Battery maintenance and replacement is one of the biggest ongoing costs to scissor lift owners. Genie’s GS-1932 E-Drive Lithium-Ion scissor lift is equipped with a zero-maintenance battery that has been specifically designed for use in MEWPs and rigorously tested for longevity and reliability, even in extreme temperature environments. Certified by the independent Underwriters Laboratory against fire, electric shock and explosion, Genie Lithium-Ion batteries come with a five-year warranty and an expected lifespan of 10 years.

Operators and contractors will appreciate the fast four-hour charging time, which is 33-percent faster than FLA batteries, and the ability to work a full shift on a single charge. Optimized for extreme heat (120° F/ 49° C) and cold (-20° F/-29° C) weather performance, Genie E-Drive Lithium-Ion is designed to deliver the same performance.

Since their introduction in 2020, Genie E-Drive scissor lifts have 25-percent gradeability and 14° breakover angle. E-Drive motors are brushless and fully sealed against moisture and water for maintenance-free longevity. In addition, potential for hydraulic leaks is reduced because E-Drive has 70-percent fewer hydraulic hoses and fittings. The GS-1932 has a 25 foot 3 inch (7.85 m) working height, 500-pound (227 kg) platform capacity, and at 2 feet 8 inches (.81 m) wide, passes through standard single doors.
