Eliminating the need for customers to manage two separate fleets of machines ? one for indoors, one for outdoors ? the new Genie? Z?-45 FE hybrid articulating boom lift responds to increased demand worldwide for versatile and cost-effective ?green? access solutions in the 52 ft (16 m) range. And, designed with productivity in mind, the new hybrid Genie Z-45 FE boom features an unrestricted range of motion and a maximum lift capacity of 660 lb (300 kg).

?With two modes of operation (all-electric or hybrid), the Genie Z-45 FE boom offers rental companies a versatile, sustainable and powerful ?2-in-1? solution adapted to indoor, as well as outdoor applications, even where on-site electric power is not available,? said Marie Engstrom, Genie Product Manager, Terex AWP. ?And with its robust lift capacity, operators can to take up 30 per cent more materials in the platform for increased productivity as compared to other hybrid machines in this height range. These features translate to additional jobsite utilisation and longer rental opportunities.?
