Product Structure

 

The core component of the Type 321 Bailey bridge is the standardized truss unit (Bailey panel). The standard dimensions of a single Bailey panel are 3 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and 176 millimeters high, weighing approximately 270 kilograms. The truss consists of upper and lower chords (10-channel steel welded back to back), vertical members (8-beam steel), and diagonal members. The ends are equipped with male and female connectors and connecting pin holes for easy rapid assembly. By connecting multiple Bailey panels, bridges of different spans can be flexibly constructed. The applicable span range for a single span is 9 meters to 63 meters (simply supported beam), with a maximum span of 69 meters or 76.2 meters. Support frames are needed to reinforce the joints of multiple rows of trusses to enhance stability. Constructed from 16Mn high-strength steel, the components are highly interchangeable and connected by pins to ensure structural safety.
