20' Portable Bridge Rental

Some crossings do not need a long span; that's when a 20' temporary access bridge rental comes in handy. A narrow ditch, a small creek, or a low spot in a driveway can still stop vehicles and equipment or cause ongoing erosion. Our 20 foot steel bridges give you a compact, engineered solution for these shorter gaps so you can fix problem spots without overbuilding.

ME Bridge Solutions builds 20 foot prefabricated bridges using the same modular, I-beam construction as our larger units. Panels are designed to handle real traffic, installed with standard equipment, and set on practical bearing surfaces that fit your site. A single 20 foot access bridge rental can stand alone over a small crossing or serve as an approach span tied into a larger structure.

Where a 20' Access Bridge Rental Makes Sense

A shorter span is often the right answer when you are dealing with:

• Narrow creeks and drainage ditches
  
• Crossings close to driveways, buildings, or fence lines
  
• Tight rights-of-way where longer bridges are difficult to place
  

Because our system is modular, 20 foot bridges can also be paired with other lengths to fine-tune an overall crossing. That flexibility makes them useful across several of our bridge types.

Common Uses for a 20' Access Bridge Rental

Residential driveways and private lanes

For many homeowners and small farms, the main problem is a single washout or culvert that fails during heavy rain. 20 foot residential prefabricated bridges are often enough to span a driveway ditch, small creek, or pond outlet and restore reliable access to a barn, garage, or back field. The shorter length keeps the footprint compact while still handling pickups, deliveries, and service vehicles.

ATV and trail crossings

On hunting properties, recreational land, and small trail systems, a 20 foot ATV Bridge can carry machines over narrow streams and mud holes that never quite dry out. The span is long enough to clear the bad spot but small enough to move with a tractor or skid steer as trails change. These shorter bridges are also useful as approach sections tied into longer Logging Bridges on active timber ground.

Pedestrian and utility access

Parks, campuses, and utility corridors often need simple crossings over shallow channels or drainage features. 20 foot Pedestrian Prefabricated Bridges can connect walkways across a ditch without major earthwork. In similar locations, a 20 foot Utility Bridge can give bucket trucks and line trucks a defined path over a low spot or small creek under powerlines or along a pipeline right-of-way.
