Earlier this month, Genie highlighted the numerous awards that its articulating and telescopic boom lifts have won in recent months from various industry trade magazines for innovation, market impact, and reader popularity. Winners include the Z-45 FE (51.8 feet; 15.8 meters) and Z-60 FE (65.7 ft; 20 m) articulating booms and S-40 XC (46 ft; 14 m) and S-45 XC (51 ft; 15.5 m) telescopic models. Genie XC (Xtra Capacity) lifts are designed for higher working heights, with 660- and 1,000-pound (300- and 454-kilogram) unrestricted and restricted capacities that allow them to lift three people, tools, and materials.

Advanced & Green Tech

Genie XC-series booms run on dual fuel or diesel engines, and feature load-sensing technology that continuously monitors the platform’s weight, adjusting accordingly based on the load chart. The Z-45 FE and Z-60 FE provide hybrid or all-electric operating modes, making them suitable for indoor or outdoor applications. Along with XC and FE lineups, Genie offers new J-series models that debuted early this year as a cost-effective option for tackling everyday jobs.
