Material Handling and Drayage

There are two types of material handling and drayage that is mostly what we work with our vendors and show producers on. 

First, is when a vendor is traveling into another city where the show is located and they do not want to travel with products. So, the vendors will ship their items to our location where we will inventory the items until the show, confirm receipt, load the products on a truck and deliver it to their booth at the trade show.  This eliminates a great deal of hassle for the vendor to manage the logistics, so we do it for them. 

Second, is onsite material handling and logistics.  Typically, this is when there is heavy equipment that needs to be moved from the loading dock to their booth. These vendors would contract  Academy Expo , as the trade show Material handling company, to move the items to their booth. Once we have been contracted or at the show producers’ request we will have a forklift on-site to assist with moving in and out heavy equipment for the vendors.
