TELEHANDLERS
Terex AWP launched the Genie GTH-844 in January 2013, and will begin production of the Genie GTH-1544
in July 2013 for the ANSI market.
Additionally, the European range of Genie Compact, High Reach and Rotating Telehandlers feature four
newly redesigned models: the compact GTH-2506, high reach GTH-4014 and GTH-4018, plus the latest
rotating model, the GTH-5021R, combine the most
compact dimensions and tightest turning radius in
their respective classes to manoeuver in confined
spaces, claims the manufacturer.
“The Genie GTH-844 and the GTH-1544 are
new from the ground up. Both models feature
Tier 4 interim engines, new and stronger frames
and booms, quick attach carriages for fast
installation of the latest attachments, ergonomically
designed operator stations, side mounted engine
compartments which help to facilitate great
visibility, and the latest, most efficient hydraulic
systems,” says Scott Krieger, senior product
manager, booms and telehandlers.
The compact GTH-2506, high reach GTH-4014
and GTH-4018, and the rotating GTH-5021R are
designed for challenging tasks on rough terrain
due to high lift capabilities at maximum reach,
says the company. They are available with a range
of attachments for industrial and construction
applications. A streamlined chassis, equipped with
the latest Stage IIIB Perkins or Deutz engines, is
powered by a hydrostatic drive transmission.
REDESIGNS FROM GENIE
TH625 falls in the popular 2x2 m class.
With regard to their size, there have been
some technical innovations. For example the
TH412 comes into its own in tight working
areas, like the narrow lanes of high-bay
warehouses. Despite its compact dimensions,
the TH412 mini-telehandler is designed like
a traditional telehandler, says the company
with side engine, all-wheel steering, central
positioning of the boom. At a length of 2.92
m and a width of 1.56 m, the TH412 achieves
a stacking height of 4.31 m.
Both compact models offer all-wheel
steer with what the manufacturer describes
as generous steering angles for stacking and
transportation work. “We will continue to
produce telehandlers below a lifting height of
10 m, and no roto models,” said a company
spokesman.
