Aerial work platform or crane on the public road: permit and signage

An aerial work platform or crane quickly takes up a piece of the public domain, often in exactly the spot with a lot of passing traffic. Here you can read what you need to arrange before you set the machine up.

When do you need a permit?

As soon as the machine or the zone around it stands (partly) on the pavement, a parking bay or the carriageway, you need a public domain occupancy permit. Even if the crane is only there for one day: the occupancy counts, however short it is.

Which signage goes with it?

• Cordoning off the work zone with site fences, barriers or crowd control barriers.
• No-parking signs (E1 or E3) if you take up a parking bay.
• When occupying the carriageway: additional signs and arrows with flashing lights (D1c/D1d).

Occupying a traffic lane or the carriageway

If you block (part of) the carriageway, a signage plan is usually mandatory and stricter requirements apply, certainly on a regional road. In that case, count on a longer processing time for your permit.

Arrange it all in one go

We apply for the occupancy, draw up the signage plan and deliver the signs and barriers on site on time, so your machine can be set up safely and with a permit straight away.
