Floatainer Modular Bridge Systems

The modules that make up the Floatainer folding barges can be attached in various configurations to provide both floating and unsupported span bridges. Along with a specifically designed bridge building boat the system provides an exceptionally versatile package for rapid erection for military or civil emergency applications.

Bridge sections specification:
Length:  Weight: Load:
10m or 16m 10m:4,500 kg
16m:6,000 kg
1. Floating: 10m: 20,000kg  16m: 40,000 kg
2.Spanning: (point loading / section) 10m: 20,000kg 16m: 10,000kg

Bridging modules consist of 12m central bases, bow ramps and side tanks. The inherent strength of the bases along with the side tanks which act as beams result in extremely strong and light bridge sections all of which can be packaged into the standard shipping container configuration.

Floatainer bridge boats have the added capability of acting as ferries for heavy vehicles or being docked end-to end providing continuous long decks which can be utilised for extra length cargo or floating bridges in their own right.
