The presented foldable container passed the tests for international certifications ISO 1496-1 and CSC required for its application on site. Differently from the 4:1 folding ratio adopted by most
Crafted with an engineered steel frame and fully powder-coated for long-lasting protection, our bridge kits are shipped disassembled for convenience. All components can be assembled
These portable, fast deploying, temporary bridges can be easily transported on a standard flatbed truck and skidded into place with excavation equipment and a small crew in one hour.
Recent investigations on foldable structures and particularly foldable tubes, raise the question if they can be advantageous for the
In this paper a folded structure is evaluated through its mass after an optimisation process, that reduces the cross-sections of each element in the structure to be as light as possible. Doing
Shipping containers provide a cost-effective and durable option for bridges with prices significantly lower than traditional materials. The modular nature of shipping containers lets you construct
In this study, we investigate the potential of foldable containers to improve empty container repositioning in river–sea intermodal transport, with consideration of bridge height
Designed for extreme loads and rugged use by contractors worldwide, Acrow''s heavy haul bridges connect you to a versatile, durable and cost-effective solution.
Recent investigations on foldable structures and particularly foldable tubes, raise the question if they can be advantageous for the construction of bridge-like beams.
Acrow''s temporary bridges deliver immediate, durable and cost-effective access. Our modular technology is customizable to the specific needs of each project, facilitating Accelerated Bridge
Designed for extreme loads and rugged use by contractors worldwide, Acrow''s heavy haul bridges connect you to a versatile, durable and cost
These bridges are designed to be portable, reusable, and adaptable to various sizes and load requirements. The panel-type design involves standardized units that can be combined in
PDF version includes complete article with source references. Suitable for printing and offline reading.
It would also be helpful for governments to invest in research and innovation of the equipment technology for handling foldable containers to reduce the fixed cost. Meanwhile, policies that can motivate container companies to supply more foldable containers to the market would also have a positive effect.
In contrast with most of the existing studies on container shipping, the novel limitations on voyages resulting from the water depth and bridge height constraints are considered in the model, which can be an efficient tool for managers to determine optimal plans for vessels and empty containers in practice.
In addition to providing reliable job site access, our prefabricated bridges can be used to improve load ratings of existing bridges. Temporary access bridges are an ideal solution because they have little environmental impact and cause minimal disruption to surrounding areas.
Portable hinged bridges are designed to minimize freight and installation costs. Installation can typically be completed in about an hour with standard excavating equipment or a crane, which is ideal for areas where site access is difficult or limited. Portable hinged bridges are available for sale or rent.
