Plan the delivery

Site access near Tilbury

Access requirements depend on the container and the vehicle assigned to the job. We confirm the safe working space before booking rather than relying on one clearance figure for every delivery.

Common delivery routes: A13 and M25 for Essex and Greater London, with onward routes into Kent, Surrey and Hertfordshire.

Local consideration: Urban deliveries may require checks for parking controls, restricted streets, parked vehicles, overhead cables and limited crane working space.

What to send with your enquiry

  • Entrance and route width

    Measure the narrowest gate, lane or access point and note any tight bends on the approach.

  • Turning and working space

    Share the available space for the delivery vehicle to enter, position and leave safely.

  • Overhead clearance

    Identify cables, branches, canopies and buildings along the route and beside the placement area.

  • Ground and slope

    The vehicle and container need firm, level ground. Tell us about soft ground, gradients, drains or weak surfaces.

  • Final container position

    Mark the intended door direction and the distance from the vehicle to the set-down point.

  • Photos and measurements

    Send clear photos or a short video with measurements. We use them to select the appropriate delivery vehicle.
