Sometimes the fact that you have to cut a road is at odds with the fact that you have to spread your mortar without tons of it. In the United States, this is no longer a problem. Fort Equipment already offers a portable mortar bridge.
Movable mortar bridge for zero ton deployment
The Fort Equipment pipe bridge is available in 8″ and 10″ diameters, for a ground clearance of up to 10.66 m. Maximum passing height from below: up to 6.09 m. The device is folded to facilitate movement behind a light vehicle, for example an SSV. On the other hand, it has its own hydraulic components to perform the folding and opening operation.
