New rotating telehandlers from Genie
Genie has announced two new rotating telehandlers aimed at the rental market - the GTH-4016 SR and the GTH-4018 SR. The smaller GTH-4016 SR has a maximum lifting height of 15.42 metres with a maximum 4000kg lift capacity and 700kg at a maximum forward reach of 13.35 metres.
The larger 17.54 metres lift height GTH-4018 SR also has a 4000kg maximum lift capacity and can take 500kg to its maximum forward reach of 15.53 metres. Both machines have three steering modes and are powered by a 74kw Perkins engine.
Both models are user-friendly and rental operators will be able to operate these machines with ease. Simple display panels show all parameters at a glance and the integrated control system is very easy to use. A multifunctional 5x1 joystick includes the turret rotation function. There is also a wide number and choice of adding attachments available.
A dedicated stability control system is standard on all Genie telehandlers, with a hydraulic accumulator to smooth out shocks while operating the boom.

“We have engineered every detail on these new models for simple, streamlined maintenance. No matter which model you choose, you will get a robust, rental-friendly machine that’s simple to operate and maintain over years of demanding use,” said Carlo Forini, general manager for Genie telehandlers.
The GTH-4018 SR is equipped with a patented double-effect stabiliser system, said to improve the machines stability and therefore improving its lifting capacity. Each stabiliser is deployed and retracted at a push of a button and retract inline with the chassis and wheels, making the machine more streamlined making it easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces. Both models have a reduced amount electronic components using more simplified systems and circuits.
The telehandlers are manufactured in Perugia, Italy and are available now throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Russia, South America, Asia and Australia.

When does a telehandler become a crane?
That area is a little too grey for my taste.
