Genie telehandler given a lift following makeover

The GTH-2506's full-height lift capacity has been increased to 900kg.

Genie has given its GTH-2506 compact rough-terrain telehandler a facelift, boosting full-height lift capacity by 100kg to 900kg, while retaining its compact footprint.

Key to the upgrade is a new 50kW Deutz engine and a redesigned engine compartment with improved service access.

A new boom has larger-diameter pins, standard hoses (in place of win hoses routed internally) with a switchable continuous/reversible auxiliary flow, and a redesigned attachment articulation.

Within the re-engineered cab, the floor-mounted throttle and foot brake pedals have been repositioned and the switches grouped to the right side of the dashboard.

A new hall-effect electrical joystick provides independent proportional boom control.

Similar upgrades on the GTH-3007 increase the maximum lift height to 6.9m and forward reach to 3.9m, with power coming from a 65kW Deutz engine.
