Yellow Buckingham BU-173 Power Unit
Whether you are moving a small frame house or a large multi-story building, you will need a reliable Power Unit. Buckingham Power Units maximize the efficiency and safety of your crew, and protect the structure that is being moved.

Our Power Units are the most advanced in the industry, and are built for efficiency, safety, and reliability. For efficiency, we include a convenient, full-function Wireless Remote Control to give you the freedom to safely and smoothly control your load from any location. For safety, we feature an electronic Digital Engine Monitor which automatically shuts down the engine and locks the air brakes if it senses a low oil pressure or overheating condition. In addition, dolly over center valves offer maximum load protection. For reliability, we offer the proven durability of John Deere and Kohler® diesel engines on Large and Medium Frame Power Units and Kubota diesel or propane engines on our Small Frame Power Units.
Radio Remote Control for Power Units
A high-powered Radio Remote controls all functions and has a 1000' working range. You can remotely control engine start, stop, and RPM, as well as proportional jacking, steering, and air braking. It also offers complete drive control with forward, reverse, and cruise, in addition to emergency stop and air horn operation. For safety, if the signal is lost for any reason, the engine will automatically shut down and set the air brakes. Power Units also have manual controls as a backup.
The Buckingham SmartSteer® System controls up to nine Power and Coaster Dollies per BU-173 or BU-125 Power Unit. Multiple power units may be linked together to further expand the system. 
Custom Options include extra Drive, Jacking, and Steering Ports, and Custom Paint Colors.
