Transport and Lifting Instructions
Observe and Obey:
Genie provides this securement information as
a recommendation. Drivers are solely
responsible for making sure machines are
properly secured and the correct trailer is
selected pursuant to US Department of
Transportation regulations, other localized
regulations, and their company policy.
Genie customers needing to containerize any
lift or Genie product should source a qualified
freight forwarder with expertise in preparing,
loading and securing construction and lifting
equipment for international shipment.
Only qualified mobile elevating work platform
operators should move the machine on or off
the truck.
The transport vehicle must be parked on a level
surface.
The transport vehicle must be secured to
prevent rolling while the machine is being
loaded.
Be sure the vehicle capacity, loading surfaces
and chains or straps are sufficient to withstand
the machine weight. Genie lifts are very heavy
relative to their size. See the serial label for the
machine weight.
If the slope of the transport vehicle bed
exceeds the maximum slope rating, the
machine must be loaded and unloaded using a
winch as described in the brake release
operation.
Free-wheel Configuration for
Winching
Chock the wheels to prevent the machine from
rolling.
4WD models: Release the
wheel brakes by turning over
the two rear torque hub
disconnect caps. Turn needle
valve on traction manifold
counter-clockwise until it
stops.
Be sure the winch line is
properly secured to the drive
chassis tie points and the path
is clear of all obstructions.
Reverse the procedures described to re-engage the
brakes.
Note: The needle valve should always remain
closed during normal operation.
