ParaTop - Ganged Bridge Overhang System for Cast In-place Concrete Bridge Decks

Paratop is a rentable, ganged bridge overhang system that is cycled from pour to pour via crane fork or boom lift typically in 20’ long by 8’ wide units with installed guardrails. Due to its modular system concept, ParaTop can be adapted to different cross-sections, beam types, deck cantilevers and Screed Loads. Even under heavy load conditions, Paratop is capable of supporting large bracket spacings in the range of 6‘ to 10‘, simplifying the work and reducing the number of inserts, parts and pieces on site drastically.

By cycling Paratop from pour to pour in large gangs without disassembly and reassembly in place and by hand, bridge contractors have consistently improved safety and achieved three times faster forming cycles with the same crew size as compared to traditional handset overhang systems.
