How we load the Genie S-65

We have dismantled and loaded the Genie S65 for export before. It goes in 1 × 40 ft high cube.

1 × 40 ft high cube
Before loading, as on every boom lift wider than the box: platform off, wheels off. Our loading sheet does not list the steps for this one, so the survey confirms them.

1 × 40 ft high cube: main machine

From our dismantling and loading records, checked July 2026. Your machine's year, attachments and options can change the boxes; we confirm before booking.

Our loading records come first. The rest is worked out from the dimensions above against container, flat rack and RoRo limits; RoRo depends on a regular sailing to your port.

Genie S-65 shipping questions

Does a Genie S-65 fit in a shipping container?

Not in one piece: at 8 ft 2 in (2.49 m) wide it is wider than a 40 ft high-cube door (7 ft 8 in / 2.34 m). Taken apart, it goes in 1 × 40 ft high cube, the plan from our loading records.

How much does a Genie S-65 weigh for shipping?

Genie lists the Genie S-65 at 22,300 lb (10,102 kg) (operating weight); the bill of lading uses your machine's own weight.

What are the shipping dimensions of a Genie S-65?

24 ft 11 in × 8 ft 2 in × 8 ft 11 in (7.6 × 2.49 × 2.72 m) (length × width × height) in transport position, from Genie's published specifications for the Genie S-65.

What has to come off a Genie S-65 to ship it?

For 1 × 40 ft high cube, typically: platform off and wheels off. A boom lift wider than the box comes in with the platform and wheels off; the survey confirms it for your machine. Our crew does the work, crates and labels the loose parts and documents everything for reassembly.

Can a Genie S-65 ship RoRo?

Yes, where a RoRo lane serves your destination port. It drives on under its own power. RoRo from the U.S. reaches fewer countries than containers and flat racks, so we check your port first.
