Introduction of Bailey Type Trestle Bridge And Platform

The Bailey platform, also known as the Bailey bridge, is a modular, portable, and temporary bridge design that was widely used during World War II and in the post-war period.

During the construction process, the appropriate height and position of the support are determined according to the actual situation, and corresponding measures are taken to support and fix.The construction bridge generally has the characteristics of simple structure and low cost, but it should be safe and firm to meet the requirements of engineering construction and transportation.

When the land and water transportation on both sides of the bridge can not meet the construction and transportation requirements in the mountain area, the construction bridge should be built. 

Features of Bailey Type Trestle Bridge And Platform

Traversability:

The flat, even surface of the chesses provides a stable, non-slip platform for both wheeled and tracked vehicles, as well as pedestrians.

The continuous, uninterrupted deck ensures a smooth and safe crossing experience.

This load-bearing capacity enables the movement of critical military and emergency equipment over the bridge.

Applications of Bailey Type Trestle Bridge And Platform

The Bailey platform can be adapted to span various distances, from 10 meters to over 60 meters, by adding or removing support bays.

The height of the bridge can also be adjusted by adding or removing panels, accommodating different terrain and clearance requirements.

The modular components of the Bailey platform can be easily transported, often by truck or rail, to the construction site.

The lightweight and compact nature of the individual elements facilitate efficient transportation and handling.
