Genie Offers New 1-3-5 Standard Telehandler Warranty

Warranty provides most comprehensive coverage offered in North America

REDMOND, WASH. (Dec. 19, 2006) – Genie Industries now offers the most comprehensive telehandler warranty offered in North America. The new 1-3-5 standard warranty covers electrical components for one year, hydraulic components for three years and structural components for five years. The 1-3-5 warranty applies to any Genie telehandler ordered (for North America) after Oct. 1, 2006.

"The general industry-standard warranty is 1-1-5: one year or 2000 hours of operation on the entire machine, one year on hydraulic components and five years on structural components," explains Jeff Dunn, Genie warranty manager. "Offering 1-3-5 terms not only provides more extensive coverage than you get with competitive models, it also brings the warranty in line with other Genie self-propelled products, an added benefit to our customers."
