Electrical Order

Most equipment has a manufacture plate that lists all of the information that is being asked below. From time to time though, either the watts or amps part is left off. If this is true in your case, then we will compute the missing category. However, WE MUST HAVE THE VOLTAGE portion of your equipment. If this information is still not available, then go to the plug on the end of the equipment and list what number is stamped on the plug. If the plug can connect to a standard wall outlet, then just make a notation that it is a standard Edison plug.

If you are bringing a stock truck, please be sure to list the type of plug, total length of the truck/trailer (including tongue), as well as the amperage and volts. Note: Only 1 (one) truck allowed per vendor.
