Express deliveries for stand build: ramps, forklifts and onsite staff
At stand build, site infrastructure and staff often decide if a night delivery arrives on time. Learn which agreements and preparations make express deliveries smoother.
Quick answer
Site infrastructure (ramps, access roads, loading zones) and available staff (forklift operators, gate staff, receivers) significantly speed up night deliveries for stand build. Agree on fixed delivery windows, marked loading zones, access codes and ID checks. These steps cut wait times and avoid extra handling in Zurich, Basel or Geneva.
Why infrastructure and staff matter
Delays during night deliveries usually come from missing local arrangements, not the courier. A ramp, clear access routes and trained personnel shorten loading and unloading. Working site logistics let small vans drive directly to the stand and avoid extra transfers.
Key site features to check before delivery
Verify ramp height, gate width and floor surface. Note vehicle height limits and weight restrictions. Mark the delivery zone clearly and provide lighting for night work. At venues such as Zurich Oerlikon or Geneva Palexpo, fixed ramps and roll-up doors make direct access possible.
Staff roles that speed up express deliveries
Forklift operators for pallets, stewards/gate staff for access, reception staff to sign and a technical contact for last-minute changes. Agree on shift times and night contacts. Ensure IDs and a quick safety briefing for anyone handling loads.
Useful agreements with your courier
Set firm time windows (for example 02:00–04:00) and share access codes, gate and ramp numbers, and parking spots in advance. Define whether the courier will unload or only drop the shipment. Clarify liability for damage during transhipment and who operates the forklift. Put these points into a short delivery plan.
Night delivery checklist
1) Access code, gate and ramp numbers; 2) Contact person and mobile; 3) Lighting and safety zones; 4) Forklift and pallet jack available; 5) Delivery note with weight and dimensions; 6) Adequate parking and manoeuvring space.
Practical effects on delivery time
When a venue provides a marked loading zone and a forklift, drivers can hand over a pallet directly to stand crews. Without a ramp, goods often need multiple lifts and transfers. Each transfer adds time and risk of damage.
Frequently asked questions
Does every venue need a ramp for night express?
Not always. A ramp reduces extra handling but if none exists, plan for extra helpers and time to move loads.
Who is liable when using venue forklifts?
Liability should be agreed in advance. Typically the organiser or exhibitor clarifies who operates the machine and who covers insurance. Record the arrangement in writing.
What information should I give the courier beforehand?
Gate/ramp numbers, access code, contact person and mobile, delivery window, and weight and size details of the shipments.
Can a courier bring staff to assist unloading?
Yes, if the venue rules allow it. Confirm entry permits and permitted working hours before the delivery.
