Aluminum 'bridging ladder '

Used to carry a heavily loaded vehicle
across a gap or up a steep embankment.

Bridging ladders are designed to get you across those deep narrow washes, crevasses between rocks, or partial washouts on dirt roads. They are much stronger than sand ladders or PSP. You can also lean bridging ladder against embankments to get that front bumper up over the step.

And yes, you can just lay bridging ladder s flat in front of your wheels and use them as traditional sand ladders.

Our aluminum bridging ladders are beautifully made and sold as a pair. They are 5' long and accommodate a 10" tire tread width. Weight is only 20 lbs. each, much less than steel planks. They will accommodate a fully loaded Land Rover Defender 110, Jeep or Toyota Land Cruiser with no problem.

Mantec bridging ladders have been the choice for both Camel Trophy and the Land Rover G4 Challenge.  Plus they scored very high for use as a sand ladder during testing performed by the Overland Journal.

As seen here they can even be stacked up to level out places where extreme body lean would otherwise occur that could cause a tip over. Versatile, rugged and light weight.

If you don't take your truck into places requiring a bridge, check out our sand ladders to improve traction in the loose stuff.
