Description

These GRP bridging ladders provide a lightweight yet robust fibreglass support solution for 4x4 vehicles, commercial vans and off-road equipment. Designed as portable sand ladders, they spread vehicle weight over a wider area to help prevent wheels from sinking into soft or unstable ground.

Manufactured from glass reinforced plastic (GRP), each bridging ladder offers high strength with a low overall weight of approximately 4kg per panel. Ideal for off-road recovery, construction sites, event access and agricultural use, they can be quickly deployed to create a stable trackway over sand, mud, gravel or uneven terrain.

Product Features

  • Durable GRP (glass reinforced plastic) construction for high strength and corrosion resistance.

  • Available in two practical sizes: 996 x 310 x 38 mm and 1220 x 310 x 38 mm.
