Genie is a globally recognized manufacturer of material handling equipment, best known for its telehandlers (telescopic forklifts), aerial work platforms, and scissor lifts. While Genie does not produce traditional counterbalance forklifts, its telehandler lineup offers rough-terrain lifting capabilities that combine the functions of a forklift with the extended reach of a crane. In 2026, Genie offers a range of new and used telehandlers through a network of authorized dealers and online marketplaces.
