Applications
The Genie GL8 can be quickly set up without the need for any tools and can be loaded in a van for easy transport. With a base width of only 0.63m, the GL8 can easily be operated in tight spaces.
The Genie GL8 has a lifting capacity of 181kg, making it a safe solution for a wide range of lifting tasks across industries such as warehousing, manufacturing, maintenance, and logistics.
Just like all Genie material lifts, the GL8 is built to the highest quality, ensuring you get the most out of your investment.
Fitted with a standard base, the GL8 legs are in a fixed position, allowing the material lift to be compact and easy to set up.
The GL8 can be fully customised with a range of attachments to adapt to a wide range of different lifting requirements.
The GL8 comes with standard forks that can be flipped to add additional lifting height. With the forks down, the GL8 has a lifting height of 2.51m; when the forks are up, the lifting height becomes 3.06m.
The GL8 can be effortlessly loaded into a vehicle, making it perfect for multi-site work.
The optional load platform fits easily over forks to handle odd-shaped loads and can also be used as a portable work table.
The GL boom attachment turns your Genie® Lift™ into a hoist.
Attaching the aluminum ladder accessory to the genie lift increases your access to lifting and installation tasks (available on standard and straddle base models).
On the GL 8in (20 cm) non-marking rear wheels and 2in (5 cm), front-swivel casters are standard on the standard and straddle base models. 5 in (12 cm) rear-swivel casters with side brakes and fixed 4 in (10 cm) front wheels are standard on the counterweight base model. Optional pneumatic rear tires and foot-release brake available (standard and straddle base only).
Allows operators to lock in the Genie Lift in position.
