HZ18 Amphibious Armored Bridge

The HZ18 Amphibious Armored Bridge is a specialized amphibious equipment built on an armored vehicle chassis, combining protective performance with dual-mode mobility (road + water). It is engineered to overcome both land and water obstacles—seamlessly transitioning between highway travel and water navigation—to ensure rapid crossing of military or emergency equipment, making it a critical asset for river-crossing operations and flood emergency response.

Core Advantages
  • Amphibious Dual-Mode Mobility: Boasts 85km/h driving speed on roads and 6km/h sailing speed on water—enables independent deployment to riverine or flood-affected areas without relying on transport ships or additional vehicles.​
  • Armored Chassis Protection: The armored vehicle chassis provides structural defense against small arms fire and shrapnel (suitable for military frontline operations), unlike conventional unprotected amphibious bridges.​
  • Ultra-Fast Deployment: Achieves 4min erection time and 6min retrieval time—cuts down the window of exposure during river-crossing missions, critical for military tactical maneuvers or time-sensitive emergency rescues.
  • Supports a 22t tracked load and 12t axle load, safely accommodating light armored vehicles, emergency rescue trucks, and military equipment (e.g., mortar teams, assault transporters) during cross-obstacle travel.​
  • Compact & Efficient Operation: With a curb weight of 24t and only 2 operators required, it balances mobility and operational efficiency—fits into lean military units or emergency teams with limited personnel.​
  • Technical Specification (HZ18 Amphibious Armored Bridge)​
  • Bridge Type: HZ18 Amphibious Armored Barrier-Crossing System​
  • Curb Weight: 24t (optimized for both road driving and water sailing)​
  • Chassis Dimensions (L×W×H): 11.5m × 3.3m × 3.6m (compact for narrow roads and waterways)​
  • Unfolded Bridge Dimensions (L×W×H): 18.2m × 3.3m × 0.8m (low profile for stable water navigation)​
  • Deployed Bridge Length: 18m (single-span design for crossing small-to-medium rivers)
  • ​Roadway Width: 3.2m (fits standard military/emergency vehicles)​
  • Load Capacity: Tracked Load 22t; Axle Load 12t​
  • Erection/Retrieval Time: Erection 4min; Retrieval 6min
  • ​Number of Operators: 2 (covers chassis control, bridge unfolding, and safety inspection)​
  • Mobility Performance: Driving Speed 85km/h (road); Sailing Speed 6km/h (water)​
Application Scenarios
  • Military River-Crossing Operations: Supports infantry or light armored units crossing small-to-medium rivers—armored chassis protects against enemy fire during deployment, while 4min erection allows fast troop/equipment passage before defensive countermeasures.​
  • Flood Emergency Rescue: Navigates flooded areas via water (6km/h sailing speed) to erect temporary bridges over submerged roads or small rivers—enables rescue vehicles (ambulances, supply trucks) to reach isolated communities cut off by floods.​
  • Amphibious Tactical Maneuvers: Accompanies amphibious military units during coastal or riverine missions—transitions between road travel (85km/h) and water navigation to bypass land obstacles, ensuring continuous movement.​
  • Coastal Emergency Access: Provides temporary crossing for coastal areas hit by storm surges or high tides—amphibious capability allows deployment to water-logged sites, while 18m bridge spans over flooded gaps for emergency vehicles.​
Support & Service
  • Amphibious-Specific Customization: Offers modifications for extreme environments, such as anti-corrosion hull coating (for saltwater operations), cold-region water-proofing (to prevent freezing), or military-grade communication systems (for tactical coordination).​
  • Dual-Mode Operation Training: Provides on-site training for 2-operator teams, covering road driving, water sailing, bridge erection/retrieval in water, and emergency troubleshooting (e.g., hull leakage, hydraulic jams).​
  • Armored Chassis Maintenance: Supplies specialized spare parts (armored plate components, amphibious propulsion parts, hydraulic unfolding systems) and dispatches technical teams for on-site repairs in harsh or remote areas.​
  • Military/Emergency Certification: Delivers load test reports (22t tracked load validation), amphibious performance data (85km/h road / 6km/h water speed), and armored protection level documents—meeting military procurement and civilian emergency management standards.
