Compare catalogue dimensions with clear access and manoeuvring space onsite to confirm a container can enter.

Map the access route

Mark receiving door, corridor, turning points, thresholds, lift and cold-room doorway along the delivery path.

Measure clear opening at each point with the door fully open; account for leaf, handle, frame and protective barriers.

Match the container to its technical drawing

Verify the exact model's external envelope from manufacturer drawings, including castors and accessories.

Assess loaded or empty handling, turning radius and threshold crossing in measurable terms.

Trial a sample

Before purchase, test the route safely with a representative container and authorized staff. Record contact at door, turn or lift points.

Add date, store, model code, obstacles and photos to the measurement form.

Repeat site-fit measurements when the route or container equipment changes.
