Genie GS slab scissor lifts: GS-1330m to GS-4655

Reading the model number

The last two digits are the machine’s width in inches. A GS-1932 is 32 inches (0.81 m) wide and drives through most standard doors, while a GS-2646 is 46 inches (1.17 m) wide with a bigger platform and a higher capacity.

E-Drive and batteries

E-Drive is Genie’s AC electric drive. Brushless, sealed motors replace hydraulic drive, with 70% fewer hydraulic hoses and fittings. Earlier and some smaller GS machines used hydraulic drive. All run on a 24 V battery pack, flooded, AGM or lithium-ion, and climb a 25% slope stowed.

Checking a used scissor

Our engineers inspect every used scissor lift before sale. On a GS, the pothole guards must drop as the platform rises; if they don’t, an alarm sounds and the machine will not drive. Also check the scissor pins and fasteners, wear pads, tyres, battery pack and connections, platform controls and overload system. The batteries double as counterweight, so replacements must weigh at least as much as the originals. Capacities changed between generations, so go by the plate on the machine.

Supply, hire and training

We are an authorised Genie dealer, supplying new GS scissors and servicing and examining them, including machines bought elsewhere. Scissor lifts are available on hire and lease; ask us which models are available now. We run scissor lift training at our centres and on customers’ sites.
