Genie (Bothell, WA) announces an all-new, future-focused design for its core slab scissor lift product line that further improves performance and lowers the total cost of ownership for Next-Generation Genie GS-1932, GS-2632, GS-3232, GS-2646, GS-3246, and GS-4046 scissor lifts.
The most noticeable change with the next-generation slab scissor lifts is the curved linkage design. This departure from industry standard reduces machine weight, allowing Genie to use right-sized components — including batteries, drive motors and other electrical components — which have a lower replacement part cost. Genie benchmarked its new lifts against competitors’ machines, and our own E-Drive scissors, to ensure industry-leading performance.
Other intentional design changes also improve quality and add to cost savings. These changes are the result of an extensive analysis at the beginning of Genie’s design process to identify opportunities to eliminate rust, limit the opportunity for damage, and reduce wear and tear.
On the jobsite, operators will enjoy a completely re-designed platform that improves productivity and comfort when working at height. On the popular GS-1932, standard fixed guard rails allow users to drive through most common doors without the need to pause and fold guardrails down. The platform is 20% larger, offering more room for two people to work comfortably indoors.
The new Smart Link platform controller is completely redesigned to be 30% lighter than the previous version and incorporates a more ergonomic design. Additionally, because it is modular, parts of the controller can be replaced without requiring replacement of the whole – another example of reducing parts replacement cost.
Deliveries of the next generation Genie GS slab scissor lifts to customers in North America will begin in late 2025.
