“Each model offers the high quality and
productivity customers expect from
Genie equipment to support their needs
in the construction, waste handling,
recycling, industrial and logistics sectors,”
Mike Randle, Terex Aerial Work Platforms
Australia, Engineering Manager said.
All three new telehandlers have
undergone stringent testing, day after day
for hundreds of hours – the equivalent
of 10 years’ operation in the jobsite
environment, Mike said.
Providing a lifting height of up to 5.79m
(19ft), a maximum lifting capacity of
2,500kg (5,511lbs) and a lifting capacity
of 2,000kg (4,409lbs) at maximum height,
the Genie GTH-2506 compact telehandler
combines exceptional capabilities with
the benefits of a small footprint.
“The axles of the Genie GTH-2506 are
equipped with double brake discs to
combine the advantages of increased
braking power with the durability
required to operate for long hours in
rough jobsite conditions,” Mike said.
Offering lifting heights of up to 13.57m
(44ft 6in) and 17.61m (57ft), a maximum
lifting capacity of 4,000kg (8,818lbs) and
a lifting capacity of 3,000kg (6,614lbs) and
2,000kg (4,409lbs) at maximum height,
Next generation telehandlers
Genie has developed a range of new telehandlers, the compact Genie GTH-2506,
the high reach Genie GTH-4014 and the Genie GTH-4018.
the Genie GTH-4014
and Genie GTH-4018
high reach telehandlers
provide increased
lifting performance
on outriggers. The
hydrostatic transmission
and the new gearbox offer
the benefits of high torque
and high traction speeds.
On the jobsite, their long
reach, class-leading
outside turning radius,
overall machine width
and excellent drivability,
provide operators the
ability to work more
productively when
performing construction
tasks up to five or six
floors high, or tasks such as masonry in
congested and confined spaces.
The cab in the new Genie telehandler
series has been redesigned to include an
air suspension operator seat, improved
joystick ergonomics, a tinted top view
front window, a large glove box and
manual holder inside the door, plus a
repositioned air conditioning duct to
optimise operator comfort. New control
features include an electrically controlled
parking brake, operated by an intuitive
switch on the dashboard for increased
braking efficiency.
The machines now offer solutions to help
minimise damage, such as rubber or steel
mudguards, a toughened spring back and
folding rear view mirror, and tough steel
protected front and rear lights.
The valve bank, the fuel tank, the
radiator, filters and greasing points are all
positioned within easy reach. Hydraulic
boom greasing points are also simple
to access. Even the engine covers are
designed to open at just the right angle
for comfortable access.
The use of common components
and accessories help reduce storage
costs, and is also beneficial in terms of
operator and technical training. Whether
it’s a Genie Compact or High Reach
telehandler, the same training applies to
improve productivity in the field.
The telehandlers have been revised to
combine: an integrated load management
system featuring seven inch colour
display with dynamic load chart
with reversing camera and optional
forward and side cameras; increased
lifting heights, improved load lifting
performance, increased manoeuvrability
and enhanced drivability over rough
terrain; and new emissions standards:
new Stage IIIB engines. Contact: 07 3456

The 12V electric Power Tower also now
has a two man, 250kg outdoor rating
when equipped with the optional
stabiliser leg kit. With a total weight of
310kg, the powered scaffold tower has a
maximum platform height of 3.1m.
Designed and manufactured in the UK,
the Power Tower is a simple, push around
powered articulating boom access
platform, providing simple, effortless
access up to 5.1m working height (from
the ground or approximately 6m when
ute mounted). The Power Tower has a
compact working footprint (0.78m wide
x 1.5m long) and will easily pass through
Power Tower 5.10 Mast Lift
standard doorways. Monitor Lifts
can provide ute and truck mounting
kits for most vehicles which provides
approximately 1m extra working height
and is rated for two persons outdoors.
A quick-tach system allows the Power
Tower to be simply put on or taken off
the vehicle as required.
The Power Tower also features non-slip,
non-corrosion decking with removable
handrails for tight access as well as
heavy-duty Auto-Lok castors which
provide a secure base.

The Power Tower from Monitor Industries is a push into
position, mobile access platform, designed to provide a
variety of safe, convenient and practical solutions when
working at lower heights.
