To mobilise plant smoothly, confirm the gate, delivery window, site contact, induction process and any escort or traffic control; prepare a firm, level unloading area clear of overhead hazards; and complete a documented handover inspection covering condition, hours, attachments and breakdown procedure.
Confirm the arrival
Share the gate, induction process, delivery window and site contact. Confirm whether escorts, traffic control or a spotter are required.
Prepare the ground
Check bearing capacity, slopes, overhead hazards and the unloading surface. Define a safe exclusion zone before the delivery vehicle arrives.
Record the handover
Photograph condition, log hours, review controls and attachments, and note the supplier's breakdown process before work begins.
Common questions
Who should receive the delivery?
A competent site contact who understands access, isolation, induction and the agreed equipment specification.
What can delay mobilisation?
Unclear gate directions, unsuitable unloading ground, induction gaps, overhead constraints and late changes to attachments.
