# Checklist: technical requirements for courier deliveries to construction sites

Clear technical requirements for couriers and senders on construction sites: dimensions, protection, ground bearing, access and delivery steps.

14 September 2026

## Quick answer

Short answer: For safe courier deliveries to construction sites, confirm vehicle dimensions (length/height), axle and total weight limits, ground bearing capacity, ramp or lifting access, packaging against dust and moisture, and a defined handover zone. Tell drivers about time windows, access points and contact persons in advance.

## Why technical requirements matter

Construction sites vary in terrain, stage of work and safety rules. Missing details can cause delays, damage or denied access. A concise technical checklist lowers risks for sender, recipient and courier.

## Information to provide before departure

Give the courier exact details during booking: full address with GPS, directions, permitted access times, on-site contact and phone, maximum vehicle height and length, axle weight limits, and notes about restricted areas or active work zones.

## Vehicle dimensions and site access

Check access width and clear height. Many sites have narrow entries, containers or cranes. Specify minimum width (for example 2.5–3.0 m) and clear height in meters. Note parking and turning areas and any one-way traffic rules.

## Ground bearing and surface conditions

Temporary site roads may not support heavy vehicles. Ask for allowed axle load (kN or tonnes) and surface type (gravel, soil, concrete). Soft or muddy ground may require lighter vehicles or temporary plates. Mark areas that must not be driven over.

## Ramp, gate and lifting equipment access

State if a fixed ramp, container ramp or forklift is available. If no ramp exists, the courier may need a vehicle-mounted ramp or packages suitable for hand-carry. Provide gate dimensions (width x height) and loading heights so drivers can prepare.

## Packaging and protection against site conditions

Protect against dust, moisture and shocks. Use dustproof and water-resistant packaging, sturdy outer boxes and internal padding. Label fragile items and include delivery notes. Pack sizes should allow vehicle loading and possible manual handling.

## Frequently asked questions

Which vehicle details are essential for booking? Length, width, height, gross vehicle weight and axle loads. Also state if the vehicle has a low load floor or an on-board ramp.

How do I report restricted access or no-drive areas? Enter these details in the "access notes" field when booking. Attach photos or a simple map and provide an on-site contact.

What if the site ground is soft or muddy? Soft ground may require lighter vehicles, temporary track plates or on-site help. Agree measures with the courier before shipping.

Who is responsible for carrying heavy packages on site? Clarify beforehand whether on-site staff will assist with unloading. If no help is available, send items that can be handled by two people or moved with transport aids.
