Equipment or Material Movement
The Client and the General Service Contractor are responsible for the transport of crates and boxes to and from the licensed premises. ACC personnel are not allowed to move freight, including, but not limited to, crates, boxes and pallets for the Client or any exhibitor.
Equipment and freight must be loaded and unloaded in the dock area.
Doorways, carpeted areas, and floors must be protected from the movement of crates, registration counters, pallet jacks and sign-hanging activities.
When off loading counters, booths and other heavy objects, the use of floor protection and extreme care are required. Carpeted areas must be protected by the use of a minimum of six-millimeter (6mm) polyethylene sheeting (reinforced preferred). Temporary carpet or plywood on top of reinforced polyethylene sheeting must be used for heavy objects. Heavy objects are defined as items in excess of 1,500 pounds or that exceed the limit of an average pallet jack.
Motorized vehicles, forklifts, gas or electric carts, bicycles, scooters, or similar equipment (except equipment for persons who are mobility impaired) may not be operated on any permanent carpeted area in the facility.
ACC personnel are not permitted to move a piano onto a stage or any raised surface. Tuning is required.
