Specialized Bridge Construction Equipment for Building and Reconstruction

Bridge construction projects demand equipment that provides reliable, stable, and spacious high-capacity work platforms, capable of supporting both personnel and construction materials. Anderson UnderBridge delivers specialized access solutions that enable contractors to efficiently install forms, hang conduit, place concrete, and complete essential construction tasks beneath bridge structures.

The Bridge Construction Equipment Challenge

Construction contractors face significant challenges when working under bridges, particularly when installing concrete forms, running utilities, or working on structural elements. Traditional access methods often lack the necessary stability, weight capacity, workspace, or built-in utility connections to support construction operations efficiently. This results in extended project timelines, increased labor costs, and logistical complications.

The Anderson UnderBridge Solution

Anderson UnderBridge’s Hydra Platform bridge construction equipment transforms bridge projects through:

Superior load capacity

Platforms support 1,000-1,400 pounds, accommodating workers, tools, and construction materials.

Expansive workspace

The extensive platform area enables efficient material setup and accommodates multiple workers at once.

Exceptional stability

Rigid platforms provide the stability needed for precise installation work.

Continuous access

Equipment can move along the bridge while deployed, eliminating repetitive setup/takedown cycles.

Built-in utilities

Integrated power, air, and water connections support various construction operations.

Facing a complex bridge structure?

For complex bridge structures with extensive cross members or truss designs, Anderson UnderBridge also provides articulated boom equipment to ensure complete access to all construction areas.

Ideal for Construction Contractors

Construction contractors particularly benefit from Anderson UnderBridge’s bridge construction equipment platforms due to:

Enhanced productivity: Multiple workers can operate simultaneously in a stable environment.
Material handling: Our platforms have substantial weight capacity and space for construction materials.
Form installation: Stable platforms ensure precise concrete form placement.
Utility installation: Our extended platform length supports running continuous conduit or cable.
Flexibility: Contractors may choose to rent for specific projects or purchase for their ongoing construction needs.

The Anderson UnderBridge Advantage for Construction

Unlike bucket trucks with limited capacity, Anderson UnderBridge’s Hydra Platforms deliver the ideal combination of speed, capacity, and workspace for construction operations. Built in America with high-quality steel, aircraft-grade aluminum, and other premium materials, our equipment ensures durability and reliability—even in demanding construction environments.

For new bridge construction, Anderson UnderBridge platforms provide exceptional value through their ability to be craned into position on trophy spans and their mobility once deployed. On precast or modular bridge construction projects, our equipment’s mobility and load capacity significantly enhance productivity.

National and International Project Experience

Anderson UnderBridge’s equipment has supported major construction projects both nationally and internationally, including:

San Francisco Bay Bridge construction (10 platforms working simultaneously)
Mackinac Bridge construction and reconstruction
Tappan Zee Bridge construction
Golden Gate Bridge projects
Numerous DOT construction projects across North America
