Salt Delivery Day: Preparing Your Site for a 45-Tonne Load
End dumps and live bottoms need room to manoeuvre. What your site needs before a full-size salt delivery arrives.
A smooth delivery gets salt into storage quickly and safely. A little preparation avoids waiting time and rejected loads.
Access and clearance
- A clear, firm approach wide enough for a tractor-trailer.
- Overhead clearance for an end dump raising its box.
- A turnaround area so the truck doesn’t reverse onto a road.
At the storage area
Clear the pad, open the doors and have a loader ready to push the pile back as it’s tipped.
Paperwork
Have your PO or quote number ready and check the delivery ticket weight before the driver leaves.
