Low-maintenance aluminum
The LVTB-1811 lightweight bridge is made of high-strength yet lightweight aluminum alloy components, engineered to maximize load-bearing capacity with minimal structural weight. And because it is made of aluminum, the light vehicle tactical bridge is resistant to corrosion and requires no maintenance.
Faster emergency response
The LVTB-1811 lightweight bridge is a bridge in a box. It is efficiently delivered and transported in a container and can be easily assembled fast without specialized labor—key advantages for emergency preparedness.
Engineered with experience
In addition to the hundreds of structural extruded aluminum projects we’ve designed and built, we also have numerous awards under our belt. Our patented weld-free MakeABridge® system, which makes the LVTB-1811 lightweight bridge a snap to put together, has earned an award from the Extrusion Technology Foundation’s Design Competition Award in the structural category.
