PBB Conversion Packages
A-Bridge, LLC has developed a series of passenger boarding bridge components and controls that allow us to convert virtually any make and/or model of passenger boarding bridge to make use of today’s most advanced technologies. Because the type and age of PBB does not limit our ability to perform these conversions, ameribridge is able to offer an unparalled opportunity to our customers. Advantages of a complete PBB conversion over a tradition PBB refurbishment include:
- Standardization
- Reduce inventory
- Reduce cost by reducing the number of spare parts required to stock. One style of controls and components equals one style of parts to stock.
- Simplified operation and training.
- The A-Bridge, LLC operator control panel is a simple, intuitive, and user friendly interface that is much easier to use than most older PBBs.
- Standardizing a customer’s PBB to use this single control design not only simplifies the day to day operation of the PBB, but it reduces the amount of time and resources required for training PBB operators. Instead of having to train each user to operate multiple types of bridges and/or sets of controls owners can train once and feel confident that each operator can operate any bridge in their fleet safely and effectively.
- Improved product performance and reliability
- A-Bridge, LLC conversion packages utilize superior products.
- Vertical drive motors are 5HP in place of the industry standard 3HP.

- Operator console uses an intuitive combination of tactile controls and an HMI touchscreen to allow the operator a reliable and predictable response and feedback.
