Rome: Fiera Roma rules for hanging structures
Fiera Roma's Technical Regulations on Fair Grounds (September 2026) cover suspension from hall ceilings:
- Only Fiera Roma supplies the wire-rope hanging lines. The structure may be supplied and installed by the exhibitor or a contractor of its choice.
- Fiera Roma's technical staff set the position and number of lines from your project. Available in all halls except hall 10.
- Maximum load: 140 kg per hanging point. Height follows the show's rules and is never more than 8 m from the floor.
- The feasibility request goes in at least 15 days before build-up, with dimensioned drawings (plan, side and axonometric views, the requested points) and the technical details Fiera Roma asks for: materials, loads and the 140 kg check.
- Safety wire ropes are required; ropes hang vertically. No mixed ceiling-plus-floor support.
- Before opening, a technician appointed by Fiera Roma inspects the structures.
- Nothing may hang from the ceiling without this service, not even a light banner.
We supply the drawing of the structure and the truss specifications with weights for this request.
Malta: MFCC and the exhibitor manual
We found no public hanging rules for the MFCC; they come in the exhibitor manual. Request it as soon as you book, and ask the MFCC or the organiser early about hanging points over your stand and the documents they need.
What REX does
- We plan a frame for a banner, logo, lightbox or LED screen, or a ground-built tower or portal, in aluminium event truss sized from the manufacturer's load tables.
- We send the drawing and truss specifications with weights for your submission; the venue works out its hanging points and the load on each from them.
- Our crew assembles the structure on the floor and attaches it to the venue's lines or points; the venue lifts it.
- After the show the venue lowers it; we dismantle it and take it away.
A cost-effective alternative to the organiser's hanging package. See hanging structures for stands and the exhibition truss structures overview.
LED on the structure
With 140 kg per point in Rome, screen weight matters. Our indoor P2.6 cabinets (500 × 500 mm) weigh about 7 kg each, and we include them in the weights we send. See truss structures for LED walls. On request, we also build stand structures on a truss frame clad with LED or decorative panels, with the truss hidden.
Exhibitor timeline
- On booking: send us the stand drawing and dates; we return the drawing and truss weights. For Malta, request the manual and follow its dates.
- Rome: at least 15 days before build-up, send Fiera Roma the request with drawings and weights.
- Build-up: we assemble and attach; the venue lifts. In Rome, inspection before opening.
- After the show: the venue lowers; we dismantle and take it away.
For stand builders and agencies
We work as a subcontractor for stand builders and agencies, under their name: assembly, drawing and weights for your submission, and dismantling.
Our crews at SiGMA
REX crews work at SiGMA on AV and LED: BOOMERANG at SiGMA Europe 2025, SOFTSWISS at SiGMA Europe 2025 and BOOMERANG at SiGMA Europe 2024. We have assembled truss structures at many shows and other projects. Also at ICE? See hanging structures at ICE Barcelona and who does what with hanging points at trade shows.
Send us the stand drawing and show dates; we reply with a full net quote within 24 hours. Contact us.
Frequently asked questions
Are you a SiGMA stand builder?
No. We assemble truss structures for SiGMA stands, for exhibitors or under a stand builder's name. For a full stand, see the design and build link above.
Can our own contractor build a hanging structure at Fiera Roma?
Yes. Only the hanging lines must come from Fiera Roma, which sets their number and position.
When do we send the hanging request for SiGMA in Rome?
At least 15 days before build-up, with the drawings and the weights of the structure.
What are the hanging rules at the MFCC in Malta?
They are in the exhibitor manual, not online. Request it early and ask about hanging points.
