The Transporter 1 Trailer

[Sara Legath]

NOPROJECT IS TOO SMALL OR TOO BIG! Eide Industries, Inc. is the one-stop manufacturer of durable transport trailer awnings and canopy systems for motorsport racing events, mobile marketing, hospitality suites, command centers, and emergency medical trailers. We combine the finest materials and metal components with in-house custom design, digital graphics, fabrication and installation services to produce reliable and iconic transport trailer shading systems.

We use advanced fabrics and fabric-welding processes on all top deck seams to enhance the appearance, allow for an expansive advertising display, and increase the strength for maximum weather protection. All our mobile canopy frames are manufactured using light-weight structural aluminum rafters and tubing with quick-release attachments for easy setup and takedown.

Marine Travelift self-propelled transporters are ideally suited to team up with our mobile boat hoists. Working with the two machines in conjunction allows you to move a greater number of boats, in the same amount of time!

All transporters come equipped with a wireless remote control to operate all the hydraulic functions on the machine. It gives the operator the flexibility to maneuver the transporter into tight places while observing the move from all angles. Backup controls are supplied at the engine or on an optional riders cab if the vessel needs to travel a longer distance.

For applications that require lifting of various size cradles, or wide beam mono hulls and catamarans, the variable width option is ideal. The option is available in single variable or double variable width depending on how wide the variation of vessels are at your yard.

Most models come standard with all-wheel steering which includes independent front and rear wheel controls. The operator can steer both sets of wheels to one side to obtain crab steering to 35 or more, allowing you to store boats as tight as possible and maximize the space at your facility.

Certain boats need to have at least some of their weight on the keel when lifted so keel beams are offered as an option. The most popular form is aluminum with frame sleeves, which is designed for fastest speed and least amount of labor. The beam resides in the frame of the machine and can be easily be pushed into place by hand. Independent keel beams on wheels are also available in both aluminum and steel. These can easily be wheeled into place and pinned on pick up legs.

This option includes a larger pump and engine to produce added speed in boat yards that have a greater distance between the loading and storage areas. This option is also used to produce additional power for yards that have above average slopes or softer surface material.

With this option the boat pads are fixed on the machine frame and raised into place by a hydraulic cylinder, allowing the operator to position the pads with the remote instead of manually raising them into place. A second pump helps increased the lifting and lowering speeds of the pads and they run at low pressure so there is no risk of damaging a vessels hull.

Flexible and versatile, the mechanical pads can be fixed or moveable to slide along the side beam to position the pads where they need to be. The angle of the pads are easily adjustable and can also be flipped to the outside of the frame for handling wider boats. The length is spring loaded to help lift into place and extensions can also be added for handling deep keel sailboats.

The option mounts self-leveling pads on hydraulic telescoping arms which can rotate 180 allowing the pads to meet many different hull types. The angle and telescoping length are adjusted hydraulically and the self-leveling pad positions itself on the hull no matter the angle. This is especially important when the arms are up high, and the operator can't reach them.

All transporters come standard with internal lift cylinders that raise the entire machine but when navigating more uneven terrain, ascending ramps or handling deeper keel vessels, it may be necessary to have increased lift height. This is accomplished by replacing the standard lift cylinder with one that has additional stroke.

A few different options are available depending on the information you want to obtain from the machine. Load pressure gauges show pressure, but not actual weight, to help balance the load and determine if there is any overloading. Another more advanced option adds IQAN modules for electronic load indication, as well as pressures, engine info and gives remote diagnostic capabilities.

Meet the unique needs of your yard. Our team will design and build your machine for the boats you need to transport. Customizable lengths and widths are available to make sure the machine can meet the different needs of each individual yard.

There are three lifting functions as standard on each transporter, both rear corners and the front. The front lift cylinders are equalized and follow the rear allowing the operator to change the angle of the boat laterally or longitudinally. While traveling the wheels will follow the terrain lifting and lowering as needed, ensuring the load stays equal on the machine and level with the general angle of the terrain.

The CS Series (Easy Cradle Handling) transporter was developed for moving cradled boats quickly and with minimal labor. It can lower itself to 12 inches to roll under the open center cradle and then lift cradle and boat in seconds for simple and fast transport. The CS Series is offered from 20 ton to 40 ton capacity and is suitable to handle open center cradles or raised shoulder cradles.

Additional wheel sets can be added to the machine to help with vessels that may have more extreme center of gravity offsets. This option allows more weight to be loaded toward one end of the machine instead of needing to be centered with vessels that push max capacity of the unit.

The C-Series from Marine Travelift is available for the larger lifting needs your shipyard demands, with capacities from 150-1,500 metric tons. These are the ideal lifting solution for everything from cargo ships, to tugs, to superyachts and beyond.

Our Hydro M_Drive forklifts are available in a variety of capacities, wheelbases, and mast heights to work within your existing drystack facility. Choose from side or center cab configurations and innovative options to maximize operator comfort and improve marina efficiency.

The combat proven M1000 Heavy Equipment Transport semi-trailer carries armored vehicles and other heavy equipment loads weighing up to 70 tons. Rugged pendular suspension and automatic multi-axle steering ensures that the M1000 can get loads where they are needed.

The technology used in the M1000 has proven its value and capability in many years of military and commercial use. The M1000 fully satisfies the difficult mission to load, unload and transport the M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank and other heavy equipment worldwide on highways, secondary and cross combat surfaces in all weather conditions.

The competitively awarded five-year requirements contract is valued at $263.2 Million for an estimated 466 trailers and associated logistics products and support services. Under the first delivery order, valued at $37.6 Million, Oshkosh Defense will produce five test trailers for Product Verification Testing (PVT), Operational Testing (OT), Logistics Development and Engineering Development, along with 68 production trailers.

Oshkosh Defense designed the EHETS trailer to be pulled by the Oshkosh Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) A1 currently in service with the U.S. Army. The combined HET A1 and EHETS trailer system is designed to self-load and unload and can haul a payload of up to 90 tons, allowing it to transport the heaviest Army tracked vehicles, including current and future versions of Main Battle Tanks (MBTs), while also obtaining European road permissions at required payloads.
