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.
- Lightweight design at around 4kg per ladder for easy manual handling and vehicle storage.
- Available in two practical sizes: 996 x 310 x 38 mm and 1220 x 310 x 38 mm.
- Textured anti-slip surface profile to improve tyre grip on wet or loose ground.
- Open, ribbed structure to shed mud, sand and debris and maintain traction.
- Impact and weather resistant, suitable for year-round outdoor use.
- Non-conductive fibreglass material, ideal where metal trackway may not be suitable.
Key Features and Benefits
- Improves off-road access by providing a stable track over soft sand, mud or loose stone, reducing the risk of vehicles becoming stuck.
- Lightweight GRP construction makes the ladders easy to carry, position and reposition without the need for lifting equipment.
- Compact dimensions allow convenient storage in 4x4s, utility vehicles and response vans, ready for quick deployment.
- Corrosion-resistant material offers long service life in harsh environments, including coastal, agricultural and construction settings.
