Genie Unites Terex Telehandler Sources

Genie announced at the American Rental Association tradeshow this winter that an extensive collection of blue Terex-sourced telehandlers will be marketed through the Genie distribution network. The GTH-644, 842 and 844 are manufactured in Redmond, Wash.; the GTH-636, 1048 and 1056 are made in Baraga, Mich.; and the tool-carrier-type GTH-5519 and GTH-6622 come from the Terex plant in Perucia, Italy.

Number of models: 8

New models: GTH-5519, GTH-6622, GTH-636, GTH-644, GTH-842, GTH-844, GTH-1048 and GTH-1056

Product-line features: Genie telehandler booms use pilot hydraulic controls (hydraulic over hydraulic). A variable displacement hydraulic pump minimizes hydraulic-system operating temperature and fuel consumption. Boom components can be accessed without taking the boom sections completely apart, reducing time and space required for repair.
