World’s first 12 m full drive lift in its class

GRANTHAM, UK. (July 01, 2011) Genie is launching a new series of 1.75 m wide rough terrain scissor lifts to be introduced in Europe at Apex in Maastricht, NL. The three new models (GS™-2669 RT, GS™-3369 RT and GS™-4069 RT) are a significant redesign of the 68 series through increased capacity and improved jobsite performance. The new 12.2 m (40 ft) model introduction is the only one of its kind in the market. The scissors may be viewed at stand number 1250 & 1270, September 14th – September 16th.

“In the competitive rental industry, our customers need equipment that will be in high demand by jobsite personnel for uses such as commercial construction and infrastructure improvements,” said Jeff Weido, Senior Product Manager, Terex Aerial Work Platforms. “Customers can be confident in the quality of our new RT scissors series. The products address today’s most intensive jobsite demands while offering excellent value and simplified service access.”

The new GS™-4069 is the world’s first 12.2 m full drive-height rough terrain scissor lift in its class, offering a 14.2 m working height. “This is a tremendous addition to our scissor line,” said Weido. “This product will enable end users to dominate the jobsite with increased productivity and efficiency.” Providing end user uptime while on the jobsite, the 9.96 m and 7.9m working models are also equipped with the full drive-height feature, offering 11.96 m and 9.9 m of working height.

An increased platform work space gives end users more room to get their jobs done more efficiently. Increased lifting capacity on the GS™-2669 RT of 20 percent, from 567 kg (1250 lbs) to 680 kg (1500 lbs), provides the end user with more lifting capability. The GS™-3369 RT has a lifting capacity of 454 kg (1000 lbs); the GS™-4069 RT has a lifting capacity of 363 kg (800 lbs).

A standard front active-oscillating axle keeps all four wheels on the ground during operation, providing the end user with more machine control and power when climbing hills and jobsite obstacles. Wheel drives and high efficiency piston motors were added to get more torque to the rear wheels, providing jobsite performance similar to the large Genie® boom products.

Full swing-out doors provide easier service access to electronics, manifolds, hydraulics and engine.

The new Genie® Rough Terrain Scissor Series will be available in CE markets from September 2011.
