The Cedral Thrutone slates are delivered on a six-wheeled lorry measuring 11m long by 2.4m wide with a tail lift facility and pump truck. To facilitate unloading, it is crucial to have solid, level ground. Failure to consider these delivery requirements may result in additional charges. If a crane off-load or a small vehicle is necessary, please inform us at the time of ordering, as an extra charge may be incurred.
It is strongly recommended to order an additional 5% of slates to account for any acceptable breakage during transportation or installation
