What can I expect when I rent a Medical Inflatables exhibit?
When you rent a Medical Inflatables exhibit, you can expect several things:
1. You will be adding to your event a proven attraction guaranteed to draw crowds and the media.
2. A dedicated event staff focused solely on making sure you have a wonderful experience.
3. No hidden fees or extra expenses.
4. If needed, we can provide materials to help you publicize your event.
How much do you charge to rent a Medical Inflatables exhibit?
The exact rental charge depends on a number of factors including the event location, duration, date, and whether you are renting for multiple event dates and whether you are renting multiple exhibits. Our events team will be happy to work with you to develop a solution that best fits your needs.

Are there any additional charges?
The rental charge includes shipping and travel for a Medical Inflatables staff member, who will assist in the set up, monitoring, disassembly and return shipping of the exhibit. If the exhibit is to be displayed outdoors, the client must provide a tent or other structure (at the client's expense) to protect the exhibit from wind and rain. Also, if no electrical outlet is readily available, the client will need to provide a 2,000-watt electric generator.
How long does it take to ship an exhibit to an event?
Typically, we need four weeks to make shipping and travel arrangements. To ensure you obtain an exhibit for your desired event date, we recommend executing the rental agreement as soon as possible.

What information is needed to prepare a quote and rental agreement?
To prepare your rental agreement, Medical Inflatables will need to know the following information:
- the day(s) and time(s) of your event(s)
- the street address of the event(s)
- the size of the room or area in which the exhibit will be displayed
- the shipping address
How will the exhibit be delivered to my event location?
Typically, the exhibit is shipped to your location by commercial carrier and will arrive one or two days prior to your event. Each exhibit weighs approximately 350 lbs. and is shipped in a rolling case that can fit through most standard doors. The client is responsible for safely storing the exhibit until it is time to it set up for the event.
Will I need to set up or take down exhibit?
Medical Inflatables will provide trained personnel to answer any questions during the event and handle setup and take-down operations. We also ask the client to provide one or two people to assist with the initial setup and breakdown which normally takes about an hour.
How much space should be allowed for the exhibit?
It depends on the exhibit requested, but most will require a 30-by-30-foot area with at least 12 feet of ceiling height.
Will the exhibit require electricity?
A standard 110/120-volt, 15-amp power outlet is all that is required to operate our exhibits. The outlet should be conveniently accessible and within a few feet of the exhibit to supply power to the blower, which maintains inflation. Medical inflatables will provide a 25 foot extension cord. Should a longer extension cord be needed, we ask that the client provide. However, to prevent the blower from shorting out, extension cords should be shorter than 100 feet. The blower will run continuously while the exhibit is inflated and emits sound equivalent to a hair dryer. If necessary, we can provide a sound-reduction box for the blower.
Does the exhibit have lights?
Yes, the exhibits use special LED lights on the inside to ensure the interior features can be seen.
What happens to the exhibit between multiple day events?
If the event is multiple days, the exhibit will be deflated every night and inflated the following morning. Proper security measures must be taken to secure the exhibit overnight.
Can the exhibit be used outdoors?
Yes, but we ask that clients provide a 30-by-30-foot tent or other structure to fully cover the exhibit. We also require the exhibit to be set up on a smooth, level and dry surface. We recommend that a frame tent (no center pole) be used and that the center height be at least 12 feet. If conventional power outlets are not available for an outside event, a 2,000-watt or greater generator will be required.
