Boom Lifts provide the obvious benefits - Energy efficiency, quiet operation

Our electric and hybrid-powered boom lifts provide the obvious benefits: Energy efficiency, quiet operation, lower weight and lower cost. Industrial applications where the machines must be driven significant distances, the Genie FE hybrid system combines the benefits of a 48V DC machine with the power.

Several models feature a 48V DC electric drive system, which can be freely used in areas where quiet, emission-free operation is important. The Genie Z-40/23N model was the first in the industry to feature an AC drive system, which combines DC batteries with 3-phase AC drive motors for boom lift quiet, more energy efficient operation and longer battery life. This advanced system yields better drive speed and grade-ability, and the drive wheels work independently for excellent traction control. This system is also found on the Genie Z-33/18 boom.
Feel about alternatively powered booms. The market is looking for cleaner, greener and quieter equipment in the field, especially for indoor applications, and Genie has responded. These models offer ideal up and over reach in confined work spaces. Zero tails-wing means there’s no need to reposition the lift when rotating the turntable in crowded areas. And, the compact size suits applications where a lower machine weight is needed.

High performance, high efficiency and low emissions, Genie hybrid boom lift rental use an environmentally-friendly, fully compliant engine-powered generator to maintain the battery state of charge or to supplement the battery power to get a boost in machine performance. Constantly monitoring the state of the battery, our hybrid technology maximizes run time and minimizes fuel consumption.

Articulated boom lifts come with different height capacities

Articulated boom lifts are essentially mechanical arms that help you reach those hard-to-reach areas. This type of aerial lift appears on construction sites, in work on overhead utilities, tree trimming, painting, window cleaning, pretty much anyplace where work is performed above ground level.

Of course, if you only need one of these machines for a single job, or maybe once or twice per year, the cost to buy and maintain this equipment is prohibitive. Luckily, you can rent an articulated boom lift for a fraction of the cost, and for whatever time period serves your needs. 

Articulated boom lifts come with different height capacities, ranging from 10 ft. to over 100 ft. Rental rates are based largely on the unit's reach, so determine your requirements before renting to ensure you don't pay for more machine than you need. 

Proportional lift and drive controls allow precise positioning of the boom lift and smooth drive performance. Compact design features a tight turning radius with zero tail-swing for easy maneuvering through narrow aisles and standard doors. 

Providing exceptional access by extending from a retracted length of 12 ft (3.7 m) to an extended length of 20 ft (6.1 m). This design includes 360˚ continuous rotation turntable, 160˚ platform rotation for fast, easy positioning and 110˚ vertical range of motion. This design still provides access to “up, over, and in” applications inaccessible by a traditional jib.
