- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
