METALCON Rollforming Equipment Booth Planning
How should exhibitors plan a METALCON rollforming equipment booth?
Rollforming buyers need to see the machine footprint, follow the material path, and connect the process with the finished sample. The booth should protect viewing distance, service access, operator positions, power, and freight access without placing buyers inside the work zone. Before fabrication, confirm equipment dimensions, utility loads, delivery order, flooring, and the Hall South A setup plan.
Rollforming buyers want to understand the production sequence, not just see the machine. They need to follow material from infeed through forming to finished output, while also seeing the operator and service space the equipment requires.
The METALCON booth planning page covers the wider show. For rollforming exhibitors, the layout must bring machinery, tooling, automation, controls, material flow, and formed samples together without drawing buyers into the operating zone.
At OCCC Hall South A, machine dimensions, freight routing, power, flooring, handling, and installation order should be resolved early. Exhibitors showing a complete line or several production components can work with an experienced trade show booth design and execution team to coordinate engineering, fabrication, logistics, and show-site setup.

Booth Project Proof
Begin with what will physically enter the booth and whether the machine will operate. Tooling, controls, compact equipment, and a full rollforming line require different viewing distances, material paths, utilities, and service access.
A 10x20 trade show booth can present tooling, controls, software, formed samples, or one compact component with screens and limited storage.
A 20x30 trade show booth can separate the machine, material path, sample area, service clearance, storage, and technical meeting space.
A 20x20 trade show booth gives compact equipment room for viewing, operator access, sample output, technical graphics, and buyer discussions.
A 30x30 trade show booth supports larger machinery, several production stages, wider access, material handling, demonstrations, and longer buyer meetings.
The rollforming machine demo layout guide maps the machine footprint, operator position, buyer viewing area, sample output, and technical discussion zone. Review these relationships before locking the machine position, material path, and surrounding booth structure.
The booth has to explain the machine as a working production system. Buyers should be able to read its footprint, material path, output, controls, and service requirements without walking through the operating area.
Show the machine dimensions, operator position, control location, service panels, and required clearance around moving or accessible parts.
Make the infeed, forming path, and output direction visible through equipment placement, floor graphics, samples, or a clear process diagram.
Keep formed profiles and finished samples close to the machine so buyers can connect the production process with the final result.
Controls, tooling, maintenance points, cables, and demonstration staff need clear access without crossing the buyer viewing path.
Rollforming and manufacturing equipment are official METALCON categories covering machinery, tooling, controls, automation, and production systems.
METALCON runs October 7–9 at OCCC Hall South A in Orlando, with three days of equipment exhibits, demos, and technical conversations.
Buyers compare rollforming machinery, material handling, tooling, controls, automation, and software used across metal production.
Not Sure Which Booth Size You Need?
Not every exhibitor knows whether a 10x20, 20x20, 20x30, or larger booth is the right fit. Circle Exhibit can help review your event goals, product display needs, demo areas, meeting space, storage, budget scope, and setup timeline before you choose a booth size.

Rental for Tools and Controls
Rental structures suit tooling samples, controls, software, screens, formed profiles, counters, storage, and compact technical displays.
Custom Around Full Machinery
Full-size machines, operating demonstrations, equipment platforms, special access, or integrated utilities may require custom engineering and fabrication.
Hybrid for Equipment Displays
A hybrid booth can combine a reusable architectural structure with custom machine zones, sample stations, technical graphics, storage, and meeting space.
Route machinery, crates, tooling, samples, booth materials, and installation crews to the correct Hall South A booth location.
Plan machinery arrival and placement before surrounding walls, counters, graphics, or storage areas restrict equipment access.
Confirm electrical loads, cable routes, floor protection, leveling, operator positions, and any requirements created by a working demonstration.
Before opening, test controls, screens, lighting, sample handling, staff positions, and the path buyers use to view the equipment.
Orlando Booth Rental for Rollforming Exhibitors
An Orlando rental booth can support tooling, controls, software, screens, formed samples, storage, and compact technical displays. Full rollforming machinery, operating demonstrations, or equipment built into the booth usually require custom engineering, freight planning, and a detailed OCCC installation sequence.
Is Rollforming Equipment an official METALCON category?
Yes. METALCON lists Rollforming Equipment and Manufacturing Equipment among its official product categories.
