ACCESS TO PROPERTY
Deliveries are normally kerbside only. Delivery onto the property is at the discretion of the driver.
Standard deliveries are done on an 18 tonne vehicle measuring 2.8m wide x 4m high x 11m long (including the tail lift) The delivery onto the property will be done on a pallet pump truck if possible and at the discretion of the driver.
RESTRICTED ACCESS
The use of restricted access vehicles, is to make delivery to the kerbside of the property – NOT onto the property. (Please note that sometimes it will be a 12 tonne vehicle depending on vehicle availability). The delivery depot reserves the right to assess the road access to the kerbside of the property and supply a vehicle they deem appropriate.
Vehicles have ‘curtain sides’ which are susceptible to tears from encroaching trees and shrubs.
Please note that overhanging branches need to be taken into account for restricted access.
RESTRICTED ACCESS VEHICLE LOAD
Please note that the maximum delivery on a restricted access vehicle is 780KG . Larger orders will be despatched on an 18 tonne vehicle.
Vehicle size is approximately 2.8m wide x 3.4m high x 7.5m length (9.3 with tail lift) – about the size of a refuse vehicle with a crusher.
All vehicles require a level surface for unloading – all wheels must be on the ground and level to operate the tail lift.
The pallet pump truck has very small wheels and cannot move on these surfaces as the wheels get trapped when they sink into the soft surfaces
The pallet truck cannot be controlled on slopes due to the weight on the pallet. Pushing almost 1 tonne up a slight gradient is not possible for 1 man.
NO GRASS OR SOFT GROUND
NO SLOPES AS NOT ALL HAULIERS OPERATE MOTORISED PUMP TRUCKS
NO GRAVEL REGARDLESS HOW SOLID THE GROUND IS UNDERNEATH
NO LIPS OR DIPS
