Specialist Escort Vehicles

Compliant with current ALES requirements

A new code of practice from the Highways Agency allows for the use of self escorts for abnormal loads in certain situations.

• The primary role of any escort vehicle is to alert other road users and pedestrians of the presence of an abnormal load or abnormal vehicle. The escort person in the vehicle shall also act as the contact point with others while escorting the load or vehicle.
• The escort vehicle and its occupants shall assist the abnormal load or abnormal vehicle in safely negotiating the transport route, as well as controlling and directing traffic when accredited Level 2 persons are employed

We can provide escort vehicles, fully equipped according to the code of practice, for this requirement.
