Plan the load before choosing the vehicle
Shurdington includes homes, workplaces and community premises with different entrances. Give the complete GL51 address, exact furniture or goods entrance, steps or lift, surface, carrying distance, lawful vehicle position and the contact who can authorise the handover. 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.
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 at your Shurdington address
For Shurdington pallets or heavy goods, describe the surface and working space at the exact goods entrance. Confirm tail-lift or forklift requirements at collection and delivery separately.
Measure goods as they will travel. Loading and unloading are separate arrangements; confirm the people, equipment and space at both addresses.
- For full-load freight, prepare: total load and unit counts; loading method and sequence; receiving appointment.
- Distinguish Shurdington, Shurdington and the exact premises. Confirm whether the vehicle may use a drive, managed entrance or agreed street position and who can authorise it.
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.
