Hello, David. 

Many thanks.  I did look at genie's web site, but hadn't pursued 
details.  We would need some kind of platform to accommodate objects to 
be lifted -- presumably such a platform would be customized to specific 
needs?  Appreciate the heads-up re rental vs. purchase.  Getting an idea 
of the acquisition cost would be helpful.
