The new Genie GS-1330m electric scissor lift is a ‘micro-sized’ model designed for low-level access in space and weight-restricted applications. Measuring 1.4m long and 0.78m wide and weighing less than the standard service elevator capacity limitation of 1000kg, the Genie GS-1330m scissor lift is able to access jobsites previously off limits to heavier slab scissors and vertical mast lifts. It features solid non-marking 25cm tyres to combine the benefits of a ground clearance of 6cm with high-precision drive manoeuvrability adapted to sensitive surfaces.
The scissor lift is suitable for low floor load and zero emissions applications among which hotels, supermarkets, theatres, gymnasiums, malls and institutional jobsite tasks. Other top applications include construction and facilities maintenance duties in space-restricted or congested locations such as offices, high-rise and retail areas.
The Genie GS-1330m provides a maximum working height of 5.9m, offers 227kg lift capacity to take two people on the platform, a machine weight of 885 kg and incorporates the Genie Smart Link control system, which is compatible with the Genie Tech Pro Link handheld diagnostics tool.
Designed with operators in mind, the Genie GS-1330m is equipped with side-by-side platform guardrails for 0.46m deck extension, offering an extended platform length of 1.72m. It is engineered with diamond plate platform flooring, which provides a durable gripping surface. The link stack centred under the platform provides operators comfort while working at height.
Zach Gilmor, EMEAR Genie product manager, Terex AWP, said: “With the need to replace ladders with safe, productive and environment-friendly alternatives, low-level access is an activity sector that is growing in general, notably for industrial and institutional jobsite applications. Furthermore, rising demand for efficient solutions adapted to the constraints of low floor load and zero emissions sites implies the need for equipment that is sufficiently lightweight and respectful of the constraints of indoor jobsites.”
“Responding to the needs of customers working in today’s increasingly competitive, ‘green’ aerial access market, the Genie GS-1330m scissor lift combines an efficient 100% electric drive system with the benefits of quiet, emission-free operation and industry-leading runtime in a compact package for productive, all day long performance. This increased runtime is especially important in applications that involve significant amounts of driving,” adds Gilmor.
