Assess the suitability of roads and access to orchards.
- Can hard roadways, either concrete or tarmac be utilised?
- What is the surface of internal pathways around orchards on which fruit will be transported?
- Will picking trains be used, if so will a full train go back to the main storage complex or be unloaded on the side of the orchard?
- Is there suitable access for forklifts, bin transporters or lorries?
- Is there hard standing for a collection point for loading lorries?
- Lorries need an area of at least 48 feet x 60 feet (16m x 20m).
