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 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 label for the
machine weight.

The machine must be on a level surface or
secured before releasing the brakes.

Do not allow the rails to fall when the snap pins
are removed. Maintain a firm grasp on the rails
when the rails are lowered.
