The New Genie GS-4047
Designed To Meet Demands Of High Rise Indoor
Spaces
Terex AWP has designed the new 11.75m
Genie GS-4047 full drive-height self-propelled
electric scissor lift to meet the demands of tightly
packed, high rise indoor spaces. The GS-4047 lifts
up to 350kg to a maximum working height of
13.70
m and 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 maneuvering
around tight, restrictive work environments,”
David Greene, Genie Regional Sales Manager, VIC
&
TAS said.
A 91cm extension deck allows workers and
tools to utilise the maximum amount of platform
workspace. The GS-4047 has a travel speed of
3.1
km/h and can handle a 25% gradient. A new
24
V 300Ah battery pack offers more power for
elevation and translation and enables the operator
to operate for a full eight-hour work shift.
