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 Worcester access
For Worcester freight, match the vehicle plan to the actual receiving premises, not a general city-centre car park. Confirm gross weight, unloading equipment and safe space for the tail lift or forklift. Use the council's large-vehicle guidance where relevant, while obtaining separate permission from the occupier for goods-in access.
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 specific loading bay, vehicle class and property access rather than relying on city-centre proximity.
- 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 Worcester 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. WR1 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.
