Complete Specification · Rebuilt for the Web
Everything in the manufacturer's 70-page submittal package — the formats, the load diagrams, the wind plan — readable on any screen, no PDF required.
01 · Three Ways to Run It
The GEN3 mast-column design is the strongest hydraulic stage the APEX line has built — and it deploys in three operational formats depending on how much show you're flying.

03 · The Drawings
Dimensioned drawings from the manufacturer's package — configurations, rated fly points, transport profile and access.
04 · High Wind Action Plan
The GEN3 ships with a formal engineer-reviewed High Wind Action Plan (HWAP) under the 2018 International Building Code — the document a Florida fire marshal or building official asks about first.
The complete HWAP, structural calculations, drawing approvals and flame-resistance certificates are in the downloadable package — and ride with the stage to every show.
