Genie launches six new scissors

Genie has announced an all-new, future-focused design for its slab scissor lift product range - specifically, the GS-1932, GS-2632, GS-3232, GS-2646, GS-3246 and GS-4046 scissor lifts.

“Genie’s Next-Generation Scissor Lifts are redefining the standard for slab scissor lifts and moving this classic MEWP category into the future,” explained Senior Global Product Manager Christian Dube. “Our priority when redesigning these lifts was to drive lower cost of ownership, improve serviceability, and enhance the user experience - all while delivering the quality that our customers and the industry expect from Genie.”

The most noticeable change with the new scissors is the curved linkage design, which reduces weight and allows Genie to use right-sized components - such as batteries, drive motors and other electrical components - all of which have a lower replacement part cost. 

Genie also focused on increasing service parts commonality and consistency of the component layout across the product line. There are fewer serviceable components than with previous generations, while at least 70% of remaining components are common across the product line. Fleet management is improved by incorporating a consistent parts layout in easy-to-access locations.

On the jobsite, operators will enjoy a redesigned platform that improves productivity and comfort when working at height. On the GS-1932, standard fixed guard rails allow users to drive through most common doors without the need to pause and fold guardrails down. The platform is 20% larger, offering more room for two people to work comfortably indoors. Across the range, operators will notice other subtle details that enhance comfort at height. When talking with customers, one of the common critiques of products available in the market today is the “flex” that occurs when standing on an extension deck. Genie solved this problem by reinforcing the extension deck across the range, giving the extension deck more structure.

The new Smart Link^™ platform controller is completely redesigned to be 30% lighter than the previous version and incorporates a more ergonomic design. Additionally, because it is modular, parts of the controller can be replaced without requiring replacement of the whole – another example of reducing parts replacement cost. The control system also has been updated to align to the new ISO ISO 21455:2020 standard.
