The weight of a Genie forklift depends on the model and its lifting capacity. For compact material lifts like the Genie GL‑4, GL‑8, and GL‑10, the weight is relatively light—ranging from approximately 160 lb (73 kg) on the GL‑4 up to 260 lb (118 kg) on the GL‑10. These portable Genie forklifts are designed for easy transport and can be loaded into a service van by one or two people.
For heavy‑duty Genie telehandlers such as the GTH‑844, GTH‑1056, and GTH‑1544, the weight is significantly higher. A Genie telehandler typically weighs between 22,000 lb (10,000 kg) and 35,000 lb (15,900 kg) , depending on the boom length, counterweight, and tire configuration. These larger Genie forklifts are built for rugged construction sites and require heavy‑duty trailers for transport.
If you need the exact weight for a specific Genie forklift model, always check the machine's data plate or consult the operator's manual—because the weight of a Genie forklift varies by model, and knowing it is essential for safe transport and floor loading calculations.
