Condition

Every machine we list is carefully tested and inspected before being offered for sale, and this 2017 Genie GTH-5519 is no exception. The 2,375 operating hours reflect steady, real-world use while leaving plenty of productive life ahead. The heated cab indicates a machine configured for year-round operation, and foam filled tires point to a previous owner focused on minimizing tire-related downtime. As with any quality used telehandler, expect normal cosmetic wear consistent with age and hours, but also expect an honest, accurate representation of mechanical condition and functionality. Our inspection verifies operational readiness so you can put it to work quickly after purchase.

Advantages that Matter on the Job

Diesel: A diesel powerplant is the standard for serious material handling. Contractors value diesel for its torque at low RPM, fuel efficiency under load, and broad parts support across markets. For a telehandler that spends its day lifting pallets of block, lumber, roofing bundles, or mechanical equipment, diesel delivers the pull you need without drama. Heated Cab: A heated cab keeps operators effective during cold mornings and winter projects. Better comfort translates to better focus, smoother controls, and safer decision-making. When crews are productive in all seasons, schedules stay on track and overtime risk goes down. Foam Filled Tires: Foam filling substantially reduces the risk of flats from nails, debris, or rough surfaces and can help maintain tire integrity over time. Less downtime for tire service means more consistent utilization and a predictable workday. On jobsites where lost hours hurt budgets, foam filled tires deliver real savings. 5,500 lb Capacity: The GTH-5519’s 5,500 lb rating covers a wide range of common loads—pallets of CMU, bundles of plywood, coils of rebar, HVAC units, drywall stacks, and more. This capacity gives foremen flexibility: you can load, stage, and place materials without waiting on a larger machine, and you can keep crews supplied so work keeps moving. 19 ft Lift Height: With a 19 ft maximum lift height, this telehandler serves low-rise framing, roofing, interior build-outs, and second-story deliveries with ease. It’s tall enough to be useful across most residential and light commercial tasks, yet compact enough to maneuver where space is at a premium. That balance is why the GTH-5519 has become a contractor favorite.

Practical Applications

• Residential construction: Move pallets of block, brick, and lumber; feed framers; deliver roofing bundles to the eaves; support siding and window installs.
• Commercial buildouts: Stage drywall, steel studs, and mechanical equipment precisely where crews need them; maintain steady material flow inside tight sites.
• Masonry and hardscape: Lift and place CMU, pavers, mortar, and stone; support scaffold builds and teardown; maintain a clean, safe material staging area.
• Industrial and maintenance: Handle replacement parts, pipe, and equipment inside plants or yards where larger telehandlers struggle to maneuver.
• Warehousing and yards: Load/unload pallets outdoors on rough ground; reposition materials efficiently between staging points.
• Agricultural operations: Move feed, seed, fencing, and attachments; support building maintenance and light construction around the farm.

Ownership Value

Choosing a compact telehandler like the Genie GTH-5519 is a strategic move to reduce operating costs while protecting productivity. The diesel engine’s efficiency supports long shift performance, the heated cab extends your working season, and foam filled tires cut unscheduled stops for tire repair. The 5,500 lb/19 ft performance envelope hits a broad spectrum of daily tasks, which keeps utilization high—a critical factor in payback. Genie’s reputation for parts availability and straightforward service practices helps contain maintenance costs over the life of the machine. Buyers focused on total cost of ownership appreciate that this used telehandler delivers the capabilities crews need without the capital expense of a larger footprint machine.
