Genie Industries began in 1966 with the introduction

of the Genie® Hoist — the product that launched thousands of lifts.

THE ORIGINAL

PORTABLE HOIST

Genie Industries began in 1966 with the original Genie® Hoist — a unique portable pneumatic lift that was so successful,

it launched the development of a full range of material hoists and aerial work platforms. Today’s Genie® Super Hoist™

continues the legacy of innovation with an incredibly compact, easy-to-use design. This portable telescoping pneumatic

hoist uses CO2 or compressed air to lift up to 300 lbs (136 kg) to heights of 12 ft 5.6 in (3.8 m) or up to 250 lbs (113 kg)

up to 18 ft 4.5 in (5.6 m).

fLexIbLe poWer

The hoist is powered by either CO2
or compressed air and provides
approximately 80 to 90 lifts from a
single tank of CO2. The “one size fi ts
all” bottle mounting bracket accepts
any common CO2 bottle size. A
20 lb (9 kg) CO2 tank is also available
as an accessory. The hose stretches
16 ft (4.87 m) for added mobility and
stores around brackets underneath
the platform when not in use.

easy operatIon

Up and down functions, including the
dump valve, can all be activated from
the patented pistol-grip control handle,
which clips to a storage button on the
side of the cylinder when not in use.

Lightweight, compact and portable, this telescoping pneumatic hoist
allows an individual to lift heavy loads into place for installation.

pLatforM cradLe packaGe

Available as an accessory to handle odd-shaped items.

versatILe appLIcatIons

Lift, position and install a wide variety of materials,

including metal and fi berboard air ducts, overhead

sprinklers/plumbing, drywall and ceiling panels,

and electrical fi xtures.

QuIck, easy setup

Sets up in seconds — no special tools required.

The one-piece platform attaches to the cylinder

with a twist of the wrist. Legs fold out from the

base, and the lock mechanism keeps each leg out

for use (or up for storage). Casters also lock in

place with the touch of a toe.

LIGhtWeIGht, coMpact desIGn

The compact size and weight allow one person to

lift and move heavy loads, yet quickly move from

job to job. The hoist is completely portable and

easy to store and transport. It’s so lightweight and

compact, it fi ts in the trunk of most cars.
