GENIE GL-8STD Invertible Fork Material Lift 400 lb.

Genie GL-8STD invertible fork material lift is designed for lifting and transporting heavy materials in industrial and construction environments. Its unique feature lies in its ability to operate in tight spaces and navigate narrow aisles due to its invertible design. This functionality enables it to manoeuvre effectively, even in confined work areas where traditional lifts may struggle.

Working Mechanism:
