Material handling (drayage) is the process of receiving your materials or equipment either at the advance warehouse before the show or at show site. The service includes delivering to your booth, removing empty containers for storage during the show, returning the empty containers to your booth after the show, delivering your materials back to the dock, and loading on your outbound carrier for outbound shipping.
All material handling charges for direct shipments are already included in your space rate regardless of weight or number of shipments, provided your shipment/trucks check-in at the PACK EXPO Services (PES) Marshalling Yard by 2:00 PM on your assigned targeted move-in date. This pre-paid fee also includes a one-time spot of equipment and display material. Any additional rigging or booth work will be done at the exhibitor’s expense. Exhibitors must be in the booth to take advantage of the one-time spot.
Any freight which requires assembly, un-skidding, uncrating, unbolting, stacking, or special equipment for unloading (including 30,000 lb. forklifts and cranes) and anything else which makes your machinery or freight non-show ready is NOT eligible for the one-time spot. Additional rigging and material handling charges could apply.
NOTE: Space rate includes material handling for the Primary Exhibitor's display material and equipment only. Additional product or equipment not from the Primary Exhibitor is subject to additional billing. Primary Exhibitor is defined as the exhibitor who signs the Exhibit Space Application and Contract.
