Structure of Bailey Bridge

This kind of bridge is composed of four parts, namely, the truss-type main girder, the bridge deck, the link member and the structural member. At the same time, there are special tools for building bridges. The larger spans of such bridges can be as long as 69 meters, and the width of the lanes can reach about 3.7 meters. When wheeled vehicles are running on it, the allowable maximum speed is 30 kilometers per hour, and the allowable speed of tracked armored vehicles is 5 kilometers per hour.

Advantages of Prefabricated Bailey Bridge

The prefabricated steel bridge is a kind of down-supported steel structure highway truss bridge that can be quickly assembled and disassembled. The truss unit is 3 meters long and its span can reach about 70 meters. The load capacity is 50 tons for crawler type and 30 tons for wheel type. It can be used to temporarily erect bridges, repair damaged original bridges, and can also be used as the superstructure of civil boat pontoon bridges. The processing quality of the product is stable and reliable. Due to the use of mechanized production operations, the product spacing is uniform.
