Material Handling
Clients, suppliers, and exhibitors who require material handling services, such as motorized or mechanized equipment, must make arrangements with GES. Any material handling that does not pose a risk of damage to the facility and does not require motorized and mechanized equipment will not require coordination with GES.
Material handling involves unloading your materials at the designated unloading zone(s), delivering the materials to your booth or designated Rogers Centre Ottawa location, and returning your materials to the designated loading zone(s) for reloading onto your outbound carrier. In some cases this may include storing your empty containers during the event, returning them for repackaging, and reloading them onto your outbound carrier. Labour, licensed operators, and the appropriate equipment are needed to unload and load your carrier and move materials to your event location safely, and efficiently.
