Genie GS-4069 RT Scissor Lift
Presented here is the 1:32nd scale Genie GS-4069 RT self propelled scissor lift which has been produced in China by NZG. The GS-4069 RT has a 14 metre working height with a 363kg lifting capacity. The deck is 1.6 metres wide and 2.79 metres long with an additional 1.5 metre extension possible. Power is derived from a Kubota D-1105 diesel or DF-972 Gas/LGP engine delivering 24.5hp and 29hp respectively with all-wheel drive providing a maximum travel speed of 5.6km/h.
The model has been produced in two slightly different versions, one for the US market (above left) and one for the European market (above right) which has protective safety panels fitted to the chassis enclosing the scissor arms to prevent anything getting trapped as the platform is lowered.

The scissor arms adjust to a good height with one main and one secondary hydraulic cylinder providing good resistance to allow the platform to remain at the chosen height.
|
|
The platform is surrounded by metal safety railings and has a silver finished textured floor plate with the ability to extend the work area of the platform on one end which is fully functional on the model. |

The chassis has four height adjustable stabilisers which have circular pads and screw down to steady the model. One axle has working steering and all four wheels have rough terrain treaded tyres |

The engine and control modules are simplistically modelled on the sides with a small ladder on the end providing access to the platform. The finish is to the usual high standards from NZG with crisply applied Genie markings. It is presented in a printed cardboard box with inner polystyrene tray to keep the model secure |
