Genie 18 Ft. 6 In. Superlift Contractor Material Lift

Description

Hoist commercial HVAC duct packages overhead with the Genie SLC-18 Superlift Contractor Lift. This heavy-duty cable hoist elevates 650 lbs payloads up to 18ft-6in working heights across construction jobsites. A two-speed manual hand crank winch routes steel cable over aluminum sheaves. Tradesmen must swing captive stabilizer legs outward by hand before raising heavy loads.

Extruded aircraft aluminum mast sections glide on internal non-marking roller bearings inside a welded structural steel base chassis. A heavy-duty two-speed manual hand crank winch routes galvanized aircraft cable over aluminum sheaves. Base dimensions span 62in long by 31-1/2in wide folded, expanding to 66in wide with outriggers deployed. Total bare tool weight reaches 307 lbs.

Key Features of Genie SLC-18

HVAC trades and piping crews buy Genie SLC-18 hoists to position commercial roof chillers, duct packages, and sprinkler manifolds safely. Accessible industrial pricing keeps equipment rental expenses off contractor balance sheets.

• Rated lift capacity handles 650 lbs to lift heavy commercial fan coils, air handlers, and steel pipe.
• Maximum mast lifting height hits 18ft-6in to access high commercial bar joists and ceiling grids.
• Standard base design rolls through standard single doorways without tilting the vertical mast frame.
• Interchangeable steel forks invert without tools to provide maximum reach close to roof decks.
• Two-speed manual hand crank winch shifts gears to pull heavy loads or retrieve slack cable fast.
• Heavy-duty 4in front swivel casters and 8in rear wheels roll across rough jobsite concrete with ease.
• Mast hold-down bar secures carriage stages during open-bed truck transport between job locations.

Telescoping Mast Deflection Winch Test

Lifting a 650 lbs payload to the maximum 18ft-6in ceiling produces 1.15in of mast tip deflection on test slabs. The multi-strand steel cable tracks across machined aluminum sheaves with zero groove wear or strand fraying. Winch crank effort requires 24 lbs of hand force in low gear to lift maximum rated tonnage. Internal gravity brake pawls engage within 0.25in of handle release, preventing uncontrolled load drops under full test weight.

Staging Site Limits Cable Lubrication

Caster steering wheels demand 24 lbs of push effort across clean concrete when moving a fully loaded chassis. The outrigger legs lock down using spring-loaded steel detent pins. Do not buy this cable-operated lift for personnel hoisting or operation on uncompacted outdoor soil.

• Examine the galvanized steel hoist cable for wear, flattened areas, or fraying every 10 operating hours.
• Spray dry film lubricant on the aluminum mast sliding tracks every 40 hours of field service.
• Lubricate the two-speed winch drive gears with NLGI 2 grease every 90 days of contractor use.

Genie Equipment Warranty Hardware Manifest

Genie protects this contractor lift with a 1-Year limited commercial warranty covering structural and mechanism defects. The crated unit arrives on a wooden skid at 340 lbs freight weight. Uncrating yields the completed SLC-18 lift mast frame, outrigger legs, reversible forks, winch handle, and operator manual.
