ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a ramp section or assembly for a collapsible floating bridge or ferry. The ramp section comprises two inner and two part outer float elements, connected together by joints. The two parts of the float element are, according to the invention, composed of a pair of partial constant and partial transversely convering cross section and a pair movable relative to the part of partial constant and partial transversely converging cross section, which are pivotably connected by first joints. Through the first joint the movable part can be brought into aligned arrangement or juxtaposition with the part of constant cross section when picking up from or setting down on a transport vehicle, so that guiding by the rollers connected with the transport vehicle is achieved.
