20ft Personnel Lift - Aerial and Handling Services

The GR20 lift is a compact, low-weight runabout machine which can be driven through doorways with the operator on board and fits in most passenger elevators. It is drivable at full height and well suited for warehousing, transporting, inventory management and general maintenance work.

Genie GR20 personnel lifts are the largest electric self-propelled powered access platforms, designed for completing a range of inspection, repair, maintenance, installation, warehousing and decorating work at a height.

Personnel lifts are safe, secure and reliable pieces of powered access equipment. Their compact design and powered wheels allow these powered access platforms to be driven around to where they are needed – even through doorways and into lifts.

These powered access platforms for hire can even be driven at full height – this is extremely convenient as it means you don’t need to retract the working platform in order to move it along the area you are working on.

Genie was founded in 1966 when Bud Bushnell bought the manufacturing rights to a material lift that operated on compressed air. Customers seemed to be impressed with the “magic in the bottle” that was used to raise and lower the hoist — and, the “Genie” name was born. With growing demand for material lifts and mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs), products such as man-lifts, scissor lifts, stick booms, articulated booms and telehandlers have been added to the Genie® product line.
