Prepare the measurements, packaging information and handover instructions that keep cargo handling organized.
Measure before arranging transport
Record the outside dimensions and gross weight of packed cargo. Include pallets and other packaging in the measurements. Identify packages that cannot be stacked and provide any relevant loading instructions before equipment is arranged.
Prepare the collection point
Confirm site access, collection contacts and available loading facilities. Agree receiving hours and identify any constraints that may affect the handover. These details help the team review appropriate transport and equipment arrangements.
Keep the handover consistent
Check that package counts match the shipment instructions. Make the cargo reference visible in the handover records and identify the responsible contacts. Document any change to packaging, quantity or timing before dispatch.
Accurate measurements and clear site instructions make the handling plan easier to coordinate.
