Onsite materials – handling/forklifts/trolleys #
Material / items for stand: #
If you are using the official freight forwarder for your exhibition material, please notify them if you expect material will require a forklift or trolley to move so arrangements can be made for the move in and move out.
Fukuoka International Congress Center recommends that official freight forwarders are appointed to move large and heavy items that cannot be pushed on a trolley and require the usage of a forklift or pallet jack.
Custom stand builders / or not using the official freight forwarder #
If you require the use of a forklift/trolley during the move in or move out of the exhibition, this must be pre-booked through APT Showfreight. This includes exhibitors using external suppliers for the purpose of custom booth builds.
If you are using an external freight forwarder, there is no guarantee a forklift/trolley will be made available at the Centre so please inform APT Showfreight when finalising your exhibition booth who can make this booking for you. Charges may apply.
Post-collection #
Courier Collection #
At the conclusion of the exhibition, it is the responsibility of the exhibitor to label and arrange freight for all left over items.
- Completed consignment notes must be affixed to materials
- Courier companies will not collect goods unless there is a completed and signed consignment note.
- Allow sufficient time for the goods to be moved from the booth to the loading dock—all boxes must be clearly labelled with your organisation name, contact details, and number of boxes (e.g. Box 1 of 5).
- Ensure your courier has all the relevant details with regards to the items to be collected, for instance, name of conference and number of boxes and your contact details.
