Abstract: A servicing bridge (10) for servicing a vehicle (14) is provided including a main bridge section (16) that is mechanically coupled to a terminal (22) and a bridgehead (18). A retractable bridge extension system (12) is mechanically coupled to the bridgehead (18). The extension system (12) includes a bridge extension (30) that mates a bridge floor (36) to a vehicle floor (38) and extends the servicing bridge (10). A bridge extension bumper (32) is mechanically coupled to the bridge extension (30) and dampens contact between the bridge extension (30) and the vehicle (14). An extension mechanism (34) is mechanically coupled to the bridge extension (30) and the servicing bridge (10) and actuates the bridge extension (30).
