Event logistics · Furniture, tableware and marquee hire
Delivery and collection for event hire companies
Furniture, tableware, marquees and décor: we handle the deliveries and collections of your peak season so you do not have to buy another truck.
How does SAVA LOGISTIC support event hire companies in peak season?
It runs the deliveries and collections of furniture, tableware, marquees and décor on peak weekends: delivery rounds to several venues and collection rounds afterwards, at the times agreed in the quote, weekends and nights included. A tail-lift truck, a small city vehicle or a full trailer depending on access, set-up crew on request, and storage in Castellar del Vallès between events.
- •Delivery and collection rounds planned with the hire company
- •Set-up crew on request for the equipment carried
- •Storage between events instead of an empty return trip
What we do for hire companies
Hire peaks fall on Fridays and Saturdays in season, with collections on Sunday or Monday. We plan the deliveries to several venues and the collection round with you, at the time agreed in the quote, weekends and nights included.
A tail-lift truck for furniture and marquees at venues without a dock, a small vehicle for city centres and a full trailer for big builds. On request we provide a loading and set-up crew, and the equipment can stay in Castellar del Vallès between one event and the next instead of returning empty to your depot.
We load with care, but we do not promise zero breakages: fragile items must be packed as for any transport.
What we don't do
- We do not wash tableware or handle your customers' deposits.
- No private individuals: we work with the hire company.
How we work
At the agreed time
The delivery time or time window at the venue is set in the quote, and we plan the route to meet it.
Venue access
Before assigning a vehicle we ask about access: loading dock or not, narrow street, city centre, and the venue's own load-in hours.
Tail-lift, city vehicle or trailer
A truck with a tail-lift for venues without a dock, a small vehicle for city-centre access and a full trailer for large builds or long legs.
Loading and set-up crew
On request, crew to load, unload and set up at the venue the equipment we carry.
Collection after the event
We come back for the equipment when the event or the load-out ends, in the window we agreed.
Weekends and nights
We deliver and collect at weekends and at night, which is when events are built and struck.
Storage between events
Your equipment can stay in our Castellar del Vallès warehouse between one event and the next instead of going back to your depot.
Warehouse in Castellar del Vallès →Spain, Europe and the islands
We work across Spain and towards the countries on our European corridors. The Balearic and Canary Islands are always quoted individually.
Rules worth knowing
Weekends and public holidays
Trucks over 7.5 t face restrictions on some dates and road sections, in Spain and in other countries. The small vehicle is not affected by them.
Truck bans by country →Low-emission zones
In Barcelona the low-emission zone applies on weekdays during working hours. If the delivery falls on a Friday morning, we check the zone against the venue address.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work weekends in the middle of the season?
Yes, we work at weekends and at night. In high season it is worth asking for a quote early to lock in the window.
Can you run a delivery round on Friday and a collection round on Monday?
Yes. Give us the venues, the windows and the volume at each stop and we plan one delivery round and one collection round.
Do you set up the furniture or the marquees?
We provide a set-up crew on request for the equipment we carry. Tell us in the form what needs setting up and how many people you bring yourselves.
Can you store the equipment between two events?
Yes, in our Castellar del Vallès warehouse. It saves an empty trip back to your depot when two events are close together.
