Exhibitor rules
Equipment display rules at construction shows
Construction booths carry machines, so fuel, batteries, floor load and height rules decide the layout. These are from the CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 rules at the Las Vegas Convention Center, where most of these shows are held.
- Gasoline and diesel engines can be operated outdoors only, operating equipment must be confined to the exhibitor's assigned space, and lifting equipment may not be used to lift attendees or other individuals. CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 Show Rules & Regulations, 2026
- Fuel tanks on mobile equipment shown indoors may hold no more than one-quarter of capacity or five gallons, whichever is less; tank openings must be locked or sealed, and at least one battery cable must be removed from the starting batteries. CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 Show Rules & Regulations, 2026
- Outdoor lots at the Las Vegas Convention Center are asphalt with an LVCVA recommended load limit of 250 pounds per square foot; equipment with smooth tracks over 250,000 pounds must be moved on 1-inch steel plates at the exhibitor's expense, and staking tents into concrete is prohibited. CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 Show Rules & Regulations, 2026
- LVCC indoor floor loads vary by hall: the Central 3 concourse is limited to 175 pounds per square foot with a maximum 1,500 pounds per wheel, while South Hall second level 3 and 4 allow 300 pounds per square foot or 16,000 pounds per wheel. CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 Show Rules & Regulations, 2026
- There is no height limit for product or machinery, but booth materials and signs are capped at 10 feet in standard booths and 16 feet in larger configurations; a crane boom may extend out of the exhibit area only from 100 feet up, with at least 50% of a boom on a tower over 100 feet inside the space. CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 Show Rules & Regulations, 2026
Planning
Planning a construction show booth
- 01
Check floor load first
Heavy equipment must sit on a floor rated for it; at the Las Vegas Convention Center, limits differ by hall and outdoor lots are asphalt.
- 02
Plan fuel and batteries
Indoor machines run near-empty with a battery cable off, so ship them that way.
- 03
Choose indoor or outdoor space
Engines can be run outdoors only; outdoor lots suit live demos.
- 04
Use height for the machine, not the booth
Products and machinery have no height limit at CONEXPO-CON/AGG, but booth structures and signs do.
