Measure the whole item
Include handles, protruding parts and the crate or protective packaging in the measurements. Give the weight of the heaviest piece as well as the total where the item separates into parts.
Identify glass, fragile panels, exposed moving parts or a need to keep the item upright. A vehicle with enough space may still need additional equipment or people to handle the load safely.
Plan bulky item delivery at your Blockley address
For a Blockley pallet or crate, describe the receiving surface, gradient and space behind the proposed vehicle position. Tail lifts and pallet trucks need a suitable working area; ask for assessment when the final approach is stepped or sloped.
Measure the goods as they will travel, including the base and wrapping. Loading and unloading are separate arrangements; confirm the people, equipment and space available at both addresses.
- For bulky item delivery, prepare: exact item size and weight; packaging and fragile parts; carrying or lifting requirements.
- The street address does not describe the carrying route on a sloping site. Include the rise or fall from the agreed loading position to the doorway and any steps or tight turns.
Agree the handover point
Tell us if the item is in a room, on an upper floor or already beside a loading bay. Freight transport does not automatically include dismantling, installation or room-of-choice delivery.
For furniture carrying, a house move or dismantling, use Movivio via the service links on this page. For a packed or crated load, explain the handling needed in your Freivio enquiry.
