Genie GL4 Counterweight base

The Genie GL4 Counterweight base is a compact material lift needed when space is tight and accuracy matters. It’s the smallest model in the Genie Lift range but still has an impressive lift capacity of up to 227 kg, and can reach as high as 1.8m with the forks flipped up.

What makes this GL4 different from the other GL4 variants is the counterweight base design. Since the legs don’t stick out in front, you can roll the lift right up to your load without anything getting in the way. Which is important when you're working with shelves, countertops, or anything fixed in place. Used for maintenance, installers, and anyone who needs to lift objects in confined areas.

Setting up the GL4 Counterweight is simple; no tools are required, and it only takes a few seconds to get it ready to operate. It’s lightweight and easy to move around, allowing it to be easily loaded and unloaded from a van. The standard forks can be flipped up to give you an additional lifting height. 

And if you need to expand the GL4’s capabilities, there’s a good range of attachments available. Everything’s built to the highest quality as you’d expect from Genie.

If your job involves moving loads in a small footprint and you need something reliable that gets right up close to the load, the GL4 Counterweight base is a trusted choice. It’s precise, portable, and ready to work when you are.
