All Steel Low Profile Bridges
All Steel Low Profile Bridges
Our All Steel Low Profile Portable Bridges boast a heavy-duty all-steel deck with a low profile design, making them ideal for placing where minimal earthworks and end fill (gravel) are required to connect the road to the bridge surface.
Prefabricated in two pieces and split down the middle, these bridges are small enough to require no piloting vehicles for transportation (<80ft) and built to be winchable or skidable. This makes setup quick and transportation easy. Expandable width options are available if needed.
Access Hard-to-Reach Areas
All Steel Low Profile Bridges are ideal for providing a safe crossing over sensitive and challenging sites, including rough terrain, creeks, rivers, and small valleys.
Reduce Environmental Impact
Projects that cross sensitive lands or bodies of water often require a special permit to ensure there is zero disturbance to the area, and that sensitive ecosystems are protected.
Temporary steel bridges provide this valuable environmental buffer, ensuring projects comply with regulations—especially in riparian management zones.
Quick Turnaround and Easy Installation
With over 50 locations across Canada, our team can respond quickly to customers’ needs and get access solutions like our All Steel Low Profile Bridges in place with minimal downtime.
The installation of low-profile bridges requires very little earth movement and is ideal for sites where earth movement is restricted.
Industries such as logging, oil and gas, mining, forestry, transmission and distribution, and emergency response use bridges so that they can continue their operations safely and efficiently with fewer delays.
All Steel Low Profile bridges are a great solution for projects including:
- Detour bridges
- Wetland crossings
- Spanning existing condemned structures
All Steel Low Profile Bridge Dimensions:
- Length: 20′-80′
- Running Surface: 14’ or 16′
