Genie GS2669 RT

The Genie GS2669 RT will combine a twenty-six foot platform aerial height. The chassis is sixty-nine inches wide holding one thousand five hundred pounds.  There are also thirty-three and forty feet tall Genie models. There are versions that can work indoors and outdoors by being electrically powered. The Genie is part of the growing RT scissor lift family.

In the walk around demo for the version of GS2669 RT Scissor Lift, which has an internal combustion engine, it represented the Genie family in the Showcase section.  The main goal and reason to use the sixty-nine inch tall RT is to give a higher quality performance at the job site and servicing runs a lot smoother.

The internal combustion engine is run by a Kubota Model 972, which is thirty-one horsepower and is a dual engine also. The options of using diesel at twenty-five horse power can be a Kubota D1105 or a Perkins diesel.

There has to be power given to the tires from the engine. Hydraulics is used to reduce the gear hubs and the piston motors are driven by the hydraulics. On the Genie GS2669 RT, a four wheel drive comes standard with positive traction control. Rough terrain tires are foam filled along with an oscillating axle as standard issue.

The RT will give three and half miles per hour for its top speed and can go up a forty percent grade. This is because the system has power that is full making it move in reverse and in forward both.  The turning radius inside the RT is only six feet eleven inches. 

Measuring nine foot two inches by five foot three inches, the powered platform has an extension deck that slides out to five feet. It can hold three hundred pounds. There is a deck made out of aluminum that is replaceable and the frame is made out of steel on the aerial platform.  The platform has an AC power outlet, folding guardrails, and a swing gate at full height.  Using proportional controls, the drive and lift functions can be operated. 

There are big doors on the engine compartment that swings open. It can be found on the other side of the chassis. To maintain and service the engine, it can be swung out at ninety degrees as it sits on a tray. Go to the rear of the RT and there is a ladder to access the platform, which makes servicing easy.

The last rung on the ladder is suspended on purpose. It is made out of rubber and will move if an object hits it. This protects the ladder from damage. This makes it cost effective as the bottom rung can be replaced and not the whole ladder.
