Genie

A Genie lift is a type of aerial work platform used to safely raise workers and equipment for elevated tasks in construction, maintenance, and industrial settings. Manufactured by Genie, a Terex brand, these lifts include scissor lifts, boom lifts, telehandlers, and material lifts, all engineered for reliability, safety, and precision. Genie lifts are known for their smooth operation, reach capability, and industry-standard innovation.

The main difference between a Genie boom lift and a Genie scissor lift lies in their movement and reach capabilities.

A boom lift (also called a cherry picker or aerial work platform) provides both vertical and horizontal reach, allowing operators to access hard-to-reach areas such as rooftops or elevated structures at odd angles. Genie offers articulating and telescopic boom lifts with reach heights exceeding 100 feet.

A scissor lift, by contrast, moves only vertically, offering a stable, spacious platform ideal for tasks that require elevation but not outreach, such as indoor maintenance, painting, or warehouse stocking.

Both lift types serve unique purposes depending on the jobsite’s height, space constraints, and access requirements.

Genie lift batteries typically last between 3 to 5 years, depending on the model, usage frequency, and how well the batteries are maintained. Proper charging, fluid level checks (for flooded batteries), and avoiding deep discharges can significantly extend battery life. Using a smart charger and storing the lift properly during non-use periods are also key to battery longevity. Replacing worn-out batteries on schedule is crucial to maintaining consistent performance and uptime on the jobsite.
