c.2. The 24’ long Gentex BusTop consists of the following components:





3. Eight Double-Angle 9.5’ Tall Ladders consisting of 2”x2”x3/16” Angle-Iron and 1” Schedule 40 Pipe Rungs. Ladders are 36” wide.a. Ladders are punched with keyhole slots at 3” increments for adjustability. This unique keyhole slot

design originated at General Steel Products4. Six 8’ Long and 42” high side guard rails with 1” Schedule 40 Pipe5. Twelve 8’ long, 36” wide and 3/4” thick, heavy-duty, anti-skid Tuf-Tred Platforms—Six are on the top

level to access the top of the bus and six are on the lower level to access the side windows. All platforms are placed inside an angle iron frame with flat bar straps underneath for even greater strength.

6. Twenty-Four #T-8 8’ long horizontal trusses formed in a unique design originated at General Steel. Made from 16 gauge steel. A set of 8’ trusses is rated to hold 750 lbs. This published rating, which appears on our yellow safety label, follows an OSHA guideline that says that the maximum capacity must be 4 times the published capacity. (We have in fact tested them to 3,000 lbs.)

7. Four 3’ End guard rails above each end ladder. Two are swing-gates.8. Two end swing-gates that swing/join over the top of the bus at the two far ends of the system.9. Sixteen 8” heavy-duty, industrial strength double-braking casters.10. Six 8’ long toe boards.11. Six 7” wide, 8’ long cantilevered “gap-filler” extension steps. These steps (with a padded bumper) fill

the gap between the edge of the platform deck and the top of the bus.12. One 9.5’ Tall, 36” wide, walk-up staircase with handrails and mid-rails. The heavy-duty staircase

consists of diamond-plate steps. Staircase is slanted at a natural and easy to walk-up 45 degree angle, ideal for carrying tools and equipment to the top.

13. All components meet or exceed OSHA standards stated in section 1910.29.14. All steel utilized is prime or first quality.15. Scaffolding is painted with a lacquer paint—“National Federal Safety Orange.”16. All parts and components are sanded, ground or deburred to remove all sharp or rough edges.17. Accessories are available including tool trays at easy-to-reach waist level that attach to the outside of

the guard rails.18. All scaffold components are manufactured at General Steel Products, Everett, MA and thus STILL

Made in the USA!19. Several key, proprietary components are in a patent pending status.20. Please note: longer versions of the Gentex BusTop (longer than the 24’ long system shown above) can

be ordered for longer, articulated buses, for example, and are proportionately priced.21. There are Gentex Scaffolds that have been out in the field working for 20, 30, 40 and even 50 years!

All that these users have had to do over the decades is replace casters and platforms from time-to-time. If a Gentex BusTop lasts you 50 years, it will outlast your current bus fleet!
