| Bridge Equipment |
|
The scissors type bridge is transported and launched over the rear of the three axle trailer by remote control with the trailer being provided with an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to power the launching system. Before laying the bridge hydraulically operated stabilizers are lowered to the ground to provide a more stable launch platform. When opened out the scissors type bridge is 23 m long which allows it to span gaps of up to 21 m which depends on the conditions of the bank. The bridge takes about 10 minutes to lay in position and can take tracked vehicles weighing up to 63.5 tons or wheeled vehicles up to 99.7 tons. Every span is filled between girders so bridge has road surface along the whole usable width. Filling between girders makes possible crossing by wheeled vehicles of less wheel track vehicles and troops as well.
