BQE CONNECTOR at the WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE

From Hilman Rollers

This "fast-track" project replaced concrete bridge
segments of the connecting ramps leading to the
Williamsburg Bridge - a vital link between
Brooklyn and Manhattan, in New York City. The
contractor utilized two carts equipped with a pair of
modified 15-OT Hilman Rollers utilizing Accu-Roll
Guidance in a special configuration guiding the
rollers along the central median of each support
beam to launch the 45-ton pre-cast segments.
An excellent example of Accu-RollGuidance Systems
effectiveness for repetitive movements, a total of
240 sections were launched quickly and efficiently
using this method.
