A delivery route must work for the largest load, not the average truck

Road and gate access should be checked against the actual vehicle, trailer, load, lifting plan, weather, and site traffic.

Semi-truck, lifting vehicle, and work area arranged for equipment delivery

Check the complete route

  • Public-road restrictions, permits, bridge and culvert limits, grades, curves, and seasonal conditions
  • Private-road width, surface, shoulders, drainage, soft areas, and passing locations
  • Gate width and height, turning radius, overhead wires, branches, signs, and parked equipment

Plan arrival and unloading

  • Staging location if the site cannot receive the load immediately
  • Traffic control, spotters, delivery window, and emergency access
  • Crane, forklift or telehandler position and ground-bearing condition
  • Laydown orientation that matches the installation sequence

Define the weather decision

Name who can postpone the delivery, what road or wind condition triggers the decision, where the load can wait, and how the crew and equipment schedule will be changed.
