Tradeshow Logistics – Exhibit Events Create Logistics Challenges

Full Tilt Logistics is one of the leading 3PL transportation companies in the country for the tradeshow exhibit business. Timing is everything and nowhere does this apply more than a large trade show. We take extra care to make sure these time-sensitive events come off as planned. As a tradeshow logistics company, this requires special planning, coordination, and backup for these major national events.

Tradeshow Logistics Services

Because of the unique requirements of large tradeshows in major arenas and convention centers across the country, the transportation of material necessary to pull off these events is an eight-day a week process. Pick-ups and deliveries to the shows occur 24 hours a day and the pace is energized with many moving parts. As the saying goes “the show must go on,” and we have fail-safe systems to ensure on-time delivery. Our tradeshow logistics services are thorough and include high-quality service that our customers have come to expect and rely on for these major events. Some of these services include:

  • Weather forecasting models
  • Strategically-placed relay locations with partner carriers for back up coverage
    load recovery plans
  • Re-powered units if needed
  • Team support and 24-7 access to our team leaders

Hope for the Best, but Expect the Worst

Our tradeshow logistics company always hope for the best but expect the worst, and our planning models address the worst-case scenario. Because of this contingency planning, our tradeshow freight has a 99.9% on-time delivery and is 99.9% claim-free. Peace of mind with fewer disruptions is our goal and we settle for nothing less. We recently were the logistics company for the NCAA basketball tournament and fan experience, as well as the NFL meetings. Both events were in the Phoenix area and went off without a hitch. We’re successful and experienced in moving equipment to one tradeshow, but we also specialize in show to show moves.

The three major trade show components are exhibit companies, trade show management companies, and audio-visual companies. They are all specialized, and we are a tradeshow logistics company that provides transportation for all three. Booth equipment, banners, tables, carpet, rigging, lighting, electronics, hi-tech control equipment, electronics, and large video display units are only some of the materials necessary to organize and produce large trade shows and exhibits. As an added value, we provide on-site management, when necessary, to coordinate the delivery and removal of freight.
