Minute Maid Park
Squeeze Play Running Man
The staff of Uni-Systems Engineering designed, supplied, and installed the updated structure and electro-mechanical drive system for the Minute Maid Park Squeeze Play Running Man feature. The 15-foot tall aluminum cut-out is driven 37.5 feet along a stainless steel rail, which is below the floor level and out of sight. The 15 horsepower belt drive system quietly moves the figure up to 15 feet per second, with speed quickly and easily adjusted by the operator. Fencing on all sides of the Running Man keep participants safe from moving parts. Emergency stop buttons and a foot pedal allow for immediate stops in case of any emergency.
