Vehicle for laying dismountable bridges

In a vehicle for laying movable bridges, including a laying device, disposed at one end of the vehicle, for displacing and laying a bridge which includes bridge sections that can be assembled on the vehicle, and a pick-up device, disposed at a position on the vehicle which is spaced from said laying device in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, for picking up and supporting a bridge section so as to permit coupling of bridge sections at the same height with respect to said laying device, the improvement wherein

• said pick-up device has means for supporting a plurality of the bridge sections when said plurality of the bridge sections are in a coupled state, such that the plurality of coupled bridge sections are displaceable relative to said supporting means away from the laying device in the longitudinal direction;
• and
• said pick-up device is spaced from said laying device in the longitudinal direction a distance which is dimensioned so that at least one bridge section can be inserted between bridge sections supported by said laying device and said pick-up device.
