Why is it important to check the weight capacity of equipment before the trading phase begins?

Ensuring equipment can handle the required weight prevents accidents and damage during the fair. Items like racks and tables must be stable and safe to support a large number of goods.

What should be done if there is a shortage of equipment during the event?

In case of shortage, needed items can be purchased directly from those brought in for sale. This offers a fast and convenient solution compared to renting or sourcing new equipment externally.

How should unused equipment be managed during the discount period?

Unused equipment should be minimized in the hall to create more space and improve the shopping experience. Each zone must have a designated area to store such equipment neatly and avoid disruptions.
