PMP Floating Bridge
The PMP Floating Bridge ( "pontoon / bridge park") is a type of mobile pontoon bridge designed by the Soviet Union after World War II. The bridge's design enables for a quick assembly of its parts. It has a carrying capacity of 60 tons. The bridge was originally mounted on a KrAZ-214 The KrAZ-214 is an off-road truck 6x6 for extreme operations.Н. Чистов. Модернизированный КрАЗ // "За рулём", № 10, октябрь 1961. стр.14 It was manufactured in the Soviet Union at the Yaroslavl Motor ..., but later transferred to a KrAZ-255. During the process of its deployment, a truck carrying the bridge is backed alongside the edge of a body of water. The bridge is then rolled off where it unfolds automatically. The bridge spans 382 metres, load capacity 20 tons, or 227 m, load capacity 60 tons, with 32 river pontoons, 12 bridging boats and four shore pontoons. The PMP was superseded by the PPS-84 and later the PP-91 bridge system after the breakup ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pontoon Bridge
A pontoon bridge (or ponton bridge), also known as a floating bridge, is a bridge that uses float (nautical), floats or shallow-draft (hull), draft boats to support a continuous deck for pedestrian and vehicle travel. The buoyancy of the supports limits the maximum load that they can carry. Most pontoon bridges are temporary and used in wartime and civil emergencies. There are permanent pontoon bridges in civilian use that can carry highway traffic; generally, the relatively high potential for collapse and sinking (e.g. due to waves and collisions) and high continuous maintenance costs makes pontoons unattractive for most civilian construction. Permanent floating bridges are useful for sheltered water crossings if it is not considered economically feasible to suspend a bridge from anchored Pier (architecture), piers (such as in deep water). Such bridges can require a section that is elevated or can be raised or removed to allow waterborne traffic to pass. Notable permanent pontoo ...

KrAZ-255
The KrAZ-255 is a Soviet three-axle off-road truck with six-wheel drive (6 × 6), intended for extreme operations. It was manufactured at the KrAZ plant beginning from 1967. The KrAZ-255 was developed directly from its predecessor, the KrAZ-214 (produced 1956-1967). Despite being very similar at first glance (both using the same cab, flatbed as well as the suspension), there are few major differences. Firstly, the 255 used new and much more powerful engine - the YaMZ-238 (same used in MT-LB tracked APC), replacing the previously used and sensibly weaker YaAZ-206B which was used in 214. The 255 also featured new and more reliable transmission, the YaMZ-236N, instead of the previously used YaAZ-204. It also featured new headlights (which were now, together with turn signals, located in their own housings mounted on the fenders) and, most notably, much wider tires (1300 x 530 x 533 in dimensions), which offered lighter ground pressure and thus, even greater off-road capabilitie ...

Ural-5323
The Ural-5323 is an 8×8 heavy-duty off-road truck specially designed for army service. It has been produced since 1989 by the Ural Automotive Plant located in Miass, Russia. The Ural-5323 is a platform for the Pantsir-S1 gun-missile Air Defense System. The Ural-5323-20, with its 8x8 wheel configuration, is designed to carry cargo weighing up to 10 tons and tow trailers with a full weight up to 16 tons. The military version differs from the civilian version as its headlights are located on the cab. Civilian versions are sold with headlights located in the bumper. Earlier versions were equipped with cabs from Kamaz, which complicated production and were less suitable than the replacement Iveco cabs which were provided after 2000.

PP-64 Wstęga
The PP-64 Wstęga is a Polish military pontoon bridge produced since 1966.Jane's Military Vehicles and Logistics, April 28, 2009 The design, based on the Soviet PMP model, commenced in 1964. The prototype was tested in 1965. Unlike PMP, rated for 60,000 kilogram load, PP-64 was rated for 40,000 kilograms, still sufficient to carry T-54/55 and T-62 main battle tanks of its period. '' Jane's Military Vehicles and Logistics'' staff supposed that PP-64 may also be capable of supporting T-64 and T-72 tanks. PP-64 set consists of 48 truck-mounted pontoons, 12 ramps, six motor boats (carried on twin-axle truck trailers) and other equipment. KH-200 bridging boats used with PP-64 were actually put in production later, in 1971; each is capable of carrying 15 troops.Jane's Military Vehicles and Logistics, May 5, 2009 The human complement in the field reaches 126 soldiers (including 60 Star 660 or Star 266 truck drivers) and 10 NCOs.

PM M71 Floating Bridge
The PM M71 is a Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRJ) licence-built pontoon bridge of the Soviet PMP Floating Bridge designed after the WWII. The PM M71 deployment process is the same as for Soviet PMP and was primary designed and used by Yugoslav People's Army. Development of the PM M71 began at the end of the 1960s in the MTRZ Sava Kovačević plant in Tivat, with the designation "Project 382". Production began in 1971 and deliveries were made to the Yugoslav People's Army throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Similar to the Soviet PMP, the PM M71 initially used Yugoslav-made FAP 2220 BDS/A trucks for transporting and FAP 1314 S/AV for towing and removing the RPP M68 tugboat. During the 1980s, the set was modernized with newer FAP 2026 BDS/A and FAP 2026 BS/AVG trucks. The PM M71 bridging set includes: *32 floating sections (pontoons), *4 abutment sections, *2 road covers, *12 RPP M68 tugboats, *38 FAP 2026 BDS/A trucks for transportation of the sections, *12 FAP 2026 BDS/A ...
