Girder Dolly Used in Bridge Construction Projects

DATE : Mar 14th, 2025

Girder dolly is the key transportation equipment in bridge construction, which is mainly used for the efficient and safe transportation of prefabricated beams. With high stability and mobility, girder dolly has become the important equipment in modern bridge construction projects.

The Use of Girder Dolly in Bridge Construction

 

1. Long distance transportation of prefabricated beams

 

In bridge construction, the girder dolly can transport ultra-long and overweight T beams, box beams, section beams directly from the precast yard to the exact location, reducing secondary handling and improving construction efficiency.

 

2. Adapt to complex construction environment

 

The construction site environment of bridge projects is usually complicated. The girder dolly has all-wheel special, hydraulic suspension system, etc., which can adapt to a variety of complex working conditions, including narrow construction roads and unpaved roads, to ensure that the beam sheet is safely delivered to the designated position.

 

3. Cooperate with the beam launch to complete the installation of prefabricated beams

 

After the girder dolly transports the prefabricated beam to the bridge site, it needs to cooperate with the beam launch, crane and other equipment to complete the installation of the prefabricated beam. The girder dolly can be seamlessly connected with the beam launch, which reduces manual intervention and improves the construction accuracy.

 

4. Prefabricated bridge construction

 

Transporting prefabricated elements to the site for assembly using the girder dolly is known as prefabricated construction. Girder dolly can transport various prefabricated elements to speed up assembly construction.

 

Girder Dolly VS Other Transportation Equipment in Bridge Construction Projects

 

Due to the unique design of the girder dolly, it can adapt to the transportation needs of ultra-long, overweight prefabricated components. It is difficult for ordinary flat trucks or heavy trucks to carry such large components.

 

1. Stronger carrying capacity

 

The modular multi-axis design of the girder dolly can expand the load capacity according to the demand, and the bicycle can transport dozens to hundreds of tons of prefabricated beams. However, the carrying capacity of ordinary transportation equipment is limited.

 

2. More professional

 

As the special transportation equipment, the girder dolly can adapt to the transportation needs of ultra-long and overweight prefabricated beams. Ordinary transport vehicles are generally unable to carry such very large prefabricated components.

 

3. Higher transportation stability

 

Due to its unique design, the girder dolly can reduce the shaking of the prefabricated beam during transportation, thereby avoiding damage caused by road turbulence. However, ordinary transportation vehicles have poor stability and high safety risks during long-distance transportation.

 

4. Higher construction safety

 

Because of the intelligent control system, the girder dolly can maintain the stability of the prefabricated beam during transportation and reduce safety risks.

 

5. Adapt to different bridge construction

 

Girder dolly is not only suitable for highway bridge, railway bridge construction, but also can adapt to viaduct, urban viaduct and other bridge projects.

 

Due to the advantages of professional design, high transportation stability, high construction efficiency and high safety, the girder dolly is more competitive in bridge construction projects. If you are interested in girder dolly, do not hesitate to contact us!
