The ABC machines can also be used on noise/wind barriers up to 5.4 m. height, in case of standard supply. Bigger heights can be fitted on specially designed machines, following the client’s needs.
The system utilized to overcome noise/wind barriers is a peculiar feature of the equipment, hence there is no need to mount/dismount any additional element to allow such operation during the job.
Moreover the time needed to launch the equipment, also in presence of big height barriers, is still limited to just some minutes.
ABC platforms, the ideal mean to carry out fast inspections and repair jobs of any kind, can be fitted also with the “Assistant Ladder” device, allowing the personnel an easy access within beams’ intradosses.

The wide platforms of ABC range allow the operators to carry out whichever repairing job underneath the bridge deck level, by using pneumatic/electrical/hydraulic tools, directly powered by the sockets installed on board the platform same. Also demolition jobs can be carried out, by means of pneumatic hammers, in this case the platform must be formerly protected against the fall of rubble by using plastic nets.

The most little equipment within the range is named ABC 60, it is mounted on to a 3.5 ton capacity truck chassis and it has been specifically designed to allow an easy and fast access to the lower parts of bridges having small sizes.
Thanks to its high versatility and performances, matched with a really low price, ABC 60 model is the right machine either for Public Road Authorities and private contractors, which provide inspection and maintenance jobs to small sized bridges within the local or regional highway network.

The products of the ABC line for inspection and maintenance of road bridges guarantee a safe, quick and economic system of access to those structures where setting up of scaffoldings is not feasible or it is too costly.
The ABC units, mounted on standard trucks or trailers, take a few minutes only to deploy from the rest position to the work position , without personnel on board.
Only after launching manoeuvres are over, operators are enabled to descend on board the platform through the provided protected access and from here they can communicate with personnel on top the bridge deck by means of intercom system.

The launching of the platform, which has a length comprised between 6 and 23 meters depending on the model, is operated by proportional controls and hydraulic power supply.

The translation manoeuvre of the unit on bridge deck, with platform deployed underneath, is commanded from platform control station, with the consent of the driver in the cab.

Suitable to operate in the most strained environmental conditions, the ABC units allow access to bridges having barriers up to more than 5 m height and, thanks to the “Descender” device, they enable to check the condition of piers up to more than 50 m depth.
Equipped with emergency electropump, the units can be supplied complete of other accessories such as generator and compressor with air and water plants.
