Heavy and large equipment on the stand
All equipment larger/wider than 2.5 metres and/or heavier than 2.5 tonnes must always be pre-registered with Event Services. Based on the stand location, Event Services will determine the delivery order in a loading schedule.
If large equipment is not registered in advance, there is a risk that it cannot be placed on the stand.
Send the specifications of the equipment, stand name, stand number and event name to eventservices@easyfairs.com.
Forklift service
Easyfairs provides a free forklift service for deliveries of small materials up to 2 metres and a maximum of 2 tonnes during the regular build-up and breakdown days (not during any early build-up).
It is not possible to reserve a time slot for the free forklift service.
On site, you can report to the forklift driver in the yellow vest. This service operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so you may have to wait before you are helped.
Deliveries of materials over 2 metres and heavier than 2.5 tonnes are only possible at an additional cost and by prior arrangement with Event Services.
