Observe and Obey: 

 

Genie provides this securement information as 
a recommendation. Drivers are solely 
responsible for making sure machines are 
properly secured and the correct trailer is 
selected pursuant to US Department of 
Transportation regulations, other localized 
regulations, and their company policy. 

 

Genie customers needing to containerize any 
lift or Genie product should source a qualified 
freight forwarder with expertise in preparing, 
loading and securing construction and lifting 
equipment for international shipment. 

 

Only qualified mobile elevating work platform 
operators should move the machine on or off 
the truck. 

 

The transport vehicle must be parked on a 
level surface. 

 

The transport vehicle must be secured to 
prevent rolling while the machine is being 
loaded. 

 

Be sure the vehicle capacity, loading surfaces 
and chains or straps are sufficient to withstand 
the machine weight. Genie lifts are very heavy 
relative to their size. See the serial label for 
the machine weight. See the inspections 
section for the serial label location. 

 

 

Be sure the turntable is secured with the 
turntable rotation lock before transporting. Be 
sure to unlock the turntable for operation. 

 

Do not drive the machine on a slope that 
exceeds the uphill, downhill or side slope 
rating. See Driving on a Slope in the Operating 
Instructions section. 

 

If the slope of the transport vehicle bed 
exceeds the uphill or downhill maximum slope 
rating, the machine must be loaded and 
unloaded using a winch as described in the 
brake release operation. See the 
Specifications section for the slope ratings. 

Free-wheel Configuration for 
Winching 

Chock the wheels to prevent the machine from 
rolling. 

2WD models: Release 
the non-steer wheel 
brakes by turning over 
the drive hub 
disconnect caps. 

4WD models: Release 
the wheel brakes by 
turning over all four 
drive hub disconnect 
caps. 

 

Be sure the winch line is properly secured to the 
drive chassis tie points and the path is clear of all 
obstructions. 

Reverse the procedures described to re-engage 
the brakes. 

Note: Towing the Genie Z-45/25 or the Z-45/25J is 
not recommended. If the machine must be towed, 
do not exceed 2 mph / 3.2 km/h.
