Integra low offset mechanism installed on residential pool — charcoal Aegis cover with lake backdrop

Low Offset Mechanism — 16-Inch Offset for Pools Up to 20x50

Standard mechanisms require 24-36 inches of deck clearance. Many pools can't accommodate that. The Low Offset changes the math — 16 inches total offset, half the deck space, same stainless steel engineering, same 20-year warranty.
