Preparing receipt of high-value goods
Many problems arise not en route but at destination: nobody is there, the lift is too small, the forklift is missing. Well-prepared receipt makes the handover of high-value goods calm and traceable.
What matters
- Contact person
- A named person with a deputy, reachable on the handover day.
- Handover point and access
- Exactly where the handover takes place, how the vehicle gets there, which registration is needed.
- Handling equipment and routes
- Forklift, pallet truck, lift, door widths – suited to the largest package.
- Check and acclimatisation
- Check packages at handover; open sensitive goods only after adjusting.
