Terminology, approval route and the range change by market.

Delivery

From order to handover

Every step from a frozen specification to keys in your hand, with the ones that can slip named.

Oil rigs on body of water

Specification frozen

The configuration is fixed in writing: equipment, electrical design, and the approval route for your country. Changes after this are change orders.

Production

Built to that specification. You get milestone updates, and you are told when a milestone moves.

Inspection

Inspection and quality-control arrangements are confirmed in the written quotation and order, including who checks the built unit against the drawing you signed.

Freight

Container or roll-on freight, with insurance quoted as part of the purchase. Transit is weeks, not days, and it is planned as such.

Customs clearance

Entry, duty and import tax, quoted as part of the purchase.

Inland delivery

Port to your address on a low-loader.

Approval presentation

Presented on the route established at the start: RDW, a section 21 assessment, an IVA, whatever your country requires.

Handover

Keys and manuals. The applicable model, market and handover documentation is confirmed before an order is accepted.

The day after handover

What the law asks of you, not of us

Handover ends our sequence and starts yours. Four duties attach to a towable commercial unit once it is working, and two of the four instruments state no interval at all. What the law asks of the unit after it is delivered quotes each paragraph and names the date it was read.

Start with the specification

Everything downstream follows from it.
