TACTICAL FLOATING
BRIDGE

Steel Ribbon Bridge (SRB)

The SRB is both a floating bridge and ferry designed for wet gap crossing for Tracked and Wheeled vehicles up to MLC 85T, 120W. The SRB is designed to be NATO compatible, powerful, multi-purpose and flexible in its use. It can be easy deployed by an army engineers unit after a short period of training. The SRB is a rustic system, easy to maintain, with low life cycle cost. It can be transported by any civilian or military truck equipped with standard hook lift. The SRB is implemented using any Bridge Erection Boat.
