Genie Launches Pick-and-Carry Telehandler for Large Material-Intensive Jobsites

The new Genie GTH-1544 pick-and-carry telehandler is designed to move materials efficiently across large-scale construction and infrastructure projects, steel erection, industrial maintenance and energy applications. With a 15,000 pound lift capacity and a 44-foot, 7-inch lift height, the GTH-1544 delivers productivity over a full shift, not just a single lift. Unlike traditional pick-and-place telehandlers that rely on stabilizers, Genie’s pick-and-carry design enables operators to transport materials quickly and complete more cycles per shift.

Operators benefit from higher usable capacity throughout the lifting envelope and the ability to make frequent lifts without deploying stabilizers. A cab with 360 degree visibility enhances operator confidence, while front and rear limited-slip differentials provide traction across rough terrain. Proportional frame leveling allows loads to be picked and placed on side slopes up to 10 degrees, expanding capability in real-world conditions. A multifunction joystick delivers smooth load handling, and a redesigned gauge cluster improves readability. A full fork and carriage portfolio, along with a standard lifting shackle, provides flexibility for a wide range of material-handling tasks.
