Transport and delivery in Paris: controlled access

Organising a goods delivery in Paris requires accurate preparation: collection or delivery address, authorised time slot, stopping options, street width, available height and unloading equipment. Drivet Transport International reviews these constraints before selecting the vehicle.

Depending on volume, weight and access, we may consider a light vehicle, a box truck or a curtainsider truck. This range helps serve narrow streets, shops, offices, construction sites and locations without a loading dock.

For pallet deliveries without a dock, a tail lift combined with a pallet truck may facilitate unloading when the ground, weight and access conditions are suitable.

Restricted-height access

Underground deliveries in Paris with low-height vehicles

Some Paris shops are supplied through docks, car parks or delivery areas located underground. Before arrival, the clear height, door width, ramp gradient and turning radius must be checked.

Drivet Transport International can review a low-height vehicle when the load and the site configuration allow it. The exact vehicle is confirmed only after the access dimensions and unloading area have been checked.

A tail lift and a pallet truck may also be planned when the receiving conditions are compatible.
