Cole Bridge Technical Information

BRIDGE OVERVIEW

When our clients contact us enquiring after a heavy capacity access bridge, and our Feakin design can’t meet the requirements we recommend our Cole design. It is a popular design as it covers a lot of bridge requirements i.e. capacity, span, width, aesthetics and price.

Cole bridges are available within the following dimensions:

• Maximum span – 16.5 metres
• Maximum internal width – 7m
• Maximum capacity – 150 tonnes

Cole bridges are fabricated as one section this is for a few reasons, including quick and easy loading / unloading and transport to site and most importantly rapid installation, as the bridge is in one section it can be put into position with one lift using the designated crane or similar machine.

If you have any specific requirements Beaver Bridges would be happy discuss these further.

Cole bridges have been installed in a variety of locations (Hotels, Golf Courses, and Country Estates) and for a number of uses, however the most popular applications are within the following industries:

• Construction – temporary access to site etc
• Quarry – to carry fully laden trucks
• Agriculture – heavy machinery and livestock
• Forestry – timber harvest

Example Optional Extras

• Non slip deck
• Timber deck / handrails etc
• Fully Galvanised
• GRP deck - reduced weight for transport into difficult access situations (loading capacity comparable to steel)

Beaver Bridges if required are capable of manufacturing bridges to order from clients own design drawings and specifications, adhering to all Health and Safety standards.
