Genie Expands Optional Accessories for Boom Lifts and Scissor Lifts

• Genie introduces three new accessories for boom and scissor lifts to enhance productivity and safety.

• The Lift Guard Lanyard Alert system encourages boom lift operators to attach their harness lanyards, with advanced configurations preventing machine functions until the lanyard is attached.

• Lift Guard Zone Lighting projects a visible boundary to help avoid collisions and injuries, available in EMEA in Q4 2025 and globally in early 2026.

• The Lift Tools Access Deck, which adds up to 22 inches of working height, will now be available globally for various scissor lift models.

Highlights:

• Lift Guard™ Lanyard Alert for Genie^® boom lifts encourages increased compliance with lanyard use requirements.

• Lift Guard Zone Lighting creates a visible border at ground level to illuminate perimeter clearance around Genie GS^™ scissor lifts, alerting operators and nearby workers of the machine’s work zone.

• Lift Tools™ Access Deck, which provides a safe way for operators to access hard-to-reach areas, is now available globally. Previously, it was available only for ANSI markets.

• These three new accessories will be on display in the Genie Booth at Vertikal Days on 10-11 September in the UK; 17-19 September during Journées du Levage (JDL Expo) in France; and 25-27 September during the GIS Expo in Italy.

Three new accessories for Genie boom and scissor lifts will help users enhance productivity safely. Visitors at trade shows this Fall in the UK, France, and Italy will be able to see these new accessories in person.

“Genie is actively improving and expanding available options and accessories for use across our boom lift and scissor lift product lines. The goal is to help end users be more productive and provide rental companies with tools to increase fleet utilisation within our current product portfolio,” said Dominik Damm, Director of Product Management, Booms Portfolio.

The following accessories will be available globally from Genie:

Lift Guard Lanyard Alert is a new secondary guarding system designed to encourage boom lift operators to attach their harness lanyards to established platform anchor points. It is available in standard and advanced configurations, which provide visual and audible warning alarms when the operator’s fall system lanyard is not attached to the anchor point inside the platform. This system is comparable to the automotive industry’s universal adoption of seatbelt in-use while driving warning systems.

The advanced configuration prevents machine functions until the operator’s lanyard is attached. Genie is the only OEM to develop a solution that prevents operation as well as a standard warning system, giving the customer the option on level of protection required by application.

“In some markets, such as in the UK, many contractors are requiring a lanyard warning device in order to bring boom lifts onto jobsites. It’s an important next step in the progression of operator protection,” Damm said.

Lanyard Alert can be ordered as a factory-fit option or retrofitted to all Genie boom models manufactured as of 2003. Both Lanyard Alert and Lanyard Alert Advanced are compliant with ANSI, CSA, CE, UKCA and AS standards.

Lift Guard Zone Lighting is a new perimeter lighting system for GS scissor lifts that helps users avoid collision, entrapment, or injury from dropped objects. Glass laser lights project a visible boundary at ground level about 2-3 feet / 61 cm away from the edge of the chassis, depending on the model. This helps operators see the perimeter clearance and signals nearby workers that they may be entering the scissor lift’s work zone.

Zone Lighting will be available in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) in Q4 2025, and the rest of the world in early 2026.

Building on the popularity of its Lift Tools™ Access Deck accessory—which is already available for several models of its scissor lifts in North America—Genie is expanding Access Deck availability to all regions globally.

The Access Deck improves access and productivity when performing tasks in hard-to-reach areas like rafters, ducts, and ceiling panels by adding as much as 22 in / 55.88 cm of working height, depending on the model. It is easily removable, allowing it to be transferred between machines as needed.

Access Deck is currently available in ANSI markets for GS-1432m, GS-1932m, GS-1930 and GS-1932 E-Drive slab scissor lifts. In other regions, it is available for the GS-1932, GS-2632 and GS-3232 next-generation slab scissor lifts.
