The medium girder bridge (MGB) is a lightweight, man-portable bridge that can be assembled without help from heavy equipment. In addition, it is also a deck type, two-girder bridging system capable of carrying loads up to and including main battle tanks (MBT).
MGB was originally produced by Fairey Engineering Ltd. in Stockport, England, and is still made to this day by its successor WFEL, based on a design by MVEE in Christchurch.
MGB was originally sold to the British Army in 1971, subsequently also being sold to many other nations, including the Canadian, Dutch, Danish, Swiss, German and US Militaries.
