Hire power towers, cable covers, literature stands and stand accessories for exhibitions, launches and conference stands.
Small exhibition accessories often decide whether a stand feels organised or improvised once the hall opens. Expo Hire hires 4-way 13A power towers, extension reels, cable cover ramps, literature stands, display easels, gridwall panels and counters with storage for exhibition stands and product launches.
Exhibition stands run on limited power, so the accessories list should start with the load plan. A standard 13A circuit gives about 3kW, which sounds generous until the stand adds a coffee machine, a fridge, two screens, LED lighting and laptop chargers. Power towers help because they place several sockets at one service point instead of forcing the stand team to daisy-chain adapters under the carpet. They do not create extra capacity, so the team still needs to total the load before the build. Extension reels and short power leads then route each device to the right place. Venue safety rules matter here. Many exhibition halls insist that any cable crossing a walkway sits under a proper cover ramp, not taped to the floor. A cable cover protects visitors, keeps the stand manager off the incident log and makes the build look finished. Accessories also control how the stand sells. A literature stand gives brochures a clear home instead of a stack on the reception desk. A display easel suits a product board, a campaign visual or a pricing sign that should sit at eye level. Gridwall panels help brands hang accessories, samples or modular product displays without building a full custom wall. Counters with storage do two jobs at once because they offer a greeting point while hiding leaflets, cleaning cloths, spare leads and staff bags. Teams that plan these details before the build day spend less time hunting for sockets and more time talking to visitors once the doors open.
Visitors judge a stand fast. Loose cables, open cardboard boxes and a pile of brochures on the floor tell the wrong story before the first conversation starts. Use one counter with storage for the working clutter, one literature stand for brochures and one power point area for the devices that need charging through the day. If the stand includes a screen wall, measure the cable routes before the build so the ramps sit in the right place from the start. On sales stands, put brochures where people can pick them up without blocking the greeting point. On launch stands, put the literature stand after the demo so the material supports the conversation instead of replacing it.

A power tower gives several sockets at one point on the stand and helps you distribute devices without messy adapters and loose leads.
Many venues require proper cable management when a lead crosses a walkway or open floor area.
A power tower, cable cover, literature stand and counter with storage often make the biggest difference on a compact sales stand.
