The Genie GL-8 is a material lift, with a straddle base that adjusts to accommodate loads or fixed objects up to 35" wide, that can be used as a hand truck, forklift, or dolly. The telescoping aluminum frame makes the lift compact and lightweight, while steel forks make the lift more durable.

It comes with non-marking 2" (5 cm) dual wheel front swivel casters, and 8" (20 cm) rear wheels for protecting floors when transporting items.
The lift has a hold-down bar to secure the aluminum mast during transport, and can fit through most standard doorways. Lifting power is provided from a standard winch, which is reversible for compact storage.
Material lifts are used for lifting a variety of loads such as installation of electrical fixtures, ducts, drywall, ceiling panels, and overhead sprinklers, among many others. For industrial use only.
