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.
Match the Cheltenham entrance to the freight
For a Cheltenham collection, identify whether the address is a residence, business, auction site or storage unit and name the goods entrance. Explain vehicle height or turning constraints reported by the premises contact. Include opening hours and any loading appointment, not just the postcode.
Confirm the load in its travel condition and say who supplies loading and unloading equipment. A destination with no forklift needs its own plan even if collection is straightforward.
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 Cheltenham 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. GL50 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.
