Genie #AWP-30S, Aerial Work Platform   $12,500 range







Scissor lift is heavy (2700 pounds) but you'd appreciate it working under a tension grid and moving to next location when hanging under tension grid without returning to deck. Painters appreciate larger deck.  Battery power can become maintenance issue.

Genie #AWP-30S Single-man lift is smaller (though not with outriggers in place), electric powered so forgetting to charge it doesn't become an issue.  Becomes a 2 person operation typically.  Can be moved in a 1 ton pickup with 2 crew if necessary - about 850 pounds.  UConn owns two - very useful when rigging.

Genie QS-20 - Platform only reaches to 19 feet  - another remote control option, weight 2450 pounds - eliminates outrigger issues.

Sorry to write to you all twice, but the subject heading wasn't right on the first one, and I'm really hoping to get some help on this.

Subject: Re: [Usittne] Flame Retardant Plotter Paper

I've been asked to spec a personnel lift.  We'll be using in a proscenium /thrust with a 21 foot tall proscenium and in a studio theatre with a 20 foot tall wire tension grid.  How tall am I going to want it to be to be useful in the proscenium/thrust theatre? Do I want a mast style lift or a scissors type lift.  Any opinions on this would be appreciated.  Do any of you have a favorite manufacturer or model?

Thanks,

Chase
