Driven by high-efficiency AC motors, the new Genie Z-60/37 FE boom lift provides two modes of operation: full-electric or hybrid. Introduced at Bauma last week, the machine can run a full week on a tank of diesel in the hybrid mode. In full-electric it has enough power to run for a day.
A 24-horsepower, Tier 4 Final engine drives the unit in the hybrid phase and charges a 48-volt battery system. When the batteries are exhausted, a bulk charge operation using the diesel engine can bring them back to full charge within about four hours.
The boom lift can climb grades as steep as 45 percent. Foam-filled, all terrain tires come standard on the new boom lift, and you can order non-marking tires as an option. Oscillating axles maintain good ground contact and the fully sealed AC motors will continue to function even when submerged under three feet of water.
The Genie Z-60/37 FE has a working height of 65 feet, 7 inches with a horizontal outreach of 36 feet, 7 inches, and up-and-over clearance of 24 feet, 3 inches. A standard five-foot jib offers 70 degrees up and 65 degrees down range of motion. The platform will rotate 160 degrees and hold up to 500 pounds.
A 23-inch tail swing on the body of the machine helps you work in tight spaces. Genie’s FastMast system moves the boom from full height to below grade and back, shortening ground-to-top lifting time with the use of just one boom control.
