2022 Genie GTH5519

Genie telehandlers stand out with compact models like the highly maneuverable Genie GTH-5519, side-mounted engines for simplified maintenance and enhanced visibility, and customized tires such as the GTH-1056 and GTH-1256 models’ long-life Enduro A/T with an exclusive hybrid tread pattern for top performance.

How Genie Telehandlers Excel

Telehandler lifts, unlike standard forklifts, allow their operators to move loads vertically and horizontally. They are equipped with an extendable boom lift and offer maneuverability and flexibility, crucial for navigating confined spaces, working over obstacles, and maintaining stability on uneven ground. Depending on the model, you can also augment your Genie telehandler by adding attachments like traditional and rotating pallet forks, buckets, jibs, platforms, and more.

Genie telehandlers are ideal for:

• Construction - lifting and placing building materials at height, pick-and-carry operations, and general jobsite cleanup
• Agriculture - handling hay bales, loading and unloading materials, and general farm maintenance
• Warehousing and industrial - moving palletized goods and heavy equipment, loading/unloading trucks, and industrial maintenance
• Infrastructure and energy - supporting infrastructure projects and tasks within the energy sector.
• Landscaping and masonry - moving bricks, paving stones, and other heavy building materials.

Genie telehandler attachments come in a wide variety, including buckets, augers, lumber forks, and pallet forks, easily attached via their Quick-Attach system. Rotating, swing, and side-shift carriages further enhance load placement accuracy. An adapter allows for the use of skid steer attachments, broadening the machine's functionality.

Choose The Right Genie Telehandler For Your Jobsite

Selecting the most appropriate Genie telehandler forklift requires careful consideration of several key specifications:

• Maximum Lifting Capacity - Genie telehandlers can lift loads of 5,500 to 12,000 lbs (2,495 to 5,443 kg), depending on the model.
• Maximum Lifting Height - Telescoping booms allow Genie telehandlers to achieve lift heights from 18.8 to 56.6 feet (5.74 to 17.25 meters), giving them entry to multi-story construction and high-reach applications.
• Forward Reach – The horizontal reach capabilities of Genie telehandlers range from 11.25 to 42 feet (3.43 to 12.8 meters), allowing them to work over obstacles and place loads with accuracy without repositioning the machine.
• Capacity at Max Height and Reach - While it’s vital to note that lifting capacity decreases as the boom extends. Genie telehandler lifts offer capacities from 4,400 to 8,000 lbs (1,996 to 3,629 kg) at maximum height and 1,500 to 4,000 lbs (680 to 1,814 kg) at maximum reach.
• Engine Type - Robust diesel engines power Genie’s GTH telehandler series. 
• Maneuverability - For tight spaces, the Genie mini telehandler GTH-5519 is known for its high maneuverability.

Genie Telehandler History

Genie's journey began in 1966 when Bud Bushnell introduced the “Genie” pneumatic material handling lift, where compressed air was touted as the “magic in the bottle” to raise and lower the hoist. Terex acquired Genie Industries in 2002, expanding the product line to include large telehandlers.

Today, Genie, a Terex brand, remains a leader in lift equipment, including the versatile GTH telehandler series for a wide range of material handling needs. Understanding their unique features and specifications empowers users to select the right telehandler for their projects.
