Quotations

Quotations are issued subject to Equipment availability which will be confirmed when the Equipment is ordered.

Quotations for Equipment and for any delivery charges assume there is appropriate access for the Equipment and any towing vehicles and that the site for the Equipment is level and solid.


Therefore the Hirer warrants that the Equipment and any towing vehicles will have adequate access and room to turn without overhead obstructions or other obstacles and hazards such as trees, hedges buried pipes and other concealed services etc, that may suffer damage caused in the delivery, use and removal of the Equipment.

If access or conditions at the site are not as agreed with SSL then SSL reserves the right to charge for any damage that may have occurred as a result to its vehicles or Equipment.
