You do realise that the Genie MEWPs are dual voltage.Not sure why anyone would be wanting to carry a huge iron brick around with them?
The only time I have used a 110v transformer on site was to charge MEWPs everything else is lithium ion these days.

I changed the plug on ours and it takes 230v
A lot of stuff is, we had a dehumidifier recently (ex hire) it runs on 110v, but there's a switch behind a screwed on plate, if you alter this it will run on 240v. I think the Genies are the same, find the switch, flick it over, swap the plug and off you go.I've done that too.
how is this done? i got rid of a load as having ten spare was over kill, if i had a unit that went from 110 to 240 it would make sensei wouldt have said i had one if i didnt and it couldnt be done...

swap the windings....how is this done? i got rid of a load as having ten spare was over kill, if i had a unit that went from 110 to 240 it would make sense

Genies do it automatically. They'll charge anywhere from 100 - 240V and 50/60Hz. They call it automatic smart charge or something. No switch to flick just change the plug.
(Weird wiring inside Genies from memory as an aside though it's 25 years since I played with them. White line wires and switched neutrals or something).
Just to stop everyone clammering to purchase this little gem of a transformer ....I gave it away to the chippy over the road with a couple of 110v leads .
Naw the Chippies darn the road ....the Carpenter ( ;( ) ( imagine a winking emogi here ) ;C :C :C Oh Brians working again . ;() ( ();Cod and chips for a month?
