Heavy-Lifting Genie SX-135 XC Boom Lift Offers Full Working Envelope

Posted by Brooke Just

The Genie’s SX-135 XC self-propelled telescopic boom lift delivers industry-leading outreach and capacity throughout the full working envelope for operational accessibility. The Genie SX-135 XC boom lift is packed with features, including 90 feet (27.43 m) of outreach, 660 pounds (300 kg) unrestricted lift capacity, the ability to work 19 feet 8 inches (6 m) below grade and a 12 foot 11 inch (3.94 m) x 13 foot 6 inch (4.11 m) compact footprint.    

Built to safely and quickly lift operators to full platform height — 135 feet (41.15 m) — in 2-1/2 minutes and drive enabled at full height, the Genie SX-135 XC boom lift will position workers and gear exactly where they are needed. The Genie SX-135 XC boom’s innovative design includes a working envelope with a working height of 141 feet (43.15 m) and a horizontal reach of 90 feet (27.43 m).

The Genie SX-135 XC boom also features a wide range of motion with an 18 foot (5.48 m) - 30 foot (9.14 m) Telescoping Jib-Extend jib, which offers operators up and over capabilities, as well as 55° down to 70° up of vertical jib rotation. 

Designed with transportability in mind, the Genie SX-135 XC boom features the new Genie mini Xchassis  axle design, which extends and retracts the axles to and from the stowed position with a more compact footprint — 8 feet 2 inches (2.49 m) x 13 feet 6 inches (4.11 m) retracted or 12 feet 11 inches (3.94 m) x 13 feet 6 inches (4.11 m) extended — to provide both stability on the job and a narrow profile for transport. The mini XChassis system provides for excellent maneuverability on and around confined jobsites without disrupting people or traffic.   

With the ability to perform a wider range of heavier lift and access tasks on rough terrain using a single machine, Genie XC boom lifts offer a dual lift capacity of 660 pounds (300 kg) unrestricted and 1,000 pounds (454 kg) restricted, giving end users the ability to work with up to three people onboard while still leaving room for tools and jobsite materials. The new XC design includes a standard 8 foot (2.44 m) tri-entry platform with side-swing gate.  

Like all Genie XC models, the SX-135 XC includes Genie’s low-maintenance load sense technology that monitors the weight on the platform and disables function if the load exceeds the platform load limit. 

The Genie SX-135 XC boom shares commonality in design, parts and accessories — such as the Genie Lift Tools Panel Cradle, Pipe Cradle, and Welder Ready package — as well as serviceability benefits, including easy access to crucial service points, with all Genie products.
