Nelson Manufacturing

It has optimised the weight of its popular crane boom launch trailer. The new lighter weight trailer model known as #ARTA-40BLX. This new trailer will allow many of the heavier crane booms to be hauled without being classified as a super load.

The Nelson boom launch trailer eliminates the need to have an assist crane on the jobsite to install or remove boom sections from large hydraulic cranes. With the Nelson boom launch trailer the hydraulic boom lift and travel mechanism can swiftly and safely "launch" the crane boom. The trailer is self contained with its own hydraulic power unit eliminating the need to run hydraulic hoses from the crane to power the trailer.

Wireless remote controls and onsite training by Nelson personnel help ensure safe and easy operation.

Nelson has built these trailers to fit cranes from all of the major manufactures. Nelson engineers work directly with the crane manufacturer to ensure that the company is handling the boom in a manner that will not cause damage or an unsafe condition.

Nelson also offers a complete line of crane boom dollies, pin 'n go trailers for transporting rough terrain cranes and a complete line of heavy haul and specialty semi-trailers.

Nelson will be displaying a newly designed crane boom dolly at ConExpo 2014. The new Nelson dolly system offers a common lower frame for multiple crane models while still offering various customer preference options.

The Nelson crane boom towers, upper rockers and counterweight brackets are all custom designed and built to fit each specific crane. The company's engineers work directly with the crane manufactures to ensure that dollies are attaching to the boom in an approved manner.

One of the many recent features available on Nelson's dollies is an upper rocker leveling system. Heavy duty extension springs are installed to allow the upper rocker return to a level position when the boom is removed which assists the operator in attaching the crane.
