Genie Introduces Super-Straddle Accessory Redesign

Genie Industries today introduced the Super-Straddle accessory redesign. The Super-Straddle is an attachment that allows operators to mount a Genie AWP Super Series self propelled access platform above obstacles such as fixed seating in theatres and halls. 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.

“The Super-Straddle is a versatile, efficient accessory for facilities such as schools and churches,” said Kim Williams, senior market analyst, 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 Genie Super-Straddle weighs 274kg (580 pounds) and provides up to four feet of vertical clearance from the ground. The end frames adjust for leveling on floors with slopes up to six degrees. Additionally, display lights on the AWP Super Series self propelled access platforms ground control panel will notify operators when the Super-Straddle is set up correctly and ready to operate.

One of many accessories available with the Genie AWP powered access platforms, the Super-Straddle is compatible with all Genie AWP Super Series models (AWP™-20S, -25S, -30S, -36S and -40S) manufactured since 1996.
