Cannon’s six new Genie GS-1330m scissor lifts

Director Tom Cannon said: “We decided to reserve or pre-order a batch of Genie GS-1330m scissor lifts the second we saw the model announcement. For years, the industry standard has been to use 19ft scissor lifts, even if the customer is only working at half that height. And whilst this is not an issue, it is great to see a leading manufacturer producing a smaller conventional machine that will fill in the gap at the smallest end of the scissor lift market. Weighing less than 900kg, this model’s compact footprint will also ease transport costs. We are delighted to be able to extend our range of Genie scissor lifts with this purchase that joins a pair of new Genie Z-45/25 RT Rough Terrain boom lifts delivered this spring.”
