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 at the Stone address
For machinery transport enquiries involving Stone, give the full ST15 address and the exact entrance. Use Stone, Staffordshire and the complete ST15 address; distinguish it from Stone in Worcestershire and other similarly named places or premises. Identify the exact canalside, high-street, residential, business or rural entrance and record road width, bridge approaches, gates, surface, carrying distance and safe turning space.
Check Staffordshire County Council's roadworks map, traffic regulation orders, parking guidance and any required temporary traffic-management 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 machinery transport enquiries, prepare: weight and centre of gravity; lifting method; fluids and preparation.
- Name the actual Stone entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
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.
