As I read all the stories about forest fires raging in places like California, B.C. and Russia, I cannot help but think how incredibly helpful our flatrack scissor bridge would be. Quite often in these forested areas, the quickest path from A to B is a straight line, but due to terrain issues that straight line distance can often be tripled, quadrupled or even more in distance (and even longer in travel time due to rugged driving conditions.
Well with our portable bridge system, we could span some of the creeks, rivers, even normally impassible gaps saving hours of travel time, potentially millions in costs when it comes to protecting homes and property and untold amounts in man hours as crews could get to the heart of the fires so much quicker.
Sure many areas already have water bombers and helicopters in place, but wouldn’t having one extra tool available to help save millions be worth it?. Every week new opportunities and uses arise for the ERE S80T portable bridge systems, what creative ideas would work for your industry?
If you would like more information about our bridge systems (watch the video of a portable bridge being deployed here)and how it could be another tool in your emergency tool kit please contact us. We can be reached at info@erelogistics.com or you can simply leave a comment on this post below.
