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:

- On-site servicing from our certified engineers
