Higher Than You Think for a Lift This Small
Let’s say you need to replace a light in a warehouse, install signage above a storefront, or do some maintenance on the second floor—without scaffolding, ladders, or drama.
Enter: the Genie GS-1930.
It may be compact, but don’t let its size fool you. This little blue lift can take you places—specifically, up to 25 feet and 3 inches high.
Yes, you read that right.
📏 Stats That Matter (Especially Up in the Air)
Here’s what you’re working with:
-
Maximum working height: 25 ft 3 in (or 7.7 meters for the metric crowd)
-
Platform height: 19 ft 3 in (that’s where your boots will be)
-
Machine footprint: Just 6 ft long x 2.5 ft wide
-
Stowed height: Under 7 ft—roll it right through standard doorways
-
Lift capacity: ~500 lbs (approx. two workers + tools)
-
Power: Electric, quiet, and zero emissions
In short? Compact. Capable. Clean.
🏗️ Two Stories Up—and Then Some
A 25-foot working height means you can safely reach things on and above the second story of most buildings.
Perfect for:
-
Indoor maintenance
-
Light construction
-
Retail & commercial fit-outs
-
Data centers
-
Warehouses
-
Shopping malls
-
Even tall residential installs (like ceiling fans that feel dangerously ambitious)
If it’s overhead and hard to reach—but not 50 feet in the air—the GS-1930 is your go-to vertical buddy.
🧳 Maneuverability: Big Lift, Small Space
One of the Genie GS-1930’s biggest strengths is where it can go—not just how high it goes.
Thanks to its slim frame:
-
You can roll it through single doorways
-
Navigate tight hallways and elevators
-
Work comfortably in aisles, corners, and maintenance closets
It’s basically the ninja of the scissors lift world—quiet, narrow, efficient, and surprisingly strong.
🔋 Power & Safety: Plug It In, Lift Off
Powered by electric drive, the GS-1930 is:
-
Zero emission
-
Low noise
-
Great for indoor use (especially where ventilation matters)
It also comes with Genie’s well-known safety features, like:
-
Automatic pothole protection
-
Tilt sensors
-
Emergency lowering systems
-
Proportional controls for smoother rides (no jerky up-down surprises!)
Operators get peace of mind, and building managers stay happy.
💡 When to Use the GS-1930 (And When Not To)
✅ Perfect For:
-
Indoor ceiling work under 25 feet
-
Jobs in hospitals, schools, showrooms
-
When you need to lift tools, boxes, or signs
-
Operators who need compact gear with reliable performance
❌ Maybe Not Ideal If:
-
You need to work outdoors on uneven ground
-
The job requires higher than 30 feet
-
You’re lifting more than 500 lbs
For those tasks, Genie’s got bigger siblings (like the GS-2632, GS-3232, or boom lifts). But for small space, big reach jobs? The 1930 is hard to beat.
🏁 Final Thoughts
So, how high does a Genie GS-1930 go?
High enough to reach two-story ceilings—and compact enough to fit in your van.
It’s the perfect mix of portability and productivity, making it a favorite among electricians, HVAC techs, property managers, and warehouse warriors.
Small frame, big impact.
That’s the GS-1930 in a nutshell (or, technically, a platform).
