Temporary bridges for hire

[treefrog]

Hi guys I am quoting a job but need to get across some ditches. Need to hire some temporary bridges the job is near Basingstoke do you have any ideas. It's to get a Landy tipper and chipper over.

Try getting in touch with the royal engineer combat school at Gibraltar barracks at blackwater. It's an outside chance ! but the type of thing they could do for training/fun.

if its not too wide maybe the steel loading ramps from a big Ifor plant trailer would do

Just try to hire 3 Timber Bog Mats they will carry that with absolutely no issues.

 

You need the 150mm thick versions as these aren't crazy heavy and you will get 3 to site ok on a long enough Ifor Trailer behind a Landy.

 

They skid easily like a sledge to get them down a site if you can't get the trailer to the crossing point.

 

They come in 5 metre by 1 metre and usually hire at £5 per week.

 

If you have a reasonably local supplier they can do the mats in a vast range of sizes and 6 metre long if you need it.

 

You'll not damage them, and nobody will want to have them away either!

Probably too much for what you're looking at but interesting all the same!
