Equipment FAQs

What is an underbridge inspection truck?

An underbridge inspection truck is specialized equipment designed to provide safe access to the underside of bridges, overpasses, and elevated structures. These trucks use articulating booms or telescoping platforms to reach areas that are difficult or unsafe to access using ladders or scaffolding. Underbridge units allow inspectors and maintenance crews to work efficiently while minimizing traffic disruption.

What is the difference between underbridge inspection trucks and articulated boom trucks?

Underbridge inspection trucks, such as the HPT series, are specifically designed for bridge inspections and offer extended reach beneath structures. These units typically provide larger working platforms and greater horizontal reach.

Articulated boom trucks, like the UB-50, UB-60, A-62, and A-75 are more versatile aerial inspection units. They are ideal for bridge maintenance, structural inspections, and projects requiring flexible positioning in tight or complex environments.

Which underbridge truck is best for large bridge inspections?

For large bridge inspections, higher-reach units such as the HPT66 are often the best choice. These trucks provide extended reach capabilities and larger working platforms, making them well-suited for wide spans, tall structures, and complex bridge geometries.

The right equipment ultimately depends on the bridge layout, clearance requirements, and access conditions.

Do your bridge inspection trucks require lane closures?

Many of our inspection trucks are designed to minimize lane closures. Certain articulated boom units do not require outriggers, allowing them to operate more efficiently in active traffic environments. However, traffic control requirements vary depending on the project and location.

Anderson UnderBridge also provides traffic control services when needed to ensure safe and compliant operations.

Do your articulated boom trucks require outriggers?

Some articulated boom trucks in our fleet are designed to operate without outriggers. This allows for faster setup times and greater flexibility when working in tight or high-traffic areas.

Equipment selection depends on the reach requirements and working conditions for your specific project.

What types of projects use underbridge inspection trucks?

Underbridge inspection trucks are commonly used for:

  • Bridge inspections
  • Bridge maintenance and repairs
  • Structural inspections
