Move-Out
Empty crates and cartons return will begin as soon as aisle carpet is removed from the floor after the close of show. The return process takes 6-8 hours. For some exhibitors, this could mean your items will not be back until 11PM. To hasten the process, DO NOT place anything in the aisles during this time – your cooperation and understanding is greatly appreciated.
PLEASE DO NOT TIP LABORERS! It will not speed up the return of your crates. If your dismantling plans require empty crates or cartons, please take this possible delay into consideration when ordering labor.
Again, if your dismantling plans require your boxes, crates or skids to pack up, please take this into consideration when ordering your labor. Machine skids and frames will be delivered to your booth by the rigging crew you have hired at the time you are ready for them. Please be sure to confirm all dismantle labor with Freeman.
Requests for rigger, carpenter and teamster, forklift and crane orders should be made by 11AM on Thursday, October 22 at one of the Exhibitor Services Desks. Riggers should only be scheduled upon the break of the show, Friday, October 21, if they can be utilized without the return of empty crates or skids.
If you have made arrangements in advance for priority move-out, or need special arrangements for move-out, please go to one of the Exhibitor Services Desks and ask for the freight supervisor.
It is recommended that you order dismantle crews for 8AM on Saturday, October 24. Please understand the time allotted for the installation of FABTECH is approximately two weeks and the time allotted for dismantle is less than half of that; we appreciate your patience as we work to provide services to all exhibitors.
Friday, October 23 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm (TARGETED) (overtime rates)
Saturday, October 24 8:00 am – 4:30 pm (TARGETED) (overtime rates)
Sunday, October 25 8:00 am – 4:30 pm (TARGETED) (double time rates)

Reference your Move-Out Target Plan for specific move in/move out dates and times. Exhibit dismantling and/or shipping done the night the exposition closes, or work done before 8:00 a.m. and after 4:30 p.m., will be charged overtime rates. Saturday is an overtime charge.
All halls must be cleared by 4:30 PM on Monday, October 26. Carriers must check-in by 10:00 AM on Monday, October 26. If your carrier fails to show on final move-out day, Freeman reserves the right to re-route freight onto another carrier.
Exhibit booth power will be discontinued at 4PM on Friday, October 23. If power will be required beyond this time, arrangements must be made before 12PM on Thursday, October 22 at one of the Exhibitor Services Desks.
These items may be hand carried by the exhibitor. Any mechanical assistance is limited to a small lightweight luggage cart. Exhibitors will NOT be allowed to remove packages until the close of the show on Friday, October 23.
All industrial liquids/oils must be disposed of at the end of the show. No industrial liquids/oils may remain in the hall after move-out has concluded. Any industrial liquids left behind by an exhibitor will be disposed of at the exhibitor’s expense. All exhibitors will be monitored and surveyed as to how they plan to dispose of their industrial liquids.
Lead retrieval units must be returned on Friday, October 23 no later than 4PM to one of the following Registration areas:
Central & North Hall Exhibitor: N109 – N112
South Hall Exhibitors: South Hall West Lobby
Shipping labels and material handling agreements (MHA’s) are available at the Exhibitor Service Desk. MHA’s will not be distributed until all invoices are settled. Each exhibitor and/or their agent are responsible for arranging prompt pick-up and removal of outbound shipments.
MHA’s must be turned in to the Exhibitor Services Desk as soon as all materials are packed and ready for outbound shipments. Exhibitors may also check out remotely by Concierge Elite on Freeman Online.
Please consider shipping out exhibit properties when they have been dismantled and crated to provide greater easement of floor space for machinery load out.
DO NOT LEAVE MHA’S IN YOUR BOOTH OR ATTACHED TO YOUR CRATES
For any carriers that have not checked in by 10AM on Monday, October 26, Freeman will reroute the shipment via the most convenient manner available.
Complete your outbound shipping information on Freeman Online in advance and they will have your paperwork ready at the close of show.
Tear down is a critical time for security. Use caution and protect your valuables. Do not leave anything unattended. Pay particular attention to tools, toolboxes, cameras, laptops, and small items. These items can be stored in the Security Office overnight.
If riggers were used to remove machinery from crates or skids, these items will not be returned until needed. Dismantle rigging crews working in your booth will retrieve your skid when you are ready to re-skid your equipment.
