Product Details

The GL12 is the largest model in the Genie Lift lineup. It’s designed to handle heavy loads with confidence, whether you’re working in maintenance, installations, warehouse operations, or pulling stock for orders.

With its straddle base as standard, the GL12 offers solid stability while lifting up to 159kg. It reaches up to 3.66 m, or even 4.20m if you flip the forks up for extra height.

What makes the GL12 stand out is its flexibility. It handles everything from loading and unloading goods to lifting equipment on job sites. The straddle base makes it easier to work with wider items or awkward loads, as the straddle base gives you the ability to increase the width of the legs.

It's simple to set up without the need for any tools. Users can have it ready to go in seconds. Its compact build makes storage and transport straightforward, so moving it between locations or work zones isn’t a hassle. The standard forks can also be reversed when you need a bit more lifting height.

Like all Genie equipment, the GL12 is built to the highest quality. It’s made for demanding use while still delivering smooth and reliable performance. If you want to increase the versatility of the material lift, there’s a full range of accessories available, which include a load platform, boom attachment, and a ladder, so you can tailor it to fit different jobs. With pneumatic rear tires for easy movement and a foot brake to lock it in place, you’ll find it both mobile and secure.

If you’re after a lift that combines power, reach, and dependable operation, the GL12 is a strong choice. It’s built for professionals who need performance they can count on.
