A site delivery needs more than a date by which the equipment must reach Astana. Identify which components are needed first, where they can be received and whether site readiness may change. Inlogistics organises road freight from China to Astana. We plan around the shipment contents and your work schedule to agree a delivery arrangement the supplier and receiving site can support.

We translate the site schedule into transportation requirements

A single shipment typically has several different dates: production completion, packaging readiness, pickup availability, and the recipient's need for the shipment. They are not interchangeable. If a supplier promises to finish a product on a certain day, this does not mean the cargo is ready for collection at that very moment.

State the required delivery date and explain which site activities depend on it. For a critical stage, provide the acceptable delivery window and a contact who manages the site schedule. We can agree a transport schedule once the supplier’s readiness, route and receiving conditions are clear.

We divide the batch according to the order of use

Equipment, fasteners and accessories may be produced by different suppliers or packaged separately. Before dispatch, list the items needed for the first stage of work. Identify which can arrive later and which are essential before work can begin.

If splitting a delivery is being considered, its feasibility needs to be assessed: additional shipments may change costs and processing procedures. We will coordinate a transport solution based on the cargo parameters. The determination of the installation sequence remains with the customer and the facility’s technical specialists. A convenient basis for discussion is the table “item, quantity, readiness date, required work stage, delivery point.”

We check the readiness of the site before agreeing on the address

At the site, the unloading address may differ from the postal address. You need an actual entrance, an accessible unloading area and a responsible employee. Find out whether the vehicle must be registered, who needs the vehicle details, and what information is required to enter your territory.

Separately confirm that the site can handle the weight and dimensions of each package. The free area must be suitable for the intended method of unloading and subsequent movement. If the work requires a crane, a special foundation or technical supervision, the customer determines the contractors and conditions. Installation and crane work must not be assumed to be included in the road transport price.

What is needed from the supplier and site manager

For a quotation for transport from China to Astana, send a packing list, dimensions and weight of each item, photographs of the finished packaging or drawings of large equipment. Indicate the pick-up address and the confirmed readiness of the shipment. For oversized cargo, separately indicate protruding elements and the possibility of transportation in disassembled form.

Confirm these points with the recipient:

  • which part of the site will receive this shipment;
  • where packages will be placed after unloading;
  • who will check labels and quantities;
  • which equipment and team will unload each heavy item;
  • who can approve changes to the delivery date or address.

If the site is not ready, it is better to communicate this before the relevant transport stage begins. Options for changing delivery, additional movements and possible costs are considered separately. You should not expect that the truck will be able to wait indefinitely for the site to open without affecting the conditions.

Questions about delivery according to the work schedule

Can I send the equipment first and then the components? This option is discussed after checking which components are ready. The customer's technical specialist must confirm that the separation will not interfere with acceptance and further work.

Do you perform installation after delivery? This page describes the organisation of road transport. Installation, unloading equipment and work on site must be agreed separately with the relevant contractors.

Submit a request for delivery from China to Astana. Please include a list of cargo items, desired delivery date, and a brief schedule of site needs. Inlogistics will clarify the transport specifications and prepare a quotation taking into account the agreed receiving arrangements.
