It provides 'up and over' access for the Genie AWP Super Series to be used in spaces that are otherwise inaccessible and hard to reach. Now available in all markets worldwide, the new Genie Super-Straddle was redesigned to meet the latest ANSI A92.3 standards and is CE compliant, the company says.
"The Super-Straddle is a versatile, efficient accessory for facilities such as schools and churches," says Kim Williams, senior market analyst at Genie Industries. "It allows easy overhead access for maintenance like changing light bulbs, replacing ceiling panels and even for touching up paint."
Easy to assemble and operate, the new Super-Straddle weighs 274kg (580lbs) and provides up to 1.22m (4ft) of vertical clearance from the ground. The end frames adjust for levelling on floors with slopes up to six degrees. Additionally, display lights on the AWP Super Series lift's ground control panel will notify operators when the Super-Straddle is set up correctly and ready to operate.
The Super-Straddle is compatible with all Genie AWP Super Series models (AWP-20S, -25S, -30S, -36S and -40S) manufactured since 1995, say Genie.
