APi SUPPLY, INC. RENTED AERIAL LIFTS TO THE MUSEUM OF RUSSIAN ART FOR THE CONVERSION OF A CHURCH INTO THEIR NEW MUSEUM

Snorkel Boom Lift in Front of The Museum of Russian Art APi Supply, Inc. rented a 126-foot Snorkel boom lift and a Bil-Jax Odyssey 34 manlift to The Museum of Russian Art for use in the conversion of a church into their new museum. The large Snorkel boom lift was used on the outside of the building in nearly all stages of the transformation. It was used for the painting of steel and stucco, tin roofing, hanging banners and so forth.

Bil-Jax Odyssey 34 Manlift Used to Paint a High Ceiling The smaller Bil-Jax Odyssey 34 manlift, a one man unit, was used inside the building for the painting of walls and ceilings and lighting installation. It is constructed of both aluminum and steel and reaches a height of 40 feet. All of its wheels and outrigger pads are non-marking so it is the perfect lift for use on indoor flooring. Its unique outrigger pattern allows the lift to be positioned close to walls or other objects, making it ideal for lighting maintenance, renovation work, theatrical lighting, decorating applications and any number of other indoor projects. Drawing of the Museum of Russian Art Following a 10-month construction project, the museum will welcome visitors to its new home on May 9, 2005, featuring the exhibition “In the Russian Tradition”. This new home is located at 5500 Stevens Ave. South (intersection of I-35W and Diamond Lake Road) in Minneapolis. “In the Russian Tradition” has been on loan to the Smithsonian since December of 2004. A joint effort of the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow and The Museum of Russian Art, it provides a visual tour of over 100 years of Russian art from 19th century realism through late 20th century impressionism.

In addition to “In the Russian Tradition” the museum will also be displaying a selection of approximately 100 additional painting of 20th century Russian art from its permanent collection and paintings on loan from various private collectors from across the United States.
