What to check at your site before machinery arrives
Confirm packed dimensions, unloading arrangements, installation space, and utility connections.
Request the packed dimensions and weight, along with handling and lifting instructions. Check that the delivery vehicle can reach the unloading area, measure doorways and turns, and confirm who will arrange unloading.
For equipment that will be installed in a fixed position, check the foundation, floor loading, maintenance clearance, and electrical supply against the final model. Follow the supplier’s installation documentation for any air, water, drainage, or ventilation requirements. For mobile equipment, check the working area and any charging or refueling arrangements.
Before delivery, agree on who will receive the shipment, what they will check, and how to report discrepancies. If commissioning or training is planned, confirm the people and preparations needed on site.
