The Loading Dock access ramp is a one way directional system accessible via the northern end entrance of the GCCEC and has manned vehicle checkpoints to monitor access, assisting in the orderly flow of traffic in accordance with deliveries, collections, bump-in and bump-out schedules. Goods will not be accepted at any other point. The Loading Dock access ramp is covered with a ceiling height of 4500mm (4.5 metres) high x 6000mm (6.0 metres) wide. Vehicles that exceed this height and width will need to contact our Operations Manager to access the Loading Dock from an alternative direction.

FoodTech is running a scheduled move in and move out for any vehicles requiring access to the loading dock. This includes couriers, stand builders and any parties involved in the set up and pack down of your stand. If you require access to the loading dock for any reason, please contact our official contractor gel events who will be running the scheduled move-in/move-out . Failure to book a move in or move out time will result in delays accessing the loading dock.

Please note the following:

• Access to the loading dock during build up must be booked through gel events
• Parking is not permitted on the loading dock area
• All vehicles under 2.1m high will be directed to the car park to unload and will not be provided access to the loading dock
• Hand held items should be delivered from the car park located directly underneath the exhibition halls
• No access will be permitted via the loading dock doors during the operational hours of the event
• Occupational Health & Safety regulations strictly prohibit children under the age of 15 from being on-site during the move in and move out. Safety vests must be worn on the loading dock and open toe shoes are not permitted during move in and move out
