Genie updates GTH-844

Genie has unveiled an updated version of its 3.6 tonne/13.36 metre North American GTH-844 telehandler, with a new high-torque Deutz turbocharged 3.6 L Tier 4 Final engine option, without the need for regeneration or diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).

Genie has also taken the opportunity to update other components with Dana axles, with two gear ratios, performance matched to each engine size. Standard features include a Quick-Attach system, low-profile tyres, fenders and lift shackle at boom tip. A storage compartment has been added in the front of the unit to keep rigging equipment.

An optional rear proximity alarm supplements the operator’s direct and indirect visibility, providing the operator with audible and visual indication of obstacles within the detection range of the sensor when the machine is reversing.

As the previous unit, the GTH-844 offers 8.59 metres of forward reach, proportional dual cylinder frame-levelling up to 10 degrees side to side, and multi-functional, proportional joystick controller.

Genie telehandler product manager, Anders Mantere said: “An engine has a big impact on a machine’s overall return on capital, so we kept things simple and cost-effective with the updates to our popular GTH-844 telehandler. By optimising the drivetrain, and utilising the new high-torque, engine, the GTH-844 is a less complex machine at a lower price point.”
