Materials Handling

Labour and equipment for unloading and loading are included in Showtime material handling rates and services. Labour and equipment will be available for uncrating, unskidding, assembling, positioning, leveling, dismantling, recrating and reskidding machinery and/or equipment of exhibitors.

  • Receiving advance shipments at our warehouse.
  • Unloading crated materials.
  • Storing at the warehouse for up to 14 days.
  • Reloading onto trucks and delivery to the exhibit site.
  • Unloading materials and delivery to your booth.

  • Reloading equipment and return to your specified destination.
  • Storage of display materials for up to five (5) working days following show date. (Additional storage available at extra cost.)
