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.

i use 5' PSP. have not used it for bridging yet but it's great for traction. it's heavy as hell but cheap.

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 ()
