Prepare the approach
Identify gates, narrow turns, overhead obstacles and ground conditions. Tell the rental team about any restrictions affecting the vehicle or the intended placement. A map address does not show all of these details.
Agree a usable position
Keep doors, pedestrian routes and service access clear. Explain accessible-route needs and the area available for the actual equipment, including any trailer entrance or ramp.
Plan the handoff and the finish
Have a reachable contact who knows the arrangement. Discuss advance-contact requests, unattended placement, changes in timing and how collection is requested. Keep the route available after the last use.
Your La Porte enquiry checklist
- Is the entrance identified?
- Is placement agreed?
- Is the contact reachable?
La Porte enquiries should name the actual site entrance as well as the property address. Where a site uses separate staff, visitor or delivery gates, identify the route that the rental team is allowed to use.
