Material Handling/Drayage Services

What is Material Handling?

The unloading of your shipment, transporting it to your booth, storing and returning your empty crates and cartons and reloading your shipment at the close of the show (also called Drayage). This service is not included in the cost of your booth space. Avoid unexpected costs at show site and pre-order this service below. Shipping/Logistics costs are separate and are not included in Material Handling rates.

Easy Ordering Tips:

  • Material Handling is the unloading and delivery of exhibit freight to the exhibitor's booth on the show floor. Material handling charges will be invoiced to you at show site for any freight unloaded and delivered. Use this page to plan, estimate costs and pre-order this service.
  • Straight Time is Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Trucks signing in after 2:00 PM may be charged at the overtime rate depending what time they are unloaded.
  • Overtime is all other times, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
  • Crated material is skidded, or is in any type of shipping container that can be unloaded at the dock with no additional handling required.
  • Special Handling is defined as shipments that are loaded by cubic space and/or packed in such a manner as to require special handling, such as ground loading, side door loading, constricted space loading and designated piece loading or stacked shipments. Also included are mixed shipments and shipments without proper delivery receipts.
  • Uncrated material is shipped loose or pad-wrapped, and/or unskidded machinery without proper lifting bars or hooks. The advance receiving warehouse cannot receive uncrated shipments.
  • Loose carpeting and/or padding may be shipped to the Advanced Warehouse, but requires additional labor and equipment to offload.
