Identify the equipment and its condition
Use item names or asset references, quantities, dimensions and known weights. Record accessories and separate components. Describe existing damage, fragile parts and handling restrictions before suitability is agreed. Avoid posting sensitive asset information or credentials in public channels; provide only what is needed for the transport discussion.
Separate release, delivery and recommissioning
Your responsible staff should confirm shutdown and any qualified disconnection. Name the person who can authorise release and the recipient who will direct placement. Technical testing, installation and recommissioning remain separate unless expressly agreed. A delivery handover does not certify that machinery or IT systems are operational.
At the agreed handover
- Check the items and loose components against the agreed inventory.
- Confirm the receiving location and access contact.
- Raise discrepancies promptly through the agreed booking contact.
