Genie® Manual Material Lifts Guide

Standard Base Genie® Superlift Advantage

Material lifts are used for light, heavy and specialized lifting of materials. Typically material lifts can be moved by one person and are easy to transport from work site to work site. The following list can help you decide which material lift is right for you.

Portable Hoist: Excellent for positioning and installing a wide variety of materials, including metal and fiberboard ducts, overhead sprinklers, plumbing, drywall and ceiling panels. The unit’s compact size and weight allow one person to lift and move heavy loads, yet quickly move from job to job.

Load Lifter: Excellent for warehouses, use it to lift and move everything from computer and electronic equipment to small appliances or manufactured parts. The quiet, high-speed reversible winch quickly lifts and lowers heavy loads with high-strength, aircraft-quality cable that is vinyl-coated for longer life.

Genie Lift – GL Series: Well suited for shipping/receiving, lifting heavy materials to or from shelves, installing and repairing HVAC components or lifting and moving heavy automotive parts. The telescoping aluminum frame makes the unit compact, the steel forks and winch handle are reversible for flexibility, and a hold-down mechanism secures the carriage for easy transport and storage.

Superlift Contractor: Ideal for construction firms and contractors, this lift is well suited for industrial applications and HVAC installations. These heavy-duty units can be operated by one person and can lift, lower and move loads up to 650 lbs. to heights of up to 24 ft. Glide rails allow one person to easily load or unload the unit, as well as lift it in or out of a pickup truck.

Superlift Advantage: This manually operated material lift can be equipped with a wide range of attachments to suit the product being moved. The compact, portable design rolls through standard single doorways in the upright position and is easy to load into a pickup truck.

Super Tower: The industry standard for theatrical productions and entertainment events. This lift telescopes lighting, sound systems and scenery. A flat black finish allows the lift to remain virtually invisible to audiences. Can reach a lifting height of over 24 feet.

Super Hoist Makes Overhead Installations Easy

Installing overhead air ducts, sprinklers, Sheetrock HVAC units, or electrical fixtures can be a dangerous job, especially if you are not using the right equipment. Carrying heavy materials up a ladder is not a good idea and renting scaffolding isn’t always cost effective. One solution to this problem is a lift like the Genie Super Hoist. The Super Hoist uses CO2 or compressed air to lift loads up to 300 lbs to a height of 12 feet 5.6″ inches or loads up to 250 lbs to a height 18 ft 4.5 inches. Another benefit to the Super Hoist is its portability. It can easily be transported by one person and it’s folding design fits in even the smallest of pickup beds. The hoist easily sets up in a matter of seconds and doesn’t require any tools.

The Benefits of Genie’s Superlift

Properly using lift equipment is one of the easiest ways to prevent worker injury and increase productivity. Unfortunately lift equipment costs money. That’s why the Genie Superlift makes so much sense. It can be used for multiple jobs and tasks.

Only have so many fork trucks in your warehouse? Use the Superlift for order picking. Need a drum lifter/rotator/mover? The Superlift empties, moves and rotates drums with ease. Working in a construction site? Don’t let your workers try to carry heavy objects up ladders, get them a Superlift. The Superlift excels in lifting ventilation ducts, piping, or HVAC units. The Genie Superlift is more than lift, it’s a drum handler, load lifter, and material mover all in one.
