THEORY OF OPERATION (Contd)
HOW THE BRIDGE IS EMPLACED (Contd)
both bridge halves are engaged. Then the lower bridge half is tilted toward the
upper bridge half until the upper couplings on both bridge halves lock. The coupled
bridge is then driven to the rear until the entire length of the bridge is extended
over gap (river, gully, or ditch) to be crossed. The pallet launch boom and lower
support boom lower far shore end of bridge to ground, and the pallet winch lowers
near shore end to ground. Bridge retrieval is performed basically in reverse order.
