Frequently asked questions

What can the Genie material lift be used for?
It is designed for lifting heavy or awkward items to height safely, including RSJs and steel beams (within the safe working load), ducting, ventilation units, plasterboard sheets, and lighting rigs. It is widely used on fit-out, refurbishment, and M&E installation projects.

What is the maximum lifting height and weight capacity?
We supply Genie SLA models covering working heights from approximately 3 metres up to 7.5 metres. Safe working loads vary by model. Tell us your lifting height and load weight when booking and we will confirm which model is right for your job.

Does it need a power supply?
No. The Genie material lift is manually operated using a hand winch. No electricity, battery, or compressed air is required, which makes it ideal for sites without power or where electrical equipment is restricted.

Can one person operate it?
Yes. One person can set up, position, and operate the lift. The hand winch provides controlled lifting and lowering. However, for heavy or awkward loads, having a second person to guide the item into position is recommended.

Will it fit through a standard doorway?
Yes. The Genie SLA range is designed for indoor use on tight sites. The base fits through standard doorways and the mast folds down for transport. It can be moved on castors once assembled.
