DELIVERY
Delivery to site is included, based on access being available for a 45’ articulated vehicle. Should smaller delivery vehicles be required, an additional charge may be made. It is the client’s responsibility to offload the delivery vehicles and we allow 2 hours per vehicle on site for this to be carried out. We therefore recommend mechanical off load by forklift and would recommend it be capable of lifting 3 Tonnes and have extension forks being a minimum of 2.50m long.
