Hanging Sign and Truss Information


Please order by Wed. Feb. 9, 2022.

By sending us this information in advance you will help us assure your sign is properly assembled and installed.

GES Rigging must suspend all hanging signs/truss. No other contractor or personnel will be allowed to attach any properties to the ceiling or building structure. GES is the sole provider of lift equipment for all public areas & exhibit halls.

Assembly: All assembly of hanging signs, suspended video walls and truss must be done by GES Rigging. Additional GES personnel are available upon request for truss or sign assembly. Please submit hanging sign floorplan to include booth orientation. Set-up instructions must be provided for signs requiring assembly. Exhibitor or exhibitor's authorized representative may supervise assembly.

Hanging Signs:

GES is responsible for assembly, installation and removal of all hanging signs.
  • All signs must be designed to comply with Show Organizer rules and regulations and facility limitations.
  • All signs, with the exception of banners and light weight moss signs, must have structural rigging points, and include detailed construction plans with a current structural engineer's stamp.
  • If your sign requires electricity, make sure it is in working order and in accordance with the National Electric Code.
  • Include show site Exhibitor contact information with the order.
  • GES reserves the right to not hang any signage/structure that in our opinion is not deemed structurally sound.

Truss and Hoists:

GES is responsible for assembly, installation, and removal of all truss and hoists.
  • All truss must be designed to comply with Show Organizer rules and regulations as well as facility limitations.
  • All truss must be from a recognized manufacturer. Manufacturer load specifications for your truss must be at show site prior to rigging.
  • Ground support truss without the needs of a scissor lift, must be installed/removed by a GES Rigger or a member of IATSE 127.
  • Self Climbing truss structures must be installed by GES Riggers.
  • Climbing on truss is strictly prohibited.
  • All hoists must be from a recognized manufacturer and must be in good working order.
  • Hoist maintenance records should be available for inspection by GES.
  • All lamps and fixtures to be attached to truss must be in good working order and in compliance with the National Electric Code.

LED Walls:

LED walls are somewhat challenging to suspend to the ceiling due to their inherent weight. Please submit accurate single panel weights, total number of panels, bumper weight, pick point locations, and overall dimensions. Please include the weight of all rigging hardware and brackets.
  • Labor to assemble/remove suspended or ground supported LED Walls requiring a scissor lift, must be performed by GES Riggers. Attaching speakers or other AV components i.e. projectors or projection screens to truss, or into the ceiling, is also work performed by GES Riggers. The Hanging Sign/Truss Labor Order Form should be used to order this labor.
  • The load limits to the ceiling are strictly enforced. The loads to the ceiling need to be considered in your design process. GES will be glad to consult with your designer during this process to help them interpret the allowable ceiling loads.
  • Ground supported walls without the need of a scissor lift, must be installed/removed by a GES Rigger or a member of IATSE 127.
