Description
The 2015 Genie GTH-636 Telehandler provides powerful performance and dependable handling for material-lifting jobs that demand reach, control, and stability. Compact yet capable, it combines rugged construction with advanced hydraulics for smooth, responsive operation on any job site.
Powered by a Deutz TD 2.9 L4 turbocharged diesel engine rated at 74 horsepower (Tier 4 Final), this model delivers efficient torque and low emissions. Its full-time four-wheel drive and three steering modes — front-wheel, crab, and coordinated — ensure precise maneuvering even on uneven ground. As a result, operators enjoy confident performance on dirt, gravel, or construction terrain.
With a maximum lift capacity of 6,000 lb and a lift height of 36 ft, the GTH-636 handles pallets, materials, and components with ease. The forward reach of nearly 22 ft lets you position loads accurately without repositioning the machine. In addition, the side-mounted engine and slim boom design improve visibility for safer operation in busy work areas.
Built for reliability and ease of service, the Genie GTH-636 Telehandler excels in material handling and construction applications. Its balance of power, reach, and maneuverability makes it a versatile choice for contractors and rental fleets looking for long-term value.
