Default Aluminum Bridging ladders

I have a fabrication shop in oregon and have off roaded all my life. Love camel trophy and how they would just build bridges with there sand track. so I got to looking around and did not like few sand track like stuff available out there. so I engineered and built a set of my own. I have been building and trying styles out for the past 6 months.
This is what I have:
14 inch wide 4 feet long 12 inch track width 2 foot span ladders meaning they can bridge over a 2 foot trench with out a problem. making them good for sand mud snow and other soft grand uses. have a extremely grippy track so muddy snow cover tires gip well. weighing only 13 pounds a track very easy to carry.
$300 shipped any were in US.

14inch wide 4 feet long same as above just full span meaning can hold up vehicle the full 4 feet. 20 pounds a track. $350 shipped

custom mounts are included if you want.

also I can custom build any style you want from 1 foot pad to a 10 foot center folding bridging system.

For anyone interested, the Winter '09 issue of Overland Journal did a test comparison of the main type of bridging ladders.
Here's a video teaser.

Yeah, I think the Mantec is the best of the lot, but also the most expensive.
I think those can be overlapped in order to get up larger inclines, which puts a larger stress on them as the weight is concentrated on a very small area on the one that's on the bottom.

It works fine if you host the photos somewhere else, then in the post just add (IMG) and (/IMG) before and after the URL. Substitute square brackets [] for ()
