Mobilising heavy equipment
Heavy movements combine machine dimensions, carrier availability, permits, escorts, bridge limits, delivery windows and the last kilometre.
Read the whole workface.
Heavy movements combine machine dimensions, carrier availability, permits, escorts, bridge limits, delivery windows and the last kilometre. The useful starting point is the outcome: what must be moved, lifted, compacted, reached, powered or supported, and by when. Equipment class follows that outcome—not the other way around.
Share the exact site location, access dimensions, ground information, programme and expected working hours. Photos, drawings and quantities help a supplier test the proposed configuration against the real task. Ask where the equipment will mobilise from and what is included in the quoted basis.
Availability and site conditions change. Use this guide as a briefing framework, then confirm machine specification, attachments, operator model, transport, documentation, support and current commercial terms directly with the supplier.
Three questions that expose the gaps.
- Who books permits?
- Is the route confirmed?
- Can the site receive the float?
