Transport and Lifting Instructions

Observe and Obey:
Genie Industries 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 aerial lift 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 plate for the
machine weight. See the Decals section for the
serial label location.
If the slope of the transport vehicle bed exceeds
the uphill or downhill maximum slope rating, the
machine must be loaded and unloaded using a
winch as described. See the Specifications
section for the slope ratings.
