Check site readiness before equipment is dispatched
Packaging equipment hire needs a usable installation space as well as a place on the production plan. Send Worthing a simple layout showing the proposed machine position, operator stations, nearby equipment and the route from the unloading point. Include doorways, changes in floor level and space needed to move packaging materials or remove finished goods. An equipment footprint alone does not describe the working area.
Confirm the exact utilities required by the proposed configuration. Ask for electrical supply, connection and compressed-air requirements in writing, then have the site check what is available at the intended position. Include any extraction, drainage or cleaning constraints that affect the application. Where hired equipment connects to another machine, identify conveyor height and who will review controls and guarding at the interface.
Agree responsibility for offloading, positioning, installation and checks before production starts. HSE guidance identifies inspection needs where safety depends on installation conditions. Add the operator instruction, sample materials and cleaning arrangements needed for handover. A site-readiness review helps separate delivery from the point at which the equipment can start the planned run, making the hire schedule more realistic.
Is the machine footprint enough to confirm it fits?
Allow for safe operator access, material replenishment, finished goods, cleaning and maintenance as well as the equipment itself. Show the full working arrangement and unloading route on the layout.
Who confirms the utility connections for hired machinery?
The proposed machine specification should state the requirements. Agree who will verify the site supplies and make any connections before delivery, especially where installation needs a competent specialist.
