Diagram showing bridge and raft design features
CNIM is a leader in the design and manufacture of fast deployment military bridges of all kinds, including floating, dry-support, assault tactical, logistic and rafts.
Tank crossing a floating bridge
Switzerland/Leo 2 crossing on PFM in fast current. With PFM all the bridge construction tasks are mechanised and the bridge itself is permanently fitted with outboard engines. Owing to its capabilities, the PFM can be used as a tactical in-stride crossing means as well as a logistic bridge or raft.
Assualt raft approaching floating bridge
The PFM SIR allows changes in stride from assault raft to bridge mode, the raft laying down the short ramp on the bank to become immediately a bridge part.
PAR 70 articulated truck bridge transporter
PAR 70 articulated truck (transporter/launcher) during launching. The PAR 70 unit is transported and launched/retrieved by a launching device mounted on the semi-trailer itself.
Modular assault bridges diagram
The PTA modular assault bridges are an actual breakthrough in assault bridging. Fitted respectively with 2 and 3 bridge sections, they allow the length of the bridge to be adapted to the width of the gap.

Single-span girder bridge
The Medium Girder Bridge (MGB) is a lightweight, easily-transported aluminium alloy bridge set.
Tactical bridge unit on deployment
Medium Girder Bridge (MGB) units can be adapted for most tactical bridging requirements and types of gap crossing.
Support bridge in use
New: the M18 Dry Support Bridge (DSB) has raised the standard for deployment of bridges in a vast range of military situations.
Portable ferry bridge being air transported on a helicopter
The Air Portable Ferry Bridge (APFB) is a complete modular system that can be transported rapidly and easily by land, sea and air.
Portable ferry bridge in use
The APFB can be hand built by troops or trained civilians in military or civil emergency applications, to bridge both wet and dry gaps, and incorporates a ferry system.
