Turn a lot description into transport details
An auction catalogue may list the object size rather than its packed dimensions. Ask the auctioneer whether the lot is crated, on a pallet or loose, and obtain the gross weight. Confirm exactly which pieces are included.
Explain whether the auction site supplies a forklift or requires the buyer to arrange all lifting. Enter the collection reference only after checking that the goods are authorised for release.
Plan auction freight collections at your Northway address
Northway includes homes, workplaces and managed premises with different entrances. Give the complete GL20 address, exact goods or furniture entrance, surface, access window and the person who can authorise the agreed handover point. Record packed length, width, height and gross weight, plus tail-lift or forklift needs separately at collection and delivery. Check the Gloucestershire Highways maps for current or planned works on the booked date. This guidance does not grant loading permission, promise access or confirm availability.
Measure goods as they will travel. Loading and unloading are separate arrangements; confirm the people, equipment and space at both addresses.
- For auction freight collections, prepare: auction release deadline; lot dimensions and weight; loading appointment.

Keep the deadline visible
Add the last permitted collection date and booked loading slot to the enquiry. Auction storage charges and the transport booking are separate arrangements.
Do not rely on a submitted enquiry to meet an auction deadline. Confirm vehicle availability and the collection plan before committing to the appointment.
