Measure the pinch points
Show gates, bends and overhead restrictions on the route. Tell the operator where the vehicle could turn and what surface it would use. Do not assume access for a car means access for a loaded skip lorry.
Account for stone and soil
Landscaping and repair work can produce a small-looking but heavy load. Estimate dense material separately from timber and packaging, and ask for the appropriate weight allowance before deciding on size.
