The mobile crane and its support mats may belong to different suppliers. If the crane crew leaves first, who is still responsible for the mats and the road space they occupy? Resolve that point in the collection booking rather than after the last lift.
Separate release from collection
The lifting specialist confirms when the supports are no longer needed and when handling can proceed under the specialist’s method. The transport supplier confirms its collection vehicle and availability. The traffic coordinator checks whether that vehicle can reach the agreed collection position within the reviewed arrangement. None of those confirmations substitutes for the others.
Prepare a short collection ticket
- Supplier and identification of the items expected for return.
- Actual pickup position and any transfer from the crane setup area.
- Person who can release the items for handling.
- Vehicle booking, access contact and final departure confirmation.
Suppose the return truck can only arrive from a different gate after the crane leaves. Check that route separately. Do not move mats to a footpath or adjoining parking bay to make collection easier without reviewing the changed occupation.
If recovery is incomplete
Record which items remain, where they are and who will resolve them. Compare the remaining operation with the authorised work window before instructing any road handback. This is a logistics check; mat design, support capacity and lifting methods remain with the qualified specialists.
Read ground protection footprint planning before setup and crane demobilisation before road reopening for the broader recovery sequence.
