You don’t just need transportation? No problem. We also take care of everything else. From permits to heavy transport escort with BF3 vehicles, for example, to police escort – we offer the complete package:

  • Construction site equipment around the crane: e.g. barriers, signage
  • Permit management for oversized and heavy transports: driving permits for heavy transports, coordination with authorities, application for closures, etc.

Transport escort BF2, BF3 and BF4:

Complete service from a single source.

We take over the complete security of your large and heavy transports: with our BF2, BF3 and BF4 escort vehicles – reliable, compliant and throughout Germany. Of course, our services also include route inspections, applying for all permits, signage services and the professional re-steering of transport vehicles by our trained escort drivers and BF drivers.

Depending on the type of transport and legal requirements, different escort vehicles are used:

BF2 vehicle: warns traffic mostly to the front, amber flashing lights

BF3 vehicle: backs up to the rear with the aid of variable message signs (VMS), possibly restricting other road users.

BF4 vehicle: protects transportation to the front, rear and sides with a rotating WVZ system, can also perform police tasks.

When which vehicle is used depends on the circumstances of the transport:

BF2 vehicle: accompanies, for example, transports with widths between 3.01 and 3.50 meters, mostly off freeways and on clear routes.

BF3 vehicle: secures, for example, larger transports on freeways with hard shoulders (from 4.50 meters wide), off freeways (from 3.50 meters wide) or if there is a traffic circle on the route (from 27 meters long).

BF4 vehicle: takes over, for example, if the police do not accompany and the route can be planned and regulated (no discretionary decisions). The road traffic authority determines the number and deployment of the vehicles as well as the traffic regulations.

We are a member of the Federal Association for Heavy Haulage and Crane Work (BSK) and are also a licensed and certified specialist company for heavy haulage escort. Our vehicles are equipped in accordance with BSK regulations. We are also ISO 9001 and SCCP certified. Everything so that you can rely on smooth handling and maximum safety in ongoing traffic.

For all those who want it simple: We offer you a BF2/BF3/BF4 transport escort with a modern escort vehicle and experienced BF driver for your oversized and heavy loads as well as a wide range of transport services such as planning, permits and route inspections – all from a single source.

Frequently asked questions

  • What weights can you transport?
    We transport loads of up to 99.5 tons.

  • How long does it take to organize a heavy transport permit?

  • Do you also transport throughout Europe?
    Yes, BKL Heavy Haulage is available throughout Germany, but we also handle European transports. Please contact us.

  • What does a heavy transport cost?
    The costs depend on the weight, size, route and approval requirements. Contact us for an individual offer.

  • Do you also offer loading and assembly?
    Yes, we have our own equipment (cranes and other lifting gear) and can, for example, handle your machine transportation with loading and assembly. You can find more information under industrial assembly or container assembly.

  • When does a heavy goods vehicle need an escort vehicle?
    Heavy or large-volume transports that do not meet the requirements of the StVZO – i.e. are wider than 2.55 meters, higher than 4 meters or longer than permitted by law – require an official permit. Depending on the requirements of the road traffic authorities, an escort by a BF2 vehicle, a BF3 vehicle or a BF4 vehicle may be required for safety reasons. We at BKL also take care of this with our well-trained BF drivers. Simply contact us to book a BF2/BF3/BF4 transport escort.
