Planning
Preparing loading and unloading points for heavy goods
A heavy transport that has to wait at the loading point costs time and money – and sometimes the permit, if travel times are missed. A well-prepared loading and unloading point is therefore part of the planning.
What matters
- Space
- Vehicle, crane and outriggers need area – including room to manoeuvre.
- Ground
- Firm enough for vehicle and crane outriggers.
- Lifting
- Overhead crane, mobile crane or other equipment – available or via partners.
- Staff and times
- A contact on site, also at night or early hours.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- How much space is there at loading and unloading points?
- What is the ground like?
- Is lifting available?
- Is someone reachable on site at the travel times?
- Are there obstacles such as cables or trees?
What we need from you
- Space (in conversation, photos welcome)
- Ground
- Lifting
- Contact
Preparation: You hand over the cargo ready for loading with known lifting points – dismantling, assembly and foundation work are handled by your team or your installation partner.
What we do for you
What we organise
- Feasibility check per project with questions on missing values
- Coordination of permits, escort vehicles, route surveys and lifting equipment via partners
- Quote with the agreed scope once the transport can be planned
Good to know
A prepared, load-bearing area at the loading point saves time – we tell you what vehicle and crane need.
How it works
- 01
Request
You state the cargo, dimensions and weight per piece with units, rough route and time window – marking anything unknown.
- 02
Review
We go through the situation with you and clarify what needs preparing.
- 03
Quote
After the feasibility check you receive a quote with the agreed scope, including partner services.
- 04
Execution
Loading and unloading at the agreed time, with existing or partner equipment.
Questions and answers: Preparing loading and unloading points
What must be prepared at a loading point for heavy transport?
Sufficient space, firm ground, lifting and a contact at the travel times.
Do photos of the loading point help?
Yes, a lot. Photos of access, space and obstacles often save a site visit.
What happens if the vehicle has to wait at the loading point?
Waiting costs money and can jeopardise the permit's travel times. That is why we clarify the loading point beforehand.
