Genie introduces new hybrid boom lift at bauma 2019

At the bauma 2019, Genie has introduced the Genie? Z?-45 FE hybrid articulating boom lift. Following increased demand for sustainable access solutions ? in the 16 m (52 ft) range in the Europe, Middle East, Africa and Russia region (EMEAR), this new model is manufactured in Umbertide, Italy, and will be available across the region in early 2020.Designed using the same hybrid technology as its higher lifting Genie Z-60 FE (formerly Z-60/37 FE) sister model, the new Genie Z-45 FE boom lift offers a maximum working height of 15.92 m (51 ft 8 in) a maximum horizontal outreach of 6.94 m (22 ft 9 in), a maximum up-and-over reach of 7.50 m (24 ft 7 in) and a 300 kg (660 lb) maximum lift capacity in the 16 m (52 ft) hybrid boom lift class. As a result of its highly versatile, low emissions, energy-saving and low maintenance 4WD operation, this new machine combines the benefits of high rental returns on invested capital (rROIC) with the ability to work in virtually any jobsite environment, indoors and out.

?Across our extensive portfolio, the 16 m (52 ft) range is where customer demand is the highest. Today, the new hybrid Genie Z-45 FE boom lift offers the ultimate combination of environmentally conscious hybrid efficiency, exceptional 4WD diesel-like performance with the highly popular working height that our customers and their end-users are looking for. But, this is not all,? says Zach Gilmor, Genie Product Manager, Terex AWP, EMEAR.

He continues, ?With productivity in mind, the new hybrid Genie Z-45 FE boom notably features a class-leading unrestricted maximum lift capacity of 300 kg (660 lb), allowing operators to take up 30 per cent more materials on the platform as compared to other hybrid machines in this height range.?
