Additional Notes for Heavy Machinery Handling Orders

  • All work will be performed with a minimum of a two-person crew consisting of a forklift operator and foreman rigger.
  • To maintain a "Safety First" environment, heavy lifts (requiring forklift capacity in excess of 35,000lbs.), complex lifts and any lift requiring more than one forklift, will require additional manpower for a safe operation. Additional manpower will be assigned at the discretion of GES.
  • A minimum of one (1) hour applies to all crew.

    • Suggestions for a Smooth & Cost Effective Show

    • Organize: Organize your truckloads to match your booth expectations. Good organization ahead of time is much more cost effective.

    • Loading: Please ensure that your trucks are loaded friendly for removal. (i.e. on at least 4" - 6" blocking, fork pockets turned to side of trailer bed.)

    • Special Rigging: Please ensure that any special rigging that makes the installation of your equipment easier has been shipped with your equipment (i.e. spreaders). Also, make sure that the technicians are aware.

    • Skidding & Boxes: Skidding and boxes require additional work to remove. Either leave skidding on equipment or reduce their use. Skidding and boxes must be kept out of the aisles.

    • Labelling: Be sure to clearly label all additional components that you will want stored away from your booth (i.e. skids, containers, boxes, etc.). Please indicate the company name & booth number in LARGE print.

    • Planning: Plan your work prior to our arrival to minimize the amount of time spent on last minute decision making. This will also minimize the number of return visits.

    • Final Placement: Take the time to be sure of the exact final placement of your machinery BEFORE WE ARRIVE. Relocating machinery is costly.

    • Authority: Please instruct the contact person during installation that they have your authority & that they will be required to sign off on the work performed within the booth. Retain copies of all time sheets.

    • Payment: Advance payment is required for all services.
