Safe and professional with DENKINGER

Denkinger Internationale Spedition GmbH offers you modern BF2 and BF3 escort vehicles, experienced drivers and comprehensive advice – for maximum safety and successful transportation.

When is an escort vehicle required?

The legal regulations and licensing authorities determine when and which escort vehicle is required. Width, height, length, total mass and the course of the route play a decisive role here.

Width between approx. 3.01 m and 3.50 m: Escort vehicle required for safety if no highway or highway-like road is used.
Width over approx. 3.50 m to 4.50 m: Escort vehicle with variable message sign system (BF3) mandatory.
From approx. 3.75 m width on highways / highway-like roads often mandatory for BF2 or BF3, depending on local regulations and official decisions.

BF2 escort vehicle - the basic protection

A BF2 escort vehicle is equipped with yellow flashing lights, traffic signs and radio communication.
It secures heavy goods vehicles in front and warns oncoming road users.
Regulation: mostly for transports from approx. 3.75 m width on highways or highway-like roads, depending on the route and official situation.

BF3 escort vehicle - enhanced safety with technology

BF3 means: Escort vehicle with variable message sign system (VMS) radiating to the rear.
It can display traffic signs such as the triangle with exclamation mark (sign 101), no overtaking signs (sign 276 or 277) or other signs depending on the road layout and specifications.
BF3 is used for particularly wide transports (> 3.50 m), on routes with high traffic volumes or when required by the authorities.
