Worksites often impose access, time-slot, circulation, handling and coordination constraints. The vehicle must be suited both to the goods and to the actual conditions at the site.
We review pallets, materials, equipment, machinery and specific loads according to weight, dimensions and the loading and unloading resources available.
Drivet Transport International
Construction machinery, palletised materials, long loads, technical equipment and bulk goods all require different transport arrangements. Drivet Transport International reviews each shipment according to the goods, overall dimensions, site access, available handling equipment and delivery constraints.
Mini excavators, access platforms, compactors, loaders and other site machinery require a review of weight, dimensions, mobility and loading or unloading conditions. Depending on the equipment, a machinery carrier, flatbed truck or other dedicated solution may be required. Oversized equipment may fall within abnormal-load transport requirements.
Steel structures, beams, prefabricated elements, machinery or loads that are difficult to load from the rear may require a flatbed truck. Side or crane loading, blocking and load securing must be planned around the shape, weight and dimensions of the goods.
Palletised supplies, consumables, equipment or packaged materials may need to be delivered to sites without a loading dock or forklift. Where the weight, access and ground conditions allow, a vehicle equipped with a tail lift and pallet truck can help place the goods at ground level. Feasibility must be checked for each shipment and site.
Aggregates, soil and other materials suitable for a tipper body require transport matched to their volume, weight and unloading method. Tipping operations also require an accessible, stable and sufficiently clear unloading area.
Some construction machinery, structures and equipment exceed standard road transport dimensions or weights. Drivet Transport International can review the overall dimensions, route, site access and traffic constraints in order to identify a suitable abnormal-load transport solution.
A construction-site delivery must be planned beyond the road journey itself: access width and condition, traffic restrictions, delivery slot, parking area, availability of a crane or forklift and sufficient space for manoeuvring. This information helps Drivet Transport International select an organisation that matches the actual site conditions and reduces difficulties at delivery.
On a construction site, the largest vehicle is not always the most suitable. Some locations are in city centres, inner courtyards, narrow streets or behind access points where an articulated truck cannot manoeuvre. Drivet Transport International can therefore review a delivery using its light curtain-sided vehicles when the weight, volume and dimensions of the goods allow it.
Their more compact format helps bring materials and equipment closer to the work area while maintaining useful handling flexibility. Depending on the vehicle and the equipment available on site, goods may be handled by crane, loaded or unloaded vertically through the roof, collected by telehandler or carried under a protective curtain with suitable load securing.
Before a restricted-access worksite delivery, we review the key constraints: access width and height, turning space, parking possibilities, package weight and dimensions, handling equipment, authorised time slot and safety conditions. The aim is to select a realistic delivery arrangement in advance and avoid a shipment that is perfectly feasible on the road becoming impossible during the final metres.
Not every worksite can accommodate or manoeuvre a heavy goods vehicle. City centres, inner courtyards, narrow streets, occupied construction zones and small unloading areas can all require a more compact solution. When the weight and volume of the goods allow it, a light curtain-sided vehicle can make it easier to reach the delivery point. Access width, available height, parking and the delivery slot must still be checked in advance.
Some crates, equipment and construction materials cannot easily be handled from the rear. Where the vehicle is suitable, a curtain-sided or demountable-cover body can allow vertical handling through the roof. Crane operations must be prepared around the lifting points, load weight, available space and the worksite’s safety requirements.
When a worksite has a telehandler or other handling equipment, the delivery can be coordinated so the goods are collected directly from the vehicle. Drivet Transport International anticipates the equipment availability, delivery slot, lifting capacity and vehicle positioning area with the site to reduce waiting time and unnecessary handling.
A smaller vehicle still requires rigorous load preparation. Pallets, equipment, long parts and packaged materials must be blocked and secured according to their weight and geometry. A curtain-sided body also protects the goods during transit while retaining, depending on the vehicle, useful loading flexibility for construction-site constraints.
