Will the TB-ML 3000 meeting booth fit your office delivery route?

The TB-ML 3000 Multiple Person Meeting Booth will fit your office delivery route only if every delivery package can pass through the building in an approved handling position, with enough space and load capacity for the equipment moving it. The booth’s assembled dimensions alone cannot answer that question.

A doorway may be wide enough while the corridor beyond it prevents a turn. A lift may accommodate a package but lack capacity for the combined load. Before booking delivery, compare the supplier’s packing and handling details with a measured route from the unloading point to the assembly area.

Start with the delivery configuration

Establish how the booth will arrive: as an assembled enclosure, partially assembled sections, or separate components. This determines what must physically travel through the building. A modular design does not automatically mean every panel, frame, or glass section will fit a passenger lift.

Request a packing schedule tied to the exact configuration being ordered. It should identify:

  • Each package’s external length, width, height, and gross weight, including its crate or pallet.
  • The largest rigid component and the heaviest individual package.
  • Permitted transport orientations, lifting points, and restrictions on tilting or stacking.
  • The handling equipment and access space required by the installation team.
  • Whether packaging can be removed before the packages reach the installation floor.

The longest package, tallest crate, and heaviest item may be different pieces. Assess them separately. A single “shipping size” is insufficient when several packages create different access constraints.

Do not use dimensions from another booth model to approve access for the TB-ML 3000. Likewise, acoustic performance, ventilation specifications, and occupancy capacity do not establish delivery feasibility.

Measure the route as a continuous journey

Walk the route in delivery order, starting where the vehicle can actually stop. Record the usable clearances with doors open and any planned floor or wall protection in place. Architectural drawings help locate potential restrictions, but site measurements capture door hardware, security gates, temporary partitions, and other obstructions.

Route sectionWhat to recordWhat can prevent access
Unloading areaVehicle access, unloading method, gradients, and distance to entranceRestricted stopping space or no suitable way to lower the load
Doors and entrancesClear opening width and height, thresholds, and approach spaceDoor closers, frames, or insufficient room to align the package
Corridors and turnsClear widths, corner geometry, ceiling restrictions, and fixed obstaclesA package passes straight through but cannot rotate around a corner
LiftDoor opening, cabin dimensions, rated capacity, and landing spaceAdequate cabin size but an inaccessible entrance or excessive combined weight
Installation areaAccess opening, staging space, assembly clearance, and floor conditionsComponents arrive but cannot be positioned or assembled

Photograph tight sections with their measurements clearly identified. Mark the proposed route on a floor plan so the supplier, delivery team, and building management are assessing the same path.

A package that clears a doorway may still fail at the turn

Door clearance is only one part of the geometry. A long panel approaching a doorway from a narrow corridor needs room to swing into alignment. Columns, opposing walls, handrails, and door leaves can block that movement even when the opening itself is large enough.

For difficult corners, have the installer plot the package’s movement through a scaled plan, including the trolley and working space for handlers. Checking only the package’s diagonal can give a misleading result because it does not account for the surrounding walls throughout the turn.

Height also changes during handling. A package on a trolley sits higher than its listed packing height. Tilting a tall component changes the space it occupies and may introduce handling risks. Glass-containing packages should travel only in orientations accepted by the supplier; rotating them to solve a clearance problem requires an approved method.

A route with almost no clearance is sensitive to measurement errors and site changes. Agree a practical handling allowance with the installation team instead of treating a theoretical fit as sufficient.

Check lift access and weight together

Measure the lift door separately from the cabin. A spacious cabin does not help if the package cannot enter, and a deep cabin may still be inaccessible when the landing is too narrow to line up the load.

The lift assessment must include the package, trolley or pallet truck, and accompanying personnel. Use the rated capacity displayed for the actual lift proposed for delivery. If several trips are planned, establish the load arrangement for each trip.

Building management should also review the intended handling equipment and any requirements for protecting lift floors, entrances, and finishes. Concentrated loads from small wheels can matter even when the total weight appears acceptable. Raised access floors, ramps, and service covers elsewhere on the route may need a similar assessment.

Where the normal route fails, investigate a suitable goods lift or another entrance before considering specialist lifting. Stair transport or external lifting needs a separate handling plan, appropriate equipment, and building authorization; it should never become an improvised delivery-day solution.

Allow space to unpack and assemble the booth

Reaching the destination floor does not complete the access assessment. Installers need room to open crates, place components securely, assemble the enclosure, and remove packaging. An office layout that accommodates the finished booth may leave insufficient working space around it during installation.

Ask for the assembly sequence and its space requirements. Establish whether roof sections need overhead clearance, whether external connections require access around the enclosure, and when furniture can be placed nearby. Keep the staging area clear of escape routes and routine circulation.

Uncrating before a tight section can sometimes reduce package size, but only when the supplier accepts the handling method and suitable protection remains available. It also creates a separate need for secure unpacking space and packaging removal.

When should access constraints change the product choice?

If a critical component cannot reach the intended location, compare the available responses before committing to the order: a supplier-approved alternative packing arrangement, a different delivery route, another installation location, or a booth that suits both access and occupancy requirements.

For focused work or meetings involving only one or two people, the TB-W Office Pod 1-2 Person provides a smaller-format option with external dimensions of W1500 × D1320 × H2300 mm. Those are assembled dimensions; its delivery packages still need their own route assessment. It also serves a different occupancy requirement, so it cannot replace a larger meeting booth when the intended group needs more space.

A smaller footprint can improve the room layout without resolving the delivery bottleneck. Compare actual package dimensions and handling requirements before choosing an alternative on size alone.

Close the access decision before scheduling delivery

Compile a short access record containing the packing schedule, measured route, photographs of restrictions, lift details, unloading arrangements, and assembly area. Have the supplier or installer assess that record against the proposed handling method, while building management confirms access arrangements and applicable load restrictions.

Resolve dependencies explicitly. If delivery relies on removing a door leaf, reserving a goods lift, or clearing a corridor, assign responsibility and schedule it before the vehicle arrives. Check the route again after fit-out changes that could affect clearance.

Proceed when every package has an accepted path to the assembly area and the necessary handling arrangements are in place. If one critical turn, load limit, or transport orientation remains unresolved, settle that constraint before fixing the installation date.
