Highly-innovative Genie self-propelled articulated boom lifts

With the recent introduction of several new boom lifts models, Genie continues to set the standard for innovation

Genie SX-180 boom lift: Designed to meet the increasing challenges of today’s towering oil and gas refinery, chemical, shipyard, general construction and maintenance tasks, the Genie SX-180 boom lift is one of the highest reaching machines of its kind on the market. Providing the benefits of both vertical and horizontal jib rotation to position workers and gear exactly where they are needed, this machine combines the benefits of high-precision access and place­ment up to 56.86 m (186 ft), with a horizontal outreach of up to 24.4 m (80 ft). Thanks to its compact Genie X-chassis™ system, the axles of the Genie SX-180 boom lift are rapidly extendable and retractable to combine the stability required on the job with a narrow profile for ease of transport.

Genie Z™-33/18 all-electric boom lift: Built in Europe to suit the needs of the European market, this versatile articulating Genie® boom lift model weighs only 3640 kg (8025 lbs) and offers a ground clearance of 15 cm (5.9 in). Particularly well-suited to applications on sensitive surfaces inside airports, shopping centres and theatres - in addition to routine outdoor maintenance tasks, the new Z-33/18 lift is designed to help increase efficiency on jobsites where space is tight. Its key features include solid non-marking or optional multi-surface tyres, long working cycles due to a low-consumption AC drive transmission, a tight turning radius for excellent manoeuvrability, the ability to drive at maximum height, plus the benefits of the Genie® FastMast™ boom system that shortens ground-to-top lifting time.

Genie® Z™-62/40 boom lift: The new Z™-62/40 boom lift benefits from significant improvements. compared to its predecessor Z™-60/34. The Z-62/40 diesel powered boom lift increases working height from 20.39 m (66 ft 4 in) to 20.87 m (67 ft 11in) and horizontal outreach from 11.05 m (36 ft 3 in) to 12.47 m (40 ft 11 in). Providing a maximum lift capacity of 227 kg (500 lbs), up-and-over clearance has also been increased from 7.80 m (25 ft 7) to 8.13 m (26 ft 8 in). Further enhancements include zero rear tail swing, reduced front turntable swing in stowed position, plus the ability to reach 1.68 m (5 ft 6 in) below grade. All of these features are available on a diesel-powered machine that weighs only 10.430 kg (23,000 lbs) and stows to the compact size of 7.58 m (24 ft and 10.5 in) with the jib in folded position.

Redesigned Stage IIIB Genie-GTH series telehandlers

In response to customer feedback and in compliance with upcoming exhaust emission regulations, Genie has upgraded its telehandler products. The result is a range of new models combining enhanced productivity and operator comfort well-suited to construction, waste and recycling, industrial and logistics applications. Focusing on energy efficiency, simple operation and innovative serviceability features for straight-forward maintenance, the newly improved models of the Genie telehandler series also feature a cabin providing excellent visibility to handle tough tasks productively and safely in virtually any environment. Showcased at Intermat, and including the upgrades outlined above, the GTH 4014 telehandler provides a lift capacity of up to 4 t, a lifting height of 14 m (46 ft) and is equipped with a 75kW Stage IIIB compliant Perkins engine which drives all four wheels through a hydrostatic transmission offering travel speeds of up to a 30km/h (18.6 mph). Combining the benefits of a class leading 3.8 m (12.5 ft) outside turning radius with the narrowest overall machine width in its class, the GTH-4014 telehandler is highly manoeuvrable and well-matched for work in congested and confined workspaces.
