A dedicated stability control system is standard, with a hydraulic accumulator to smooth out shocks while operating the boom. The machines feature a 74 kw Perkins engine, three steering modes, a multifunctional 5x1 joystick, including a turret rotation function and simple display panels showing all parameters at a glance.

The GTH-4018 SR is equipped with a patented double effect stabiliser system, which simply creates a wider outrigger stance, improving its lifting capacity. Each stabiliser can be easily deployed and retracted at a push of a button. The stabilisers retract inline with the chassis and wheels, making the machine more compact and allowing the operator to manoeuvre the unit in tight spaces.

Carlo Forini, general manager of Genie ‘s telehandler product ranges said: “These high-reach, rough-terrain telehandlers have a rotating turret that can be used to handle the load without having to reposition the entire machine, helping operators save time. 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.”
