It's all about the install.

360Booth®. I installed and designed 360Booth®. About the installation, it was critical that I did the first 200 installs by myself. I packed them; I built them; I palletized them; I shipped them and installed.

Once I learned the entire process, I found, from my photo service of 23 years, four of the most amazing, highly-detailed individuals. We’d leave from Tampa, FL, on a Monday. We typically get to the average store around 11:00 in the morning, Monday. They get right to work. They’ll do a 10, 12, 13-hour day and deliver that studio to you on Wednesday afternoon. Once that happens, we are going to request all the managers and photographers to be there, and we are going to train your individuals. Sometimes it takes 20 minutes. They’ve done this before, and we just have to show them the subtleties of the light. We can stay four hours. If that doesn’t work, after the three-day install, Monday to Wednesday, I’ll fly in at no cost and train your guys.

How long does it take to get a studio installed?

How long does it take for a 360Booth® to be installed? Three days, with training. We ship the studio to the spot five days prior. We fly in somebody from Tampa early Monday morning. They laser-level the track and install all the track and the flooring on Monday. Even by Monday night, they’re assembling the structure. Wednesday, it is completely done, with logos if you want them. There’s training, and then he’s back home.

It’s that easy. It takes three days to install a 360Booth®.
 

Our fire marshal needs the specifications on the burn rating for your cloth top?

We install an amazing amount of studios per year, and every so often, we get a city that has a fire inspector who likes to prove his worth, and that’s okay. Just so you know, we have all the information on all the ridiculous requests they have.

I find it ridiculous because it’s too much, but it’s a necessity, and if they ask, I have all the information they need and then some, with certifications.

So, if the Fire Department asks for fire ratings, burn proofs, and all their questions? Contact us immediately. I have all the forms they need to do, and we can move on to the next task.

What kind of truck will the studio arrive in?

We ship 360Booth® all over the world. For that reason, the pallet has to be incredibly durable. For one, it’s 12 feet long, four feet wide. When it is fully installed on the pallet, it’s 1800 pounds.

What kind of truck typically shows up? A semi-truck with a 40-foot container. That’s why we require a forklift. The reason we want a forklift is that we don’t want anybody hurt, pushing it around. So a forklift is absolutely required.

There are some cases where new construction can’t get the truck there. There are some other things. Just call us, and I’ll walk you through every scenario.

What kind of truck shows up to a 360Booth® delivery? A semi-truck, typically a 40 footer. We will be very clear in our process to make sure you have the sharpest time for delivery so there is no time wasted at your store. Just be clear and transparent with us, and it’s a smooth process.
 

Why will I need a forklift?

Do you need a forklift? Well, it’s quite obvious.The pallet is 1800 pounds,12 feet long, four feet wide. This is an extremely-built custom pallet that we build and manufacture in Dallas.

You need a forklift so no one gets hurt. You need a forklift so you can lift 1800 pounds to your location and move it.

So, why do you need a forklift? It makes life simple.
 

What if I don’t have a forklift?

Okay, so for whatever reason, you can’t get a forklift. I have a solution. Call us. Do NOT dismantle the studio on the truck and bring it into the space. The plastic is very fragile, and it will gouge, and I’ll have to install a beautiful studio with gouged plastic.

Call us, and I’ll walk you through the process. It’s super easy, but you will need, like, four large dudes–or humans. Women can do it, too! Call us. I’ll explain how to do it.

So, you can get it off without a forklift, but I don’t recommend it.
