Genie GL8 Counterweight base

The Genie GL8 Counterweight Base lift is built for tight spaces where users are required to get close to the load. It’s manually operated and incredibly versatile, making it ideal for places where other material lifts simply won’t fit. Whether you're working in a warehouse, retail shop, or installing equipment in a crowded spot, this Genie material lift gives you the control and reach you need to handle materials.

Thanks to its counterweight base design, you can roll the GL8 right up to your load without anything blocking the way, due to no front legs in the way, allowing for direct access. It’s a real asset when you’re lifting from worktops, shelves, or areas with fixed obstacles. Despite its compact size, it can lift up to 182kg and reach as high as 3.06 meters when the forks are flipped up.

Setup is fast and simple. You can get it ready to use in under a minute without the need for any tools. The lift moves easily on its rear casters, and once you’re in place, the side brakes lock everything down so you can work safely. The standard forks flip over for extra height, which helps when you need that little extra reach.

If you need to increase the versatility of your GL4 Counterweight, there are accessories available. A load platform gives better stability for flat items, and a boom attachment turns your GL8 into a hoist.

All in all, the GL8 Counterweight base is a reliable pick when you need to lift with precision in a compact space.
