New all-electric articulating model for clean operation and quiet, powerful performance
REDMOND, WA (February 22, 2016) – Terex AWP introduces its first entirely all-electric Genie® Z™-boom lift, which combines the benefits of quieter, environment-friendly operation with the four-wheel drive performance of a traditional diesel-powered machine. Offering the advantages of zero emissions and full workday operation on just one charge, the new all-electric Genie Z-60/37DC boom is ideal for indoor and outdoor applications, such as industrial plants, malls, convention centers and construction sites. As a result of its fast re-charging capabilities that provides full charge from an 110V wall power supply in under 14 hours, operators can use this machine every day.
Delivering 59 ft 7 in (18 m) of platform 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-60/37DC boom lift offers the capabilities of a true articulating boom. Equipped with a jib that provides a high 70° up and 65° down range of motion, coupled with 160° of platform rotation, operators benefit from refined positioning power at the boom tip. The platform on this new all-electric articulating Genie boom machine is available in 6 ft (1.8 m) or 8 ft (2.4 m) versions with a capacity of 500 lb (227 kg) to provide two people access to the entire working envelope. Both platforms offer a side entry swing gate and front sliding mid rail as standard. The 8 ft (2.4 m) platform comes with an additional side sliding mid rail opposite the gate, for a total of three entry points.
As a result of its rugged four-wheel drive design, operators will appreciate the “go anywhere” capabilities of this quiet, zero-emissions articulating Genie boom. With fully sealed AC drive motors that can still perform while submerged up to 3 ft (91 cm) of water, it also is able to go 25 percent faster and climb slopes better than typical diesel-powered units. Engineered with a proven drive and oscillating axle system, the Genie Z-60/37DC boom lift performs similarly to other Genie rough-terrain machines, such as the popular Genie Z-62/40 and S™-60 boom lifts. It is equipped standard with all-terrain, non-marking tires that give operators the flexibility to work in interior and outdoor applications, making it one of the first machines on a jobsite — and one of the last to leave.
The Genie Z-60/37DC boom lift provides more performance in a compact unit than any other 66 ft (20 m) electric boom available in the market today. Combining a narrow footprint with the advantage of a low tail swing of just 23 in (58 cm) with the boom elevated, this new all-electric articulating Genie unit has what it takes to access confined areas on almost any jobsite. Combining a low machine weight of 16,600 lb (7,530 kg) with the advantages of a 26 ft 9 in (8 m) stowed length, the Genie Z-60/37DC articulating boom is also as easy to transport on a standard truck, as it is simple and smooth to operate.
The Genie Z-60/37DC articulating boom is available globally.
