Escort vehicles for heavy and out-of-gauge transport
Whether a transport is escorted is not decided by the client but by the permit. It defines whether private escort vehicles suffice or whether the police or other bodies are involved. We coordinate escorts via partners.
What matters
- Permit condition
- Type and number of escort vehicles are stated in the permit.
- Private escort
- Escort vehicles with warning equipment secure the transport – provided by partners.
- Official escort
- With large dimensions or difficult sections, the police may be involved.
- Travel times
- Escorted transports often run at night or at set times.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- Is a permit with conditions already available?
- What are the dimensions of the goods?
- Which countries does the route cross?
- Is there time pressure?
- Where are loading and unloading points?
What we need from you
- Dimensions and weight
- Route
- Time window
- Permit status
Preparation: You hand over the cargo ready for loading with known lifting points – dismantling, assembly and foundation work are handled by your team or your installation partner.
What we do for you

Questions and answers: Escort vehicles
When does a transport need escort vehicles?
When the permit requires it – usually above certain widths or lengths or on difficult sections.
Who provides the escort vehicles?
Escort partners we commission and coordinate as the permit requires – you have one contact for it.
Does an escorted transport run at night?
Often yes, because the permit sets travel times with little traffic. We plan for that.
