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

  • Posted on

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.

Trunk Tools unveils Cortex — a new AI intelligence layer built specifically as the “brain” of construction. Developed over four years from live construction projects with some of the largest and most respected U.S. general contractors, Cortex is designed to read, interpret and structure data from construction drawings: a capability that until now has been a fundamental barrier to AI adoption in the industry. Cortex is also designed to function as a unified intelligence layer across project documentation beyond blueprints. With Cortex, teams can interpret drawing data against the full corpus of project documentation: specs, RFIs, submittals, schedule and change […]
