Genie Simplifies Maintenance Protocol for Scissorlifts and Telehandlers
Genie has reduced maintenance intervals and condensed six separate maintenance manuals into one for all GS-scissorlift models and GTH telehandler models in North America. The new one-stop maintenance manual contains complete performance specifications, as well as a streamlined list of maintenance tasks to complete.
The manual is available in hard copy or digital format.
“With rental equipment constantly going out and coming in, the streamlined maintenance procedures reduces the number of visits a Genie scissorlift or telehandler needs to make to the shop for preventive care,” said Karen Stash, Genie senior director, global product management and marketing. “Less time in the shop translates to more time out on rent, lowering our customers’ total cost of ownership and driving a higher rental return on invested capital. This approach makes scheduled maintenance less time-consuming and fits within the way our customers work at the branch level.”
Designed to save and simplify, the new protocol also includes recommendations for extended service intervals opportunities. For example, many periodic procedures for scissorlifts have moved from quarterly and semi-annually to annually. Commissioning has changed as well. Rather than perform some of the tasks at the 30-hour mark and some at 50 hours or longer, now all of the commissioning assignments for scissorlifts and telehandlers are set for 50 hours and 150 hours.
The new maintenance protocols are now available in North America. The new manuals can be downloaded from genielift.com, or hard copies can be ordered using service part number 1272215 for scissorlifts or 1272858 for telehandlers.
