Panel Lam Timber Vehicle Bridge
       Panel Lam® Vehicle Bridges are shop manufactured kits that assemble fast in any season. Individual structural timbers are pressure treated and dowel-laminated into panels that unload from the truck right into position. They have been engineered to lay up to 250 square feet of deck at a time.

     Available in single or multiple spans, with crash-tested railings and asphalt wear surface, Panel Lam® Vehicle Bridges provide added aesthetics without compromising strength or durability.

     Properly designed timber bridges handle all highway loads and require little or no maintenance. The longitudinal timber slab span requires no stringers creating a thin structure profile ideal for low headroom conditions. To preserve the asphalt wear surface, panels are interconnected by a ship-lapped joint and supplemented with a spreader beam to transfer loads between panels.

     It is tough to beat the durability of properly treated wood. Discover the value of Wheeler timber bridges.
