Going to do some maintenance on lighting that's hung above a stage at a fairly new church.
It was built in an old industrial building with a cement slab floor.
The stage is about 60' wide and 25' deep with a 20:1 ramp along the front. The stage is 28" tall and the surface is 3/4" A/C painted plywood with joists every 4 feet and 2x4s in simpson ties crossing.
I want to rent a Genie runabout to do the maintenance, but I'm unsure how I know if the ramp and stage is able to handle the weight of the genie. In other venues, someone has already determined they're comfortable or uncomfortable with the lift, but no one at this location has any experience with a lift on the stage.
I was thinking a runabout because they're 1 man and weigh about 1300lbs instead of a 2 person which is about 2800lbs.
