SUBSCRIBE TO OUR BLOGHow to prepare your site to accommodate mobile dental or medical trailer for use as a temporary or Permanent Clinic
If you just rent or buy a mobile dental trailer for your dental/medical office, there are several things to consider when finishing the process. The manager of the project should look for special permits that are required in order to set up and start the mobile clinic. These include all state, federal and local permits. Another thing which is very important is the weight load or foundation that the mobile trailer or coach will occupy. The manager will need to know the weight limit to support the trailer. It is always wise to avoid the areas where pooling water is a problem. Remember that a concrete, compressed gravel foundations, and asphalt are the best foundations. The manager should know that he should call 811 before he digs. This federal service is great for locating and at the same time, marking underground cables or electric wiring. When calling this number, the manager would also be aware of any utilities are required before the delivery of the trailer or coach.
One more thing is to establish a secure connection to city electric and water or sewer services. The local providers will schedule a visit to arrange all connections after the delivery of the mobile dental/medical trailer. The manager should consider the fact that the area where the trailer or coach would be delivered and placed must be clean of debris and has clear access. The last thing for the manager is to be sure that all gates for the access are open. It is suggested that one person who will be authorized must be present when the trailer arrives in order to help the driver with the location and to explain how it should be set up. Our trailers and coaches are always delivered by the right technical person to help set up.
How the procedure goes before the delivery
The dispatcher will coordinate with the project manager and will confirm some pertinent information.
- The day before the delivery of the mobile dental/medical trailer
The dispatcher, who is responsible for the selected trailer, will call the manager in order to confirm if he/she is ready to receive the mobile trailer or coach. The manager will be informed that the trailer is completely inspected from the branch manager of the company selling or renting the dental/medical trailer or coach and confer 100% for delivery.
- The morning when the trailer should be delivered
The driver in charge will call the project manager for offering his contact information and to confirm the instructions of the delivery, to check the address and the entry point of the area, and their point of contact at their site.
- At the time of the mobile trailer delivery
The representative who is at the expected location should instruct the driver on the orientation and the location of the trailer. The trailer/van is positioned as the representative requested and finally, it is set up and ready for use, involving all anchors and steps according to the needs of the project manager. He/she will find a welcome package inside the trailer. It is full of helpful information addressed to maintenance, and who to ask when a question or some other problem should arise and there would be the end-of-lease responsibilities. The final thing is to sign the document for receiving the mobile dental/medical trailer.
- After the delivery of the mobile trailer
The selected company should give the project manager an inspection checklist and the staff training so he can confirm that everything is as in the contract and in good working condition. If there are any problems, they would be scheduled for service as soon as possible. The inspection list would be returned to the contractor and referenced to when the trailer is returned at the end-of-lease.
Summary
The project manager is responsible for everything about the delivery of the mobile dental/medical trailer or coach. He/she takes responsibility for all necessary documents and permits.
The project manager should also keep in mind to clean the space because the modular units may travel on 18-wheelers and because of this the site must be clear and wide. The manager should provide access to water, electric, gas sources, and sewer. These connections should be discussed before the trailer or coach is delivered by the project manager.
Keep in mind to outfit the inside space. It is also important to arrange the inside trailer space especially if tables, desks, or chairs are used. We offer furnishings, accessories, appliances and dental/medical equipment in order to complete the whole installation.
The buyer will find it beneficial to visit the supplier location to inspect the trailer/van. This may insure that the unit will meet requirements or the deficiencies can be easily corrected before the unit is shipped.
