Explain how the machine can be handled
Give the make or type, total mass, dimensions and manufacturer-provided handling information where available. Identify lifting points and any risk of movement or tipping.
Tell us if it contains fuel, oil, batteries or other materials needing review. Disconnecting, draining, dismantling and commissioning are not automatically included.
Plan machinery transport enquiries around your Aldridge access
For Aldridge freight, give the business unit, gate instructions and a receiving contact rather than only a WS9 postcode. Confirm that the unloading area is inside the agreed site boundary and that the intended vehicle can turn. Where roadside loading is proposed, verify the restrictions and permission independently of the customer's opening hours.
Obtain the seller or site operator’s release instructions and the equipment needed to load safely. Declare unusual contents, fragile parts and anything that cannot be stacked before suitability is assessed.
- Agree a lawful Aldridge loading location and a fallback carrying or handover point if restricted road space cannot be used.
- For machinery transport enquiries, prepare: weight and centre of gravity; lifting method; fluids and preparation.
Identify equipment at each end
A heavy machine may need lifting equipment or transport beyond a standard van or pallet service. State who provides equipment and appropriately trained operators.
Requests are reviewed individually; this page does not promise crane hire, machinery installation or hazardous-goods transport.
Your Aldridge enquiry checklist
- For machinery transport enquiries, have these details ready: weight and centre of gravity; lifting method; fluids and preparation.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. WS9 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
