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 around your Oldbury access
For Oldbury freight, obtain a goods-vehicle entrance from the consignee instead of routing through a nearby public car park. Published height limits at Oldbury parking sites make vehicle clearance a separate question from the load fitting inside the truck. Confirm gate width, overhead clearance, yard capacity and unloading equipment, and give a contact who can admit the vehicle.
Record length, width, height and gross weight in the packed condition. Confirm the vehicle approach, handling equipment and receiving arrangements at both ends independently.
- Check the named Oldbury car park's height limit and the actual loading entrance before choosing a vehicle position.
- For full-load freight, prepare: total load and unit counts; loading method and sequence; receiving appointment.
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.
Your Oldbury enquiry checklist
- For full-load freight, have these details ready: total load and unit counts; loading method and sequence; receiving appointment.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. B69 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.
