- To ensure a smooth move in, National Media has engaged Schenker to assist with the loading dock management. The lower level loading dock has very limited space and cannot sustain unnecessary use. We have implemented the following restrictions on the dock usage to ensure a smoother bump in and out for all exhibitors and contractors.
- Vehicle/truck access to the lower loading dock, halls 1 & 2 is via Darling Drive. Access is strictly reserved for exhibitors who have booked via Schenker. High Visibility vests and enclosed shoes must be worn at all times whilst on the loading dock. If you do not have a loading dock booking your vehicle will be sent down to the carpark or be required to wait offsite until space becomes available. You will only be able to book loading dock access in correspondence with your stand being built/ready for occupation.
- Vehicles may only remain on the loading dock for a maximum of 20 minutes for loading/unloading purposes due to the high volume of vehicles.
- Fees apply for the use of the forklift. If you require use of a forklift, you must pre-book this with Schenker via the Loading Dock and Forklifting Bookings form.
- Vehicles on the dock must not exceed 10kmh and hazard lights must be active at all times and whilst engines are running.
