The Anaheim Convention Center (ACC) officially opened the Claudina Marshaling Yard, located on the corner of Anaheim Blvd. and Claudina Way. The 6 acres of on-grade asphalt is just off the 5 freeway, within 2 miles of the ACC.
What Is a Marshaling Yard and Why Is It Crucial for Convention Centers?
When planning a large event, such as a trade show, exhibition, or convention, the logistics of moving and organizing materials can be a daunting task. This is where the Claudina Marshaling Yard becomes essential. But what exactly is a marshaling yard, and why is it important for convention centers to offer this extra space to their clients?
Understanding the Marshaling Yard
A marshaling yard, commonly known as a shunting, classification or freight yard, is a designated area that serves as a staging ground for the coordination of deliveries and shipments, ensuring that everything arrives at the right place and time without causing congestion at the main loading docks.
The yard provides optimal space for vehicles to wait, get organized, and undergo security checks before being allowed to unload their cargo. In essence, a marshaling yard acts as a buffer zone between the external supply chain and the convention center, allowing for the efficient flow of materials in and out of the convention center.
An Enhancement for Events at the Anaheim Convention Center
“The marshaling yard for the Anaheim Convention Center is the newest benefit to holding your large convention in Anaheim. We have the solution for your material handling and storage which will accommodate even the largest of conventions, all just a short distance away from our convention campus,” says Ronnie Collins, Senior Vice President of Sales & Services with Visit Anaheim.
The Claudina Marshaling Yard's proximity to the Anaheim Convention Center is a significant advantage for event organizers. This yard enhances the efficient management of material handling for events, ensuring timely operations from start to finish. The yard supports everything from receiving freight and preparing for move-in and move-out to providing storage during event days, all of which contribute to smoother, streamlined event logistics.
