ERE S80T

Emergency Bridge Solutions – Portable Scissor Bridge

Emergency bridges are not an area we had previously been targeting, but with all the crazy weather the world has been seeing globally lately we have actually had clients come to us looking for this type of a solution. From the floods in Pakistan to the earthquakes in Chile, it is becoming more and more crucial for governments and aid agencies to have access to these areas quickly.

With roads getting washed out, bridges getting destroyed and people in dire need of assistance, time is of the essence. This is where a system like the ERE S80T portable bridge system can be vital to getting support people in and victims out, quickly and efficiently.

With the ability to support vehicles up to 80 tons currently and the upcoming capability to support 90 ton vehicles, our portable bridge systems are becoming ideal for getting heavy equipment into areas where it is most needed. As more and more companies and governments are becoming aware of how ideal our bridge system works as an emergency road replacement solution we are receiving additional inquiries each month.

This is part of the reason we at ERE Logistics are continuing to evolve our system. Our latest features include longer leg systems, now allowing us to bridge deeper flood areas, handrail systems making the units ideal for moving large quantities of pedestrians safely and efficiently and even more safety features making the bridge system faster and more efficient to operate.

For government agencies and more cost efficiencies we even built the system based on the military flatrack systems which are a pallet system allowing vehicles to have multi uses and allowing more cost effective storage and delivery options. Just one more way we provide solutions while saving overall costs to the buyers.

If you have any inquiries about how ERE Logistics can help you with an emergency bridge system that is fast, cost effective and suitable for anywhere in the world contact us today to get more information. We can be reached at info@erelogistics.com

by admin

It’s finally here, the Aerospace Conference & Industry Trade Show at the Delta Lodge in Kananaskis, Alberta starts today at 2:00 (Oct 12th, 2010) and runs until Thursday October 14th.

This years focus is on “Strategies for Success” and Richard Richter (President of ERE Logistics) will be one of the presenters Wednesday October 13th at 11:00.

The organizers also asked Richard to bring one of his portable scissor bridges along which has been set up outside the hotel. Here are some of the pictures to give you an idea.

This will be a great opportunity for anyone interested in finding out more about dealing with the Defence Industry in Canada or anyone looking for more information about ERE Logistics and their portable bridge systems.

This last picture shows a section of the bridge with the new hand rails added for foot traffic. This has been an excellent addition and helps make our product even more suitable for emergency bridging solutions.

The ERE S80T Is Also Great For the Environment!

With saving our environment becoming more of a priority in everyone’s eyes, once again the ERE Logistics portable scissor bridge system comes to the rescue. Our design leaves almost a zero footprint when we use a single span to cross an area.

Below is a quote from Richard Richter President of ERE Logistics:

“If you’re using a single span of 40 feet or less, the impact is zero – you don’t even know we were there. You’ll see tire tracks going to the crossing, and then there’s tire tracks on the other side…If it’s over 40 feet, we have to put the support legs down, but that’s maybe 10 percent of the disturbance of walking a backhoe COMPARABLE through it – the leg comes in contact with the bottom and kicks up some sediment, and that’s all.”

It gets even better, since you aren’t making an impact on the environment, you also save the costs normally associated with the cleanup after the fact. Often this is overlooked when looking at the initial costs, but definitely becomes an issue when looking at the big picture.

This is a great opportunity for ERE as we will have face to face access to several federal agencies and private sectors organizations who may not be aware of the ERE S80T portable bridge system.
