Bridges
America’s moveable bridges are key links in our national transportation system, but many are aging. Their mechanical, electrical and hydraulic control and power systems are often at or near the end of their anticipated design life. That means they’re difficult and expensive to maintain. Infrastructure projects, like repairing bridges, are a great use of Recovery Act funds.

One-stop solution provider
Electrical and Hydraulic solutions for moveable bridges are complex systems of components that must be highly reliable and easy to maintain. Eaton is a one stop solution provider for moveable bridge systems. With a full range of electrical and hydraulic solutions, our sales engineers can put all the pieces together to assemble a complete package that suits the needs of your infrastructure projects.
Easier installation
Installing, configuring and testing power control equipment can be a complicated, time-consuming process. Eaton's motor control centers and hydraulic packaged solutions are easier to install, reducing the cost of installation. And they're designed to make key components easy to access, making maintenance and repairs quicker and easier.
Extend useful life
Many moveable bridges use aging equipment that's well beyond its anticipated useful life. Older equipment is more likely to fail, and replacement parts can be expensive and hard to find. Eaton's extensive selection of aftermarket solutions and services can extend the useful life of equipment by replacing key components before they fail.
Smoother operation in harsh environments
Moveable bridges expose electrical and hydraulic equipment to harsh operating conditions like high humidity and corrosion. Many Eaton solutions are highly rated for water-tightness and resistance to corrosion. That helps assure reliable operation and longer equipment life.
