New fuel electric model boasts quiet operation and powerful performance

As part of its ‘go anywhere’ capabilities, this rugged four-wheel drive machine offers 45 percent gradeability, great ground clearance of 1 ft 1 in (33 cm) and is capable of travelling 25 percent faster than other typical diesel-powered units. Operators will also appreciate its full-time active oscillating axles that increase wheel contact on irregular terrain, as well as its fully sealed AC motors, that support drive performance even while submerged under 3 ft (91 cm) of water.

Providing 66 ft (20 m) of working height, 36 ft 7 in (11.15 m) of horizontal outreach and 24 ft 3 in (7.4 m) of up-and-over clearance, the Genie Z-60/37FE lift is equipped as standard with a 5 ft (1.5 m) jib offering 70° up and 65° down range of motion and a 160° platform rotation. It also boasts a narrow footprint and a low 23 in (58 cm) tail swing, ideal for refined positioning work in confined environments. The platform comes in 6 ft (1.8 m) or 8 ft (2.4 m) with a capacity of 500 lb (227 kg) to take on board two people across the entire working envelope.  Both platforms offer a side entry swing gate and a front sliding midrail entry as standard. The 8 ft (2.4 m) platform comes with an additional side sliding midrail, opposite the gate, for a total of three entry points.

Focussing on productivity, this articulating boom features the Genie FastMast™ system that enables the boom to be moved from full height to below grade and back, shortening ground-to-top lifting time with the use of just one boom control. Among other features common to all Genie booms, the Z-60/37FE lift combines the time-saving benefits of full height drive ability and a dual parallelogram linkage design to enable operators to vertically track walls by simply raising or lowering the secondary boom without needing to re-position the machine.

Combining a low machine weight of 17,100 lb (7,756 kg) with the advantages of 26 ft 9 in (8.15 m) stowed length, the fuel-electric Genie Z-60/37FE articulating boom is also as easy to transport on a standard truck, as it is simple and smooth to operate.

The new Genie Z-60/37FE articulating boom is available globally.
