Storing Chemicals On A Muddy Farm

This week I received an enquiry from a farm owner who has requested a container to store their agricultural chemicals. However, the delivery will be a bit tricky. Here is the customers’ enquiry, my response is below:

"I own a farm and require a chemical store for my agricultural chemicals. We are just off a country lane, there are a couple of routes to it but one of them involves a low bridge. Also, the farm can get pretty muddy. Please advise about my options”

"Good Afternoon, Thank you for your enquiry. Due to it being a narrow country lane, I would recommend having a container up to 20ft delivered on a single rigid vehicle. A narrow lane would not be able to fit an artic vehicle, so it wouldn’t be possible to deliver a container any larger. Depending on the height of the bridge, our driver should be able to fit underneath, if not we would look at alternative routes. In terms of the farm being muddy, there are a few options to look at. We could place trackways down for the container. Roadways are made from both aluminium and plastic, they consist of panels that would be easily adaptable for your site and can withstand up to 1000 tonnes. Plastic Roadways are also extremely versatile, consisting of heavy duty panels which are ideal for heavy weights and can be installed by hand. Another option would be to supply heavy duty boards or slabs to place the container on. Finally, we could supply heavy duty boards for the driver to drive over and set jacklegs to place the container on. We look forward to hearing from you soon"
