A supplier’s ballast list and the traffic drawing answer different questions. The lifting specialist identifies what the operation requires. The traffic team needs to know how those items arrive, where they are received and when the delivery space becomes available again. Connect the two records before dispatch.
Match the load, not just the truck count
Give each supplier load a reference and associate it with a confirmed vehicle, receiving stage and proposed location. A schedule showing three deliveries can appear unchanged even if material has moved from the first vehicle to the last one. That change can affect how long a temporary area is occupied.
Keep the specialist’s component references unchanged in the logistics record. Do not infer lifting sequence, balance, weights or suitability from this list; those decisions belong to the appointed technical specialists.
What to do with an unmatched item
- Flag whether the difference concerns a missing reference, a changed delivery or a collection.
- Ask the supplier and lifting coordinator to reconcile the actual requirement.
- Check the confirmed revision against vehicle access, receiving space and the occupation window.
- Issue the agreed reference to dispatch and withdraw the superseded booking.
For example, an additional return trip may be needed even if no extra ballast arrives. Include the recovery movement in the review rather than treating the final incoming load as the end of road use.
When the footprint changes
If revised handling or waiting space extends beyond the reviewed arrangement, refer the change to the permit and traffic teams. A delivery manifest is not permission to expand into an adjacent lane or parking area. Read the tower crane delivery manifest guide for load identification and RTA permit and traffic diversion support for tower crane erection for the road interface.
