Everything you need to know about Electric vertical platform (5.5m) hire
Description
5.5m Genie GR12 Hire Electric Personal Work Platform Designed for taking on a number of tasks including maintenance, installation, decorating, inspection or repair in a broad spectrum of locations or scenarios, Genie Runabout GR12 personnel lifts are a perfect solution to work carried out at height. These electric, self-propelled units utilise their compact and robust design to give the ability for users to drive them into the desired location or position – even if the platform is erected to full height. This makes the GR12 extremely efficient, as it eliminates the need for the unit to be moved by external machines, and also allows operators to manoeuvre around a site or work area with ease. The GR12 can be raised up to a maximum platform height of 3.5m, allowing a working height of up to 5.5m. The platform itself features toe boards and a locking gate on its all-round guard rail, giving operators a safe and secure working environment.
