Construction and lifting equipment manufacturer Terex has introduced a new member to its Genie range of scissor lifts which it claims was designed to meet the demands of tightly packed, high rise indoor spaces.
The new 11.75m Genie GS-4047 has a lifting capacity of 350kg and
a working height of 13.70m plus a platform height of 11.70m.
“With dual front-wheel drive and zero inside turning radius,
combined with a compact footprint of just 2.44m long and 1.19m wide
stowed, the GS-4047 is ideal for manoeuvring around tight
restrictive work environments,” says David Greene, Genie’s Regional
Sales Manager for VIC and TAS.
The model comes with a 91 cm extension deck which Terex says
will give workers plenty of workspace.
Terex claims the new scissor lift has a travel speed of 3.1km/h
and is able to handle a 25% gradient to get up slopes and loading
ramps.
The company says a new 24V 300 Ah battery pack powering the lift
offers more strength for elevation and enables the operator to
storm through full eight hour working shifts.
“The GS-4047 incorporates the new Smartlink control system that
offers the operator the choice of two lift speeds based on the work
environment and the application,” says Greene.
Terex says the Smartlink system used in Genie’s lifting
equipment allows for troubleshooting with new grouped fault codes,
easier battery detection and user-friendly machine adjustments.
A joystick installed in the lift is used for drive and steer
only, thus allowing for simpler operation.
The machine is equipped with a four-wheel braking system that
combines dual rear spring hydraulically-released brakes with dual
front wheel hydraulic dynamic braking. The brakes are fully
enclosed in steel for protection against worksite debris and
machine wear, thus prolonging the machine’s life cycle.
Heavy-duty steel swing-out service trays allow for access to all
machine components for easy service and maintenance. Terex says 90
per cent of the components are common across the Genie slab
scissors family, therefore allowing service departments to stock
fewer parts and technicians to apply existing maintenance
knowledge.
