Forklift home delivery

In a world where comfort and quality of service are just as important as the products themselves, at Bertsch Holzbau we excel in our approach to timber house delivery. Not only do we offer high-quality wooden structures, but we also provide professional transport, including unloading with a forklift. This makes the whole process fast, safe and convenient – even for large and heavy houses.

How delivery with a forklift goes?  Step-by-step process

The delivery of a house to a customer’s home using a forklift is a process that has been planned with maximum convenience and safety in mind. Our solutions eliminate stress and unnecessary paperwork, allowing the customer to focus on the pure enjoyment of the ordered product:

1. Loading – once manufactured, the cottage is carefully packed and placed on our state-of-the-art trailer. Each product is properly secured to minimise the risk of damage during transport.
   
2. Transport – our trucks are equipped with a GPS system. Upon request, we provide the ability to track the location of the vehicle, which allows you to better plan your pick-up time and ensures that the entire delivery goes according to plan.

3. Unloading – once on site, the driver uses a Moffett forklift to safely unload the house. Thanks to its off-road tyres and three-wheel drive, the forklift is able to cope with a variety of terrain conditions, while ensuring that the wooden houses are accurately placed in the customer’s designated location.

4. Formalities – the customer signs the shipping documents and receipt, and our driver completes the order.The whole process runs smoothly and without unnecessary complications.

What should the customer prepare before delivery?

The transport of houses is designed to require minimal involvement from the customer. Our priority is to deliver client’s product conveniently, quickly and safely, so we have ensured that the customer only needs to prepare the basic conditions for smooth unloading:

• the access road is passable – the transport is carried out using large-size trucks (gross vehicle weight 40 tonnes, 4 m high, 16.5 m long and 2.45 m wide). It is important that the road leading to the delivery site is sufficiently wide and free of obstacles, such as parked cars or constrictions.

• the unloading area is prepared – the space where the house is to be placed should be cleared of obstacles such as garden tools, furniture or other objects that could obstruct the forklift. It is advisable to designate a suitable place where the cottage will be placed.

• the surface is stable – although our forklift trucks are equipped with off-road tyres and three-wheel drive and can cope with more difficult conditions, it is advisable to ensure that the unloading area has a stable surface. This facilitates precise placement of the entire structure and thus minimises potential complications.

Why is a forklift the best solution?

Unloading large and heavy timber houses (up to 5,000 kg) by hand would not only be time-consuming, but also impossible in many cases. This is why we use forklift trucks from Moffett – the leading manufacturer in this technology. This makes the process fast, safe and extremely precise:

• three-wheel drive and off-road tyres – allowing it to move over a variety of surfaces. The stability of the trolley and its ability to overcome obstacles ensure that the house is delivered exactly where our customer expects it to be.
• lifting capacity of up to 1,900 kg – the high capacity allows even the most demanding products to be unloaded safely and quickly. This minimises the risk of damage to both the hut itself and its surroundings.
• precise load placement – allows for precise maneuvering even in confined spaces. This allows the bungalow to be safely positioned in the designated area. The driver has full control over the process, which minimises the risk of errors.
• safety and reliability – Moffett forklift trucks are designed with the highest levels of safety in mind. Robust and advanced controls ensure stability even under heavy loads. In addition, our forklifts undergo regular technical inspections, ensuring their reliability during every delivery.

Professional handling and delivery

The safe transport and unloading of timber constructions at Bertsch Holzbau not only means advanced equipment, but above all experienced specialists. Our drivers and fork-lift truck operators have many years of experience and the necessary authorisations, allowing each delivery to be carried out smoothly and accurately. Regular training and product-specific knowledge enable them to adapt to different terrain conditions and place the house exactly in the designated place.

Thanks to their individual approach, our employees ensure that every stage of delivery is clear and comfortable for the customer. Drivers announce the planned delivery in advance, inform you of the details of the process and provide on-site assistance. The professionalism of our staff is a guarantee of safe and trouble-free delivery of wooden constructions, even under demanding conditions.

• GPS tracking – provides a real-time view of the vehicle’s location.
• driver notifications – the customer receives a telephone advisory the day before the scheduled delivery and an hour before arrival, allowing them to better plan their day.

This approach eliminates unnecessary stress and uncertainty, ensuring the whole process runs smoothly.
