Genie Industries presented its updated Genie S-105 and S-125 telescopic boomlifts and the new Genie SX-105 XC and SX-125 XC booms at ConExpo. With dual lift capacity -- 660 pounds/1,000 pounds -- the new XC boomlifts are designed for heavy lifting in the construction and maintenance of stadiums and sports arenas, gas and oil refineries, industrial and telecommunications applications.
“Priced right, the new Genie SX-105 XC and SX-125 XC booms will be competitive in local markets while increasing customers’ ability to get more work done on every project,” said Adam Hailey, Genie director of product marketing. “We packed them with performance-enhancing features, including 80 feet of outreach, the ability to work 8 feet, 10 inches below grade and a stable 12 feet, 11 inches X 13 feet, 6 inches operating footprint. We also kept our focus on operators’ needs by updating the machines’ user interface and designing simple, easy-to-use booms. These models are engineered to deliver a higher rental return on invested capital for our customers’ businesses.
“The XC nomenclature also lets customers know that these new booms comply with the overload restriction guidelines in the proposed ANSI A92 and CSA B354 industry standards in North America, as well as the current European EN280 and Australian AS 1418.10 standards.”
The new Genie SX-105 XC and SX-125 XC booms say goodbye to the previous saw tooth working envelopes of predecessor machines. The operators’ experience is enhanced by these booms’ ability to automatically retract as they reach their operating envelope, giving the new SX-105 XC and SX-125 XC models a smoother range of motion throughout their working envelopes – up to 105 feet and 125 feet 1 inch in the air, respectively, with 135 degrees of vertical jib rotation.
Both booms are equipped with an emissions-compliant 74-hp Tier 4F/Stage IIIB diesel engine and a redesigned heavy-duty generator.
