The key factors are the appliances that run continuously and those that start up – refrigeration, catering equipment, lighting and sound systems. Refrigeration units and motors draw several times their rated power during startup. Send us your list of appliances, and we will calculate the appropriate kVA rating.

Our range for events and trade fairs
Your topics at events
Before, during and after the event
Each card shows the problem, our solution, and the right equipment with the net price. We will calculate the costs for electricity, lighting, and cleaning together during a consultation.
No grid connection on site
Power for stage, catering and refrigeration
When sizing, it is not the total sum of the nameplates that counts, but what runs and starts up at the same time: cooling, catering, stage technology. Diesel generators from 25 to 100 kVA – we calculate the right size from your load list.
No failure in front of a live audience
Layout, parking and paths in the dark
Mobile LED light poles
The ALPHA light mast shines with 4×320 W LEDs and 255,000 lumens from a height of 7.6 m, while the BETA shines with 6×320 W and 400,000 lumens from a height of 8.4 m. Both run on Stage V diesel for up to 145 and 200 hours respectively without external power and are mounted on a road trailer.
Safe getting on and off, illuminated paths
Cups, lighters, flyers after the event
Outdoor area quickly clean again
After an event, litter is spread over a large area. According to the manufacturer, the KM180-PRO enclosed sweeper can cover up to 15,000 m²/h, while the SS240-PRO street sweeper can precisely clean along fences, benches, and edges where a mechanical sweeper cannot reach.
Site ready for handover the next morning
Exhibition hall floor between two trade fair days
Wet clean overnight
Between trade fair days, there is only the night. According to the manufacturer, the SM80S-PRO and SM125-PRO ride-on scrub dryers can cover up to 4,500 and 5,500 m²/h respectively, leaving the floor dry. Sweep beforehand – otherwise cable ties and plastic film residues will clog the squeegee.
Clean hall upon opening
Aisles between the stalls
Clean compactly during the trade fair
Ride-on scrubbers cannot fit through narrow aisles or between stalls. The ProMax 60 with a 450 mm cleaning path and the SM55F-PRO with drive wheels clean while in operation – the floor is immediately ready to walk on again.
Clean even on the third day of the trade fair
Moving material during setup and dismantling
Pallet truck and workshop equipment
For stage components, beverage pallets and equipment: the RTE EPT15H electric pallet truck and the RTE PS3500 reach truck with a lift height of 3,500 mm and a capacity of 1,500 kg each. Plus the tool trolley with 387 pieces for assembly.
Faster setup and dismantling with fewer staff
Sample calculation: Street sweeper instead of a cleaning crew
10,000 m² of outdoor area after an event. By hand, around 25 person-hours (assumption: 400 m² per hour per person). With the KM180-PRO, around one hour (15,000 m²/h according to the manufacturer, about two-thirds of that in practice), plus finishing work along the edges.
At €25 per hour, that is around €550 less in labor costs per event – at 20 events per year, around €11,000.
Example calculation based on assumptions, no guarantee. We are happy to calculate your own figures with you.
