At Jofson, we don’t just provide equipment and we deliver long-term solutions that help our clients operate more safely, efficiently, and sustainably. Our latest partnership with a global healthcare products company is a shining example of how our expert team pairs cutting-edge technology with unrivalled service support to meet the demands of world-class businesses. We proposed the 2024 Genie GS-4046 E-Drive scissor lift to our clients.

The Brief

Our client, a globally recognised manufacturer and distributor of healthcare products, approached Jofson with a clear need: a reliable, modern access solution capable of supporting their warehousing and facilities teams for the long term. Safety, sustainability, and ease of maintenance were all top priorities, and they were looking for a partner who could deliver the equipment and full-service support over an extended period.

After detailed discussions, we proposed the 2024 Genie GS-4046 E-Drive scissor lift; a perfect fit for the client’s requirements, and agreed on a 5-year hire contract complete with ongoing maintenance support provided by Jofson.

Why the Genie GS-4046 E-Drive?

This self-propelled electric scissor lift is part of Genie’s next-generation access range, designed with efficiency and operator safety at its core. The GS-4046 offers an impressive working height of 13.75m (45ft) while maintaining a compact 1.17m chassis width, allowing easy navigation through tight warehouse spaces and corridors.

Key advantages for the healthcare setting include:

  • Emission-free electric drive: Clean, quiet, and perfect for indoor use in sensitive environments like medical product facilities.
  • Reduced maintenance requirements: The E-Drive system is engineered for durability and long-term performance, which means less downtime and lower running costs.
  • Extended runtime: Ideal for multiple tasks throughout the working day with minimal battery recharge interruptions.
  • Enhanced safety features: Including a roll-out platform extension for greater reach and non-marking tyres to protect indoor flooring.

For a company operating in the healthcare sector, where cleanliness, reliability, and precision are non-negotiable, the Genie GS-4046 was the clear standout.

The Jofson Advantage

What truly sealed the deal wasn’t just the quality of the lift; it was the peace of mind that comes with Jofson’s comprehensive service support. As part of the 5-year contract, we’ve built in:

  • Planned preventative maintenance schedules
  • Rapid response for any breakdowns or faults
  • On-site servicing from our certified engineers
  • Regular safety inspections to ensure ongoing compliance

With Jofson maintaining the lift throughout the contract, the client can focus on what matters most: delivering essential healthcare products worldwide, while we keep their equipment running smoothly in the background.

A Partnership for the Future

This new agreement is a fantastic example of how Jofson supports major businesses with practical, future-focused solutions. From initial consultation through to delivery, training, and ongoing support, we’re proud to play our part in keeping one of the world’s leading healthcare suppliers safe and efficient at height.

The Genie GS-4046 is now on site and fully operational, already proving its worth in daily maintenance, racking adjustments, and facility inspections.
