GENIE® Z-60/37DC Boom Takes Zero Emissions Operation Higher



Terex AWP introduces its first entirely all-electric Genie® Z-boom lift, which combines the benefits of quieter, environment-friendly operation with the 4-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 recharging capabilities that provides full charge from an 110 V wall power supply in under 14 hours, operators can use this machine every day.

“The Genie Z-60/37DC model is our first all-electric 20 m articulating boom. It shares a lot of similarities in terms of performance and components with our popular articulating Genie Z-62/40 boom model, and this is intentional,” says Adam Hailey, product manager, Terex AWP. “We thoughtfully designed this boom to take advantage of the strengths and history of our boom lift product line, to offer customers the right equation of maximized range of motion, real 4-wheel drive abilities, quiet performance, energy efficiency, jobsite versatility and cost effectiveness. Weighing more than 2,268 kg less than the Genie Z-62/40 lift, the new Genie Z-60/37DC boom enhances the efficiency of this zero emissions model’s electric system. This means that the Genie Z-60/37DC lift is able to do a full day’s work while accessing many indoor and outdoor work environments that other models cannot.”

Delivering 18 m of platform height, 11.15 m of horizontal outreach and 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 1.8 m or 2.4 m versions with a capacity of 227 kg to provide 2 people access to the entire working envelope. Both platforms offer a side entry swing gate and front sliding mid rail as standard. The 2.4 m platform comes with an additional side sliding mid rail opposite the gate, for a total of 3 entry points.

Another benefit of this new unit is its Genie FastMast system – an extremely efficient feature that enables the boom to be moved from full height to below grade and back with just one boom function. With the secondary fully elevated, the primary can reach all the way to the ground and then back to full height – the fastest way to 18 m. Drivable at full height, the Genie Z-60/37DC boom lift is also equipped with a dual parallel linkage design so operators can vertically track a building by simply raising or lowering the secondary boom.

As a result of its rugged 4-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 91 cm of water, it also is able to go 25% 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 20 m electric boom available in the market today. Combining a narrow footprint with the advantage of a low tail swing of just 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 7,530 kg with the advantages of a 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.
