Site Access
Considerations

When buying topsoil, it is important to discuss with your supplier / contractor details such as site access as this could affect what size of vehicle can be used.

Deliveries tend to be made by articulated trucks carrying 29 tonnes or rigid vehicles carrying 20 tonnes.

Critical dimensions (see below) are based on the truck approaching the entrance in a straight line. If the approach access is at an angle then more space will be required.

Net Weight 29 tonne

Rigid Truck
