Lowbeds, tilt trailers & dump trailers
Equipment delivery and material hauling require different transport arrangements. Specify the equipment, route and unloading space, then ask the haulier to confirm the suitable trailer and any route requirements.
Tracks & undercarriage
Rubber tracks, steel tracks and undercarriage components must match the particular machine. Record the exact model and configuration, and ask the supplier to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Bucket teeth & cutting edges
Wear parts are part of a working system. Identify the bucket, mounting system and material being handled rather than selecting by appearance alone. Clarify replacement supply and downtime arrangements.
Pumps & wellpoint systems
Water management needs an agreed collection and discharge approach. Define who assesses the conditions, provides the system and checks that the discharge arrangements meet the project requirements.
Generators, compressors & light towers
Support plant should be specified around the connected equipment and working hours. Account for placement, distribution, servicing and the responsibility for fuel or energy supply.
Water trucks & dust-control equipment
Describe the surfaces, work areas and available water supply. Ask how the proposed equipment fits the site traffic plan and who manages refilling and changing conditions.
Define the complete scope
Ask for the proposed machine configuration, delivery arrangements, supporting equipment, material handling and finished result in writing. Separate confirmed site information from assumptions, and agree how changed conditions will be documented and priced.
Questions before comparing proposals
- What is included in mobilisation?
- Which wear items are chargeable extras?
- Who maintains and refuels the support plant?
