Material Handling

Material Handling includes unloading of your exhibit material at the warehouse or at show site, delivery of these properties to your designated exhibit location, storage and return of your empty containers (includes crates and skids) and loading of your exhibit material onto your designated outbound carrier(s) after the event.

 

Crated and/or Skidded Shipments

Material that is skidded or is in any type of shipping container that can be unloaded at the dock with no additional handling required.

 

Special Handling Shipments

Material delivered by the carrier in such a manner that requires additional handling, such as ground unloading, constricted space unloading, designated piece unloading, stacked shipments, loads mixed with pad wrapped material, carpet/pad only shipments, shipment integrity, alternate delivery location, shipments without individual bills of lading, and shipments that require additional time, equipment or labor to unload.

Note: FED-EX and UPS are included in this category due to their delivery procedures as well as carpet shipments.

 

Uncrated, Pad-Wrapped or Loose Shipments

Material that is shipped loose or pad-wrapped, and/or unskidded machinery without proper lifting bars or hooks.
