CaptainPanic Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Lego? I'm afraid I don't understand the question. If you just carry a plank, you have a portable bridge, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyman Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Define "portable bridge". All bridges can be disassembled, transported and resassembled somewhere else. Bridges themselves capable of controlled motion involving motors and steering are more vehicles than bridges. Military pontoon brigde constructed for temporary usage and portability: Transportable "bridge" on water called ferry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rktpro Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 I meant something which can be taken on a moving car and later unfolded at spot but still remains attached to car. This bridge can later be taken back by folding and using the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During WWII there were several designs of foldable bridges which were carried by tanks, and also strong enough to allow a tank to pass over them. Just search for [wwII bridge tank] and you'll find some pictures and websites. Whether it's possible to remain attached is another thing. I think it has some practical problems, and I don't see why it would be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
