Tools & equipment on hire
Equipment delivery and site access
Site, workshop and facility equipment. Hire period and rate basis are confirmed in the written quotation.
Answer
What information is needed before delivering equipment to a site?
Explanation
Why this matters more than it sounds
A failed delivery caused by access nobody mentioned is a wasted trip and a delayed job. The arrangement, responsibility and any applicable charge are confirmed in the written quotation before booking. It is the single most avoidable problem in equipment hire, and it is often a communication gap rather than a genuine obstacle.
Detail
What to tell us
- Road access and width — can a delivery vehicle actually reach the point
- Turning space — and whether reversing is possible
- Overhead clearance — cables, branches, gates, low entrances
- Floor level — and whether a lift is available or it is stairs
- Unloading — who does it, and with what
- Permitted delivery hours — many sites and buildings restrict these
- Permitted working hours — which affects your usable hire period
- Secure overnight storage — storage responsibility during hire is confirmed in the written quotation
- Power available — and its rating or phase where you know it
The site access planner on the tools page captures all of these and adds them to your hire list.
Detail
Collection as an alternative
Where access is genuinely difficult, collecting from us may suit the requirement better than a delivery that needs planning around. Say so on the enquiry and we will tell you whether the equipment suits your vehicle.
