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.
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.
