HZ68 Heavy Tactical Bridge

2.1 Core Value: Solving Tactical Obstacle-Crossing Pain Points

• Rapid Tactical Deployment: Cuts single-span erection time to 12 minutes and full-set deployment to 60 minutes, minimizing delays in military maneuvers, disaster rescue, or urgent supply transport—critical for time-sensitive missions.

• Complex Terrain Adaptation: Equipped with a superior off-road chassis and dozer blade (for clearing debris or leveling terrain), it operates seamlessly in harsh environments (marshlands, uneven dry gaps) where standard bridges struggle.

• Reduced Operational Burden: Only 4 operators are needed (fewer than the previous generation), lowering manpower demands and simplifying on-site coordination—ideal for small-unit tactical operations.

• Enhanced Load & Passage Capacity: MLC80 loading capacity supports heavy tactical vehicles (e.g., armored trucks, artillery), while a 4m trackway width ensures stable two-way or single-lane passage, outperforming narrower predecessor models.

2.2 Key Features

• Integrated Dozer Blade: A built-in dozer blade eliminates the need for additional terrain-prep equipment—it clears obstacles (rocks, vegetation) and levels uneven ground before bridge erection, streamlining the deployment process in unimproved areas.

• Superior Loading & Passage Performance: Boasts MLC80 loading capacity (suitable for heavy tactical vehicles) and a 4m trackway width (wider than the previous generation), with an overall width of 4.5m—ensuring safe, stable passage for both vehicles and personnel.

• Flexible Trestle Adjustment: Trestle adjustment range of 2.6m–6m allows adaptation to varying terrain heights (e.g., uneven riverbanks, sloped gaps), eliminating the need for custom shims or modifications and expanding usable scenarios.

• Fast, Low-Manpower Deployment: Single-span erection takes just 12 minutes, and the entire set is operational in 60 minutes—all managed by 4 operators. This reduces on-site exposure time (critical in combat zones) and simplifies logistics compared to predecessor models.

• Robust Off-Road Chassis: Designed with a high-performance off-road chassis, it handles rough terrain (marshlands, rocky ground) with ease, while supporting a maximum speed of 90km/h for quick movement between mission sites.

• Precise Slope Adaptability: Tolerates ±5° crossing slope and ±10° longitudinal slope during bridge laying, ensuring stable deployment even on uneven terrain—avoiding costly rework or structural risks in tactical environments.

2.4 Application Scenarios

• Military Tactical Maneuvers: Supports army units in crossing small-to-medium rivers, dry gaps, or marshlands during offensive/defensive operations—ensuring armored vehicles, artillery, and troops maintain momentum without being delayed by terrain obstacles.

• Combat Zone Logistics: Enables rapid construction of temporary passages for supply convoys, ensuring ammunition, fuel, and rations reach frontline troops in time—even in areas with damaged or non-existent infrastructure.

• Emergency Disaster Rescue: In post-disaster scenarios (floods, earthquakes) where roads are cut by rivers or collapsed gaps, it provides a fast passage for rescue vehicles (e.g., armored ambulances, engineering trucks) to reach disaster-stricken areas.

• Remote Tactical Training: Ideal for military training exercises in complex terrain (e.g., desert gaps, wetland areas), helping troops practice rapid obstacle-crossing skills under realistic conditions.

• Border Security & Patrol: Assists border patrol units in crossing natural obstacles (small rivers, dry ravines) in remote border regions, ensuring continuous patrol coverage and rapid response to security incidents
