How to arrange delivery of used catering equipment

Delivery of used catering equipment needs a clear plan at both the seller’s address and your premises. Confirm the item’s weight, dimensions and handling requirements before requesting transport quotes.

Agree who will disconnect, prepare and load the equipment, arranging specialist assistance where necessary. Check whether the delivery service includes unloading and positioning or stops at an agreed accessible point.

Record the equipment’s condition before collection and agree how damage or missing accessories will be reported. Follow the manufacturer’s transport and restart instructions, particularly when moving refrigeration equipment.
