Delivery FAQ

Branding

• Yes we have renders in PDF or JPG format. Please ask the Seeds team on + 44 (0) 113 335 1488 who will be happy to send these to you.

Logistics and transport

Can you advise on transport options for us to move Seedpods from one site to another?

• It is not possible to recommend specific transport options to move Seedpods as the make and models of lorries have many variations, for example, in internal and external sizes, curtain or hard sides, tailgates, mounted forklifts.
• The choice of transport to deliver Seedpod will depend on the fleet options available to you and any limitations at the delivery site.
• Remember to always carry out your own risk assessments before moving your Seedpod to include decisions on location, delivery, transport, building up and breaking down. Staff should have suitable lifting and handling training and follow your health and safety policies.

What do I need to think about if I want to transport our Seedpods whole between our main sites?

• Your built Seedpod is 2.45m tall, 2.84m wide with a circular base of 1.7m diameter.
• A pallet would be required on which to secure the pod. Minimum size 2m x 2m square with height that allows space for forklift forks, 220mm. A pallet can be ordered from the Seeds team on + 44 (0) 113 335 1488.
• Seedpods Flying Jacket can be purchased from Seeds to provide added protection to your Seedpod in transit. If this is not used your Seedpod would require suitable protective wrapping and securing whilst in transit.
• If using a forklift ensure the operator is fully trained with appropriate licence. Extended forks would also be required.
• Curtain side lorries provide more options on loading and unloading when using a forklift. Check the height and width of the curtain side frame to ensure Seedpod/s plus pallet will fit.
• If building or breaking down your Seedpod on the lorry, having a tailgate on the vehicle reduces risk of accidents to staff or damage to Seedpod parts.
• To enable more transport options, the height of Seedpods can be reduced by removing the roof section and transporting it separately in suitable protective wrapping. The Seedpod will also require suitable protection and securing in transit

What if I want to transport Seedpods in separate parts?

• Seedpods also breakdown into eight parts. The part sizes and weights can be found in the Seedpods instruction manual, the Seedpod brochure or on the website www.seeds.company.
• Each part will require individual protective wrapping.
• Parts will require securing in place during transit.
• Having a tailgate on the vehicle to load and off load parts reduces risk of accidents to staff or damage to Seedpod parts.
• The Seeds team on + 44 (0) 113 335 1488 have used a 7.5 tonne lorry with tailgate to move a Seedpod in eight parts. Each part is individually wrapped for protection and secured inside the lorry

Receiving Seedpods

What is the minimum size of lift for moving Seedpod from delivery bay into a building?

• Trade lifts may come in different sizes and shapes, so it is not possible to give a set minimum dimension. From our experience from delivering Seedpods to customers, the sections have fitted into a trade lift with a Length 2120mm, Width 2250mm and Height 1988mm.
