Bridge Access Systems

Our engineering and design expertise applies equally well to the bridge access and maintenance market - another sector where our flare for innovation is called upon to provide effective solutions to problems in unusual operating environments.

Recent successful projects include:

Lupu Bridge

To keep the world's longest arch bridge in peak condition requires regular maintenance. This is enabled by a bespoke under deck gantry and trolley access system designed and supplied by SCX working in partnership with main construction contractor Shanghai Tongzhu Engineering.

The Turnbridge Loco Lift Bridge

Spanning the Huddersfield Broad Canal, originally timber-built around 1865, the Loco Lift Bridge has been refurbished and upgraded by Street CraneXpress to keep it working effectively.

Severn Second Crossing Bridge RAT

Street CraneXpress designed an under deck maintenance train system (RAT, or Rapid Access Train) to carry 6 maintenance engineers to anywhere under the bridge.

Avonmouth Bridge

Street CraneXpress designed and supplied an extensive series of drive and idler bogies to support a number of travelling under bridge access and maintenance gantries.

Tamar Bridge

Similar to the Avonmouth, SCX designed and supplied a series of drive and idler bogies to support under bridge access gantries.
