Measure the whole item
Include handles, protruding parts and the crate or protective packaging in the measurements. Give the weight of the heaviest piece as well as the total where the item separates into parts.
Identify glass, fragile panels, exposed moving parts or a need to keep the item upright. A vehicle with enough space may still need additional equipment or people to handle the load safely.
Plan bulky item delivery around your Solihull access
For Solihull town-centre freight, ask the receiving business whether the goods entrance is within the barrier-controlled High Street or Mell Square area. Confirm the authorised access window and who arranges admission before agreeing a delivery appointment. Supply the loaded dimensions and unloading equipment details, and establish a safe alternative if the vehicle cannot reach the premises directly.
Record length, width, height and gross weight in the packed condition. Confirm the vehicle approach, handling equipment and receiving arrangements at both ends independently.
- For Solihull High Street or Mell Square, establish access permission and the allowed vehicle window before arranging the handover.
- For bulky item delivery, prepare: exact item size and weight; packaging and fragile parts; carrying or lifting requirements.
Agree the handover point
Tell us if the item is in a room, on an upper floor or already beside a loading bay. Freight transport does not automatically include dismantling, installation or room-of-choice delivery.
For furniture carrying, a house move or dismantling, use Movivio via the service links on this page. For a packed or crated load, explain the handling needed in your Freivio enquiry.
