As seen in Disaster Relief operations following recent severe flooding in Europe in July, WFEL’s rapidly deployable military bridging systems are increasingly called upon for deployment to provide emergency temporary infrastructure during natural disasters.
The new Boxer bridge module can deploy two types of bridge: a heavy variant which spans 14 metres and can carry 80 tons and a longer version of 22 metres, certified for 50 tons.
WFEL is discussing its range of rapidly deployable bridging systems on booth H6-410 alongside KMW. WFEL’s DSB Dry Support Bridge and the MGB Medium Girder Bridge are already held in inventory by many militaries worldwide.
At 120 Military Load Classification (MLC), the DSB can get traffic and supplies moving over a 46-metre gap in less than 90 minutes using just eight soldiers and a single launch vehicle: crucial in rapidly escalating combat, homeland defence or disaster relief scenarios – when every second counts.
Appointments to visit the WFEL team and discuss potential requirements for military bridging can be made here: https://www.wfel.com/contact or by contacting: info@wfel.com
For those military personnel unable to visit the show in person due to COVID travel restrictions, WFEL can also be contacted via the DSEI Connect service.
