Description
The 2015 Genie GTH-636 Telehandler is built for dependable performance and easy operation on busy job sites. It delivers strong lifting power, smooth control, and solid stability in a compact frame. Because of its balanced design, the GTH-636 handles heavy loads while remaining easy to maneuver in tight areas.
Powered by a Deutz TD 2.9 L4 Turbo Diesel engine rated at 74 horsepower (Tier 4 Final), it combines torque, fuel efficiency, and reliability. In addition, the four-wheel-drive system and three selectable steering modes—front, crab, and coordinated—provide excellent traction on rough or uneven ground. As a result, operators can move confidently across gravel, dirt, and construction terrain.
The GTH-636 offers a maximum lift capacity of 6,000 lb (2,722 kg) and a lift height of 36 ft (10.97 m). For example, it can easily raise pallets of materials to upper-story work zones. The forward reach of 21 ft 11 in (6.68 m) allows precise load placement without constant repositioning. Furthermore, the side-mounted engine improves visibility, helping operators maintain awareness in crowded areas.
Durability is another strength. The heavy-duty chassis and reinforced boom provide long-term reliability, even in demanding applications. In particular, the machine’s proportional joystick controls make boom movement smooth and accurate. Therefore, operators can place materials quickly while maintaining control.
Maintenance is simple thanks to the well-organized engine bay and easy-access panels. As a result, routine service takes less time, keeping downtime to a minimum. The spacious cab includes ergonomic controls and clear sightlines for greater comfort during long workdays.
Whether you’re handling building materials, landscaping supplies, or industrial loads, the 2015 Genie GTH-636 Telehandler delivers power, reach, and reliability in one machine. Because of these advantages, it remains a trusted choice for contractors, builders, and rental fleets that demand proven performance on every job.
