The Sarvatra is a 75-meter, multi-span, mobile bridging system consisting of five scissor bridges made of aluminum alloy with a span of 15 meters, each mounted on a separate mobile platform. Each mobile platform is a modified Tatra T-815 VVN 8 x 8 chassis, drivable from both ends from a small cabin with required driving controls.
