ALS Germany provide permits & pilot cars

2nd December 2022

The team have created over 400 UK permits in the last 3 years using the Highways England Electronic Service Delivery for Abnormal Loads (ESDAL) system. As an example, the office recently arranged a permit and pilot car for a 30T machine which was loaded on to a semi-low loader for a journey from Killingholme Docks to Gilsland in Cumbria, UK.

In Denmark, a permit and private vehicle escort was provided for a move from Lem to Border, Germany on the E45. This particular move involved the removal of street furniture, 3 x Trucks loaded with 1 x Turbine blade each, combinations were @ L:84.00m x W:4.28m x H:4.47m = 80,000 Kg each.

Permits can be provided for (UK), (IE), (XI), (DK), (F), (NL), (B), (AT), (PL) and more...........

This type of extra work is not only for the benefit of our clients but to ensure a smooth out of gauge / heavy load movement by avoiding obstacles i.e., railway bridges, low bridges, motorway restrictions, weak ground, bus lanes etc and also take into consideration any requirements to remove street furniture on the route.

For advice on any permits and documentation for out of gauge cargo movements, the team can be contacted on +49 (0) 4102 8066566 (Germany) or you can explore our website page HERE.
