Five Hundred per each, which is only slightly more than half of what new dollies would cost.

Moving Tugboats and Barges with Power Dollies

Buckingham Power Dollies are an excellent option for moving tugboats, barges, yachts, and almost any other type of vessel.  They can be used to move a newly built vessel into a dry dock for the initial launch, or to move a barge or tug out of a dry dock into a shop for repair.  Using dollies to move a vessel out of the dry dock for repair not only allows the repair work to take place under roof, but it also frees the dry dock for other repair jobs that might come up, particularly emergency jobs.  The additional income from having the dry dock available for use can easily pay for the cost of the dollies.
