Stock Up on Service Kits

Replacement components costs are individually small, but their impact on rental uptime is unquestionable. Genie® aerial equipment is some of the most frequently rented and used machines on jobsites — having the right parts in stock and at the right time, keeps your aerial equipment fleet “rent-ready.”

When you’re ordering parts, you don’t always have the time to stock up on what you need ahead of time. And when it comes to ordering parts, details matter — even if the parts share similar specs. Because of this, it is important to only order and use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. For example, only Genie Genuine Parts are tested and approved to work with your Genie machine, but many aftermarket and third-party suppliers will claim that their parts will work just as well as ones from Genie. But, the truth is that only using OEM geniune parts will provide the best value over the life of your lift and fit right every time so that you can maintain the machine’s factory specifications and performance.

To help take the guess work out of parts ordering and help you proactively protect your equipment investment, Genie offers service kits filled with the parts and components most commonly consumed by routine maintenance procedures and machine operations. Some Genie service kits to consider keeping in inventory include:

  • Annual inspection kits
  • 250-hour Tier 4F engine kits
  • Battery watering kits
  • Deutz plug repair kits
  • O-ring kits

Stock Up on Service KitsConveniently packaged in one kit, Genie makes it is easy to order these service kits ahead of time, giving you the opportunity to save on freight charges and to keep in inventory. This enables you to have them on hand when it’s time to complete your fleet’s preventive maintenance tasks without extra hassle. And since everything you need comes in one package, your mobile techs can carry these service kits in their trucks without worrying about how to transport many different parts.

Minimizing the downtime of routine maintenance and repair is one of the best ways to keep your aerial work platforms out on rent and making money for you. Keep your equipment performing its best with Genie Genuine Parts service kits, designed and tested for your Genie machine to guarantee the right fit every time.
