53ft GENIE 5390RT DIESEL SCISSOR LIFT

The Genie GS-5390RT is a large-format rough terrain diesel scissor lift that delivers a 16.15 m (53 ft) platform height and 18.15 m (59 ft) working height, with a 680 kg lift capacity. Built for outdoor and uneven ground, it handles gradients and site conditions that would stop electric indoor scissor lifts in their tracks. The extendable deck stretches the platform to 6.57 m when fully extended, giving crews a long, stable working surface at height — useful wherever scaffolding would take days to erect.

What sets the GS-5390RT apart from similarly rated rough terrain scissors is its combination of platform size and outright working height. The dual-deck extension means two or three trades can work simultaneously across a wide span, reducing the number of lifts needed on large jobs. Four-wheel drive with oscillating axles keeps the machine stable on undulating terrain, and the diesel powertrain ensures full performance through a long shift without battery management concerns. Stowed height and weight are manageable enough for standard float transport between sites.

On Geelong-area projects this machine suits commercial construction up to five storeys, large precast or tilt-panel industrial builds, bridge and infrastructure maintenance, and any outdoor job where a 16 m working platform and a heavy capacity are both required. It is a regular choice for civil and structural contractors working across the Geelong Ring Road corridor, Armstrong Creek development sites, and industrial estates in North Geelong and Lara.
