Genex FIBERGLASS Scaffolds Protect You and Your Work.

Lightweight, portable Genex Fiberglass Scaffolds deliver unique protection unmatched by conventional aluminum or steel scaffolds:

Electrically non-conductive components increase safety around electrical systems. Genex's high-strength composite materials have been tested by independent laboratories and certified non-conductive in compliance with ANSI standards. Genex offers important safety benefits for electricians, electrical contractors, electrical utility workers or in any work situation where electrical systems are present.

Non-oxidizing components keep work surfaces clean. The composite materials used in Genex Fiberglass Scaffolds won't oxidize like conventional aluminum scaffolds. Genex reduces surface damage and clean-up time on drywall, painting, remodeling, ceiling, and interior building maintenance assignments. Rely on Genex Scaffolds in any situation where surfaces and materials need to stay clean.

Chemical-resistant components work safely in a wide range of job sites. Genex's composite materials prevent the premature material erosion that commonly occurs with conventional aluminum scaffolds when working around chemicals. This is an important benefit if your work is in chemical plants, or in "clean rooms" of food processing plants, hospitals, restaurants or computer chip/disc manufacturing plants.

"Genex orange" communicates safety. The distinctive, highly visible color of Genex Fiberglass Scaffolds adds a visual dimension to worker safety. This internationally accepted safety color helps keep worker safety conscious when working on or around Genex Scaffolds. This is especially important if motorized equipment is in operation on your job site.

These unique qualities, plus many other features, make Genex Scaffolds the best tool for:

• electrical contractors
• electrical utilities
• painting contractors
• ceiling contractors
• maintenance contractors
• remodeling contractors
• drywall contractors
• rental yards
• schools/hospitals/institutions
• building/facilities maintenance
• fashion industry
• theatrical/entertainment companies
• anywhere aluminum or steel scaffolds are currently used

* The Genex Fiberglass Scaffold system is designed with the latest materials and manufacturing processes. The basic system is comprised of fiber-reinforced polymeric compounds, polyester resins and high tensile aluminum. These components are bonded together using a high strength urethane adhesive specially formulated for the particular substrates being used. Genex's composite materials possess dielectric properties that make Genex Scaffolds non-conductive to electrical current in compliance with ANSI A14.5-1982, sections 7.10.1 and 7.10.2 (when used as manufactured and in dry conditions).These sections refer to the testing of electric properties (including AC dielectric strength and DC current leakage) of plastic materials.

GENEX'S High-Strength Materials Deliver Super On-the-Job Performance

Genex's lightweight composite tubes, rugged nylon fittings, and high strength ure-thane bonding process represent the leading edge of composite materials technology. The materials chosen by Genex engineers have proven track records in a variety of applica-tions where strength and durability are vital. The aircraft, automotive, construction, and electrical industries, along with Arctic expedi-tions, are among the areas where these materials are currently in use.

Composite tubes - Reinforced fiber materi-als (called rovings) are combined with crosslinking polymers and other elements (including ultraviolet inhibitors) to form Genex braces and end frame components. Genex engineers have incorporated a spe-cial patented "wrapping" process in the man-ufacturing of these components that delivers superior strength and durability.

Nylon Fittings- Fiberglass reinforced nylon is combined with other elements to create the fittings used on Genex Scaffolds. Reinforced nylon makes Genex fittings par-ticularly resistant to abrasions and the effects of weather.

Urethane Bonding - The urethane adhe-sive used on Genex Scaffolds creates a high-strength, moisture-resistant bond between fittings and braces. The heat applied injection molding process bonds components togeth-er. Unlike other adhesives (such as epoxy), urethane remains supple after curing - so temperature variations won't affect the bond-ed components. This gives Genex Scaffolds great durability and long life in all weather conditions.

Genex Scaffolds are engineered to meet or exceed OSHA requirements and comply with ANSI standard A-10.8-1988.

Genex Scaffolds are available in Narrow Width or Double Width, and in Quik-Base, Standard Span, Walk-Up and High Clearance models.
