10. Packaging, Handling, Forwarding and Transport
When received, all shipments must be inspected for any damage to the pallets or packaging. Any damage found or any
discrepancy in the number of items delivered must be noted on the carrier’s consignment note. This document shows the
number of pallets and packages delivered while an itemised description of the goods is listed on the Burlodge packing slip
attached to the consignment note. This documentation may vary.
If the packaging is not removed while the carrier is present, the terms “Unopened” or “contents unexamined” or similar should
be noted on the consignment note. The goods must be thoroughly checked for any physical signs of damage and any damage
found must be reported to Burlodge by fax or telephone within 2 days from date of delivery. A written confirmation must
follow within 5 working days together with a photocopy of the accompanying document on which the Model and Serial
number of the damaged trolley/goods must be indicated.
Unloading and handling in the Shipping/Receiving warehouse is the responsibility of the client. Burlodge is not responsible for
any damage that may occur within this area. For unloading and unpacking, proceed as follows:

bearing capacity for the weight of the trolley, which is indicated on the packaging.
