The Genie GL4 Straddle base is one of the smallest in the Genie lift lineup. It’s compact, easy to move, and durable, with a lifting capacity up to 227kg. Depending on how you position the forks, you’ll get a lift height of either 1.26 meters (forks down) or up to 1.8 meters (forks flipped up), which gives you some additional flexibility.

What makes this model different from the Genie GL4 Standard is the straddle base design. The legs can extend out to the sides, letting you handle loads up to 0.91 meters wide. That extra width is needed to get around larger or awkwardly shaped items.

All Genie material lifts are used across different industries, from maintenance and installations to warehousing and retail. It’s practical, straightforward, and just makes the job easier. Whether you're loading up a shelf, moving inventory, or picking orders, it makes material handling efficient and safe.

The Genie GL4 Straddle can be set up in seconds with no tools required. Its portable design means you can roll it into place and be ready to lift in seconds. The standard forks flip to suit different lifting heights, which is a nice bonus when the task changes from one day to the next.

The GL4 Straddle has multiple accessories that can be attached, a flat load platform, a boom attachment, or a ladder accessory to give you some extra reach. Pneumatic wheels on the rear help it move smoothly over rougher surfaces, and a foot brake keeps everything steady once you're in position.

All in all, the GL4 Straddle Base is a compact and reliable piece of equipment that is perfect for tight spaces, but still strong enough to get the job done right.
