The Genie GH-5.6 Super Hoist material lift is a compressed air- or CO2-powered lift with a portable and compact design for lifting, positioning, and installing heavy items. The lift has a one-piece platform with a weight capacity of 250 lbs (113 kg), which screws directly onto an auto-lubricating lifting cylinder, for smooth up and down movement.

Safety Features, 16' Hose, and Pistol-Grip Control

To ensure the lift stays in place while in use, it has wheel brakes and leg locks for safety. With a bottle-mounting bracket that accepts most common C02 bottles, including a 16' hose for added mobility, the lift can be operated using either compressed air or CO2. The lift is controlled by a patented pistol-grip control handle for lifting and lowering items and has folding legs to make the lift compact for storage.
