The Genie GTH-2506 compact
telehandler provides a lifting height of

Australia, Engineering Manager said the
Genie launches next generation telehandlers
two high-reach telehandlers, the Genie
GTH-4014 and Genie GTH-4018, offer
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, providing
increased lifting performance on
outriggers. Their long reach and outside
turning radius, overall machine width
and excellent drivability give operators
the ability to work more productively
at construction tasks up to five or six
floors high or tasks such as masonry in
congested and confined spaces.
The cab has been redesigned to include
optional and standard features including
an air suspension operator seat, improved
joystick ergonomics, a tinted top view
front window, a large glove box and
manual holder inside the door.
New control features include an
electrically controlled parking brake
operated by an intuitive switch on the
dashboard. For jobsite safety, excellent
visibility from inside the cab, provides a
wide field of vision.
The machines now offer features 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 use of common components and
accessories reduces storage costs, and
streamlines operator and technical
training. Whether it’s a Genie Compact or
High Reach telehandler, the same training
applies, which improves productivity.

The site is located in Bayswater North,
in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne
and has been modified and revamped to
enable Nifty-Lift to increase production
capacity and benefit from efficiency
increases. The 14,000sqm site has also
allowed for expansion of the company’s
engineering, R&D and testing areas, as
well the inclusion of a laboratory area
to test and repair radio remote control
systems for EWP customers.
The company relocated to the new site in
early 2016 and manufacturing output is
already responding to the more effective
and efficient factory layout.
In addition to enabling Nifty-Lift to
produce more work platforms than
Nifty–Lift moves to larger premises
the previous site, the new facility also
features dedicated service bays, a high
voltage insulation testing station, as well
as a dedicated customer training area.
As the Australian and New Zealand agent
for Ruthmann, additional space at the
new site allows Nifty-Lift to offer greater
service, parts and support for Ruthmann
customers. With the population of
Ruthmann Steiger growing in Australia
each year since the partnership began,
Nifty-Lift is pleased to further increase
the after sales service levels, Kevin Power,
General Manager at Nifty-Lift said.
To celebrate the move, Nifty-Lift held
a series of Open Days for customers,
suppliers and staff families. Visitors were
treated to factory tours, and a display of
Nifty-Lift and Ruthmann work platforms.
