The right unit can still fail the job if it cannot reach the site, sit level, connect safely or fit the staff workflow. Verify the physical plan before dispatch.
Start here
- Photograph the entire vehicle route and proposed placement area.
- Measure gates, turns, overhead clearance, loading height and usable footprint.
- Confirm the surface is suitable for the offered equipment and delivery method.
- Identify security, noise, exhaust, drainage and after-hours restrictions.
Facts to confirm before dispatch
- Voltage, phase, amperage and connection type
- Distance from the unit to the approved power source
- Ramp, dock, shelving, cart and pallet requirements
- Staff access and door-opening frequency
- Monitoring, sanitation and product-handling responsibilities
Send site photos and electrical details with the request. A clear site review prevents avoidable dispatch delays and mismatched equipment.
