Plan the load before choosing the vehicle
Provide each unit’s dimensions and weight, total consignment weight, stackability and any loading order. If goods need side loading, rear loading or specialist restraint, describe that requirement.
Do not select a vehicle solely from its name. Payload, internal dimensions and handling equipment must all fit the consignment. The team will confirm suitability and availability before a booking.
Plan full-load freight at the Craven Arms address
For full-load freight involving Craven Arms, give the full SY7 address and the exact entrance. Use Craven Arms, Shropshire and the complete SY7 address; distinguish the town destination from the wider south Shropshire area and similarly named premises. Identify the exact town, business or rural entrance, including lane width, gradients, surface, gates, railway-side constraints, carrying distance and safe turning space.
Check Shropshire Council's interactive roadworks map, current closures and any required temporary restriction process and all current street signs close to the booked date. A postcode does not establish permission, vehicle suitability or a safe handover point; agree private access with the property contact and arrange any required council permission separately.
- For full-load freight, prepare: total load and unit counts; loading method and sequence; receiving appointment.
- Name the actual Craven Arms entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
Coordinate the two sites
Provide opening hours and any appointment or security requirements at both sites. Explain which party supplies the forklift, lifting equipment and people for each handover.
Flag delays that depend on a seller release, production run or site contact. Waiting, rescheduling and additional stops must be agreed as part of the quote.
