Delivery
Delivery is priced separately
from the cost of the shelters
|
Littlethorpe shelters are fully assembled, decorated
and glazed in our factory.
They weigh about 1000kg and are delivered on a
lorry with a crane attachment, as shown right, which carefully lowers each fully finished
shelter into pre-prepared foundation holes.

The price of delivering each shelter is quoted separately
from the cost of manufacture because we want our clients to get the best
possible price.
A fixed price can be given for delivery once we have
a delivery address or post code.
There are several things that should be checked before
arranging delivery;
-
Overhead power
cables; we need to be sure there are no cables near the shelter
-
Overhanging trees;
the crane jib requires a vertical clearance of about twenty feet or
6.5M
-
The speed limit; if the speed limit is 50mph or above and
there is no lay-by for the lorry to park in while un-loading, traffic
management will be required, this can be arranged but it will be an
additional cost.
If there are road junctions, bends in the road or any other
possible complications near by we need to know before hand so we can
prepare a traffic management plan.
A couple of photos of the delivery site e-mailed to us along
with the exact address are helpful to make sure the delivery runs smoothly.
When a delivery date is decided on, a time of day for the
delivery will be agreed, our lorry can usually arrive within 10minutes of
that time. The mobile phone number of the driver is given to the site
contractor and we encourage vice versa; this eliminates any unnecessary
waiting time at the installation site by the contractor.
