Genie scissors for Roland-Garros

The long term refurbishment programme at the Roland Garros tennis stadium in Paris has got underway again after a two month break for the French Open.

As work resumes on the project which includes a retractable roof for the Centre court, two new Genie GS-4390 RT Rough Terrain double deck scissor lifts from Duma Rent France have been supplied to ASF Facade Alu. They are currently lining up and installing 300 windows weighing 100kg each– thus the need for a large extended deck – 7.38 metres, and decent platform capacity – 690kg.

The GS4390RT has dual decks, levelling jacks and 680kg platform capacity

The project will also include a new tennis village, reception, media centre, tournament organisation building, shops and additional tennis courts. More space is also being provided at the Place des Mousquetaires with gardens and leisure area and is scheduled for completion by 2020. The stadium opened in time for the 1928 Davis Cup and according so some has changed little since.

The refurbishment will transform not only the stadium, but also the immediate area
