TEREX AWP has introduced the new Genie QuickStock lift, which is designed to make inventory picking faster, easier and safer than rolling stairs or manually-propelled lifts.

An expansion of the versatile and popular Genie Runabout product line, the QuickStock lift is both compact and easy to manoeuvre, says a spokesperson for the US-based company. It is available in all three Runabout model heights of 3.48 m, 4.47 m, and 6.07 m and in two versions – retail (R) or warehouse (W).
“With its drivable picking platform, the QuickStock lift is ideal for locations where the use of high-density racking systems is common,” says Kim Williams, senior market analyst, Terex Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). “The QuickStock offers a quick, effective and safe way of picking and placing stock versus other types of equipment.”
The retail version with a footprint of just 1.35 m by .75 m and a zero inside-turning radius, is easy to manoeuvre through tight aisle-ways as well as navigate high-density shelving common in warehouse locations. A capacity up to 227 kg, or 159 kg for the QS 20, facilitates picking and placing large boxes and irregular objects from high stocking locations. The units include a standard large front workstation tray and the joystick is positioned up front, providing the operator with excellent visibility.
Enclosed wiring, maintenance-free batteries and an industrially-proven design provide low machine maintenance, Williams says.
She continues: “Light machine weight, non-marking tyres and quick battery charging allows for fast use of the QuickStock lift on most surfaces and applications. A 1.8-m charger cord allows the battery to be charged without the need for a separate extension cord.
“Dual platform swing-gates provide the operator with easy access no matter which direction the unit is facing while parked next to shelving. A step-in height of just 0.39 m and easy-to-use proportional controls make machine operation quick, easy and efficient.”
The retail version also offers standard features customised for front-of-the-house applications. Dual flashing beacons notify surrounding people that the unit is in operation. Additionally, an obstruction-sensing pad located on top of the chassis senses when an object is on the unit, causing the platform to automatically stop descending.
The warehouse version includes the same features and benefits of the retail package, with the exception of the dual flashing beacons and the obstruction sensing pad.
The Genie QuickStock lift is available in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Russia and Asia.
