Versatility is claimed for the TC7A and TC11A tracked carriers developed by Bell Equipment and now being offered in Europe. These machines are said to be more robust than competing units, featuring ruggedised construction for longer life. The smaller TC7A has a 7tonne payload while the larger TC11A has a payload of 11tonnes.
The UK contract, worth nearly €1.8 million, is to repaint the entire main span underdeck of the 417m-long bridge, the second oldest operational vehicular suspension bridge in the world.
