Incidents like this continue to disrupt rail services, damage vehicles, and create major safety risks. And while HGVs often dominate the conversation around bridge strikes, this latest example is a reminder that the risk affects far more than just heavy goods vehicles.
Vans, buses, coaches, and specialist vehicles can all end up on unfamiliar routes or relying too heavily on sat nav, making low bridge awareness essential across the entire fleet sector. That’s why more operators are turning to proactive solutions like the Durite Low Bridge Detection System.
Our system gives drivers real time, in cab alerts when they’re approaching a low bridge - even if their sat nav doesn’t flag it or their route changes unexpectedly. It adds a crucial layer of protection that helps stop these costly and disruptive incidents.
What the system delivers:
• GPS based low bridge detection
• Early, clear warnings for drivers
• Protection for HGVs, buses, coaches, vans, and more
• Reduced risk of collisions and downtime
• Lower insurance exposure and operational disruption
Bridge strikes shouldn’t be a recurring news story. With the right tools, they don’t have to be.
