Explain how the machine can be handled
Give the make or type, total mass, dimensions and manufacturer-provided handling information where available. Identify lifting points and any risk of movement or tipping.
Tell us if it contains fuel, oil, batteries or other materials needing review. Disconnecting, draining, dismantling and commissioning are not automatically included.
Plan machinery transport enquiries 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.
Obtain the seller or site operator’s release instructions and the equipment needed to load safely. Declare unusual contents, fragile parts and anything that cannot be stacked before suitability is assessed.
- For Solihull High Street or Mell Square, establish access permission and the allowed vehicle window before arranging the handover.
- For machinery transport enquiries, prepare: weight and centre of gravity; lifting method; fluids and preparation.
Identify equipment at each end
A heavy machine may need lifting equipment or transport beyond a standard van or pallet service. State who provides equipment and appropriately trained operators.
Requests are reviewed individually; this page does not promise crane hire, machinery installation or hazardous-goods transport.
