Accès Location d’Équipement Purchases First Genie^® SX-135XC™ Boom Lift

Accès Location d’Équipement, headquartered in Sainte-Julie, Quebec, will take delivery of the first new Genie^® SX-135XC™ self-propelled telescopic boom lift, a model designed to deliver industry-leading outreach and capacity throughout the full working envelope for incredible operational accessibility. This new telescopic boom is packed with features, including 27.43 m of outreach, 300 kg unrestricted lift capacity and the ability to work 6 m below grade, offering Accès Location customers the ability to work in more applications that require heavier load capacities.

“It is exciting to be the first distributor with the Genie SX-135XC boom available for rent,” says Harold Dubé, president, Accès Location. “Because of its heavy lift capability, we anticipate this lift will be popular with our customers working in siding, window and masonry applications, as well as on structural jobs. With its incredible below-grade reach, we also see a market opportunity with this machine in bridge inspections and work projects.”

Built to safely and quickly lift operators to full platform height – 41.15 m – in 2-1/2 minutes and drive enabled at full height, the Genie SX-135XC boom lift can position users exactly where they are needed. The Genie SX-135XC boom’s innovative design includes a working envelope ideal for the most extreme access jobs with a working height of 43.15 m and a horizontal reach of that is 3 m more than any other self-propelled boom available on the market.

The Genie Xtra Capacity™, or XC, nomenclature also lets Accès Location customers know that this new Genie boom complies with the overload restriction guidelines in the proposed CSA B354 (Canada) and ANSI A92 (U.S.) industry standards in North America. It includes a new low-maintenance load sense cell technology that monitors the weight on the platform and disables function if the load exceeds the platform load limit. And, this model offers a dual lift capacity with an unrestricted 300 kg and a restricted 454 kg, allowing up to 3 people onboard while still leaving room for tools and jobsite materials.

“With the upcoming CSA B354 standards changes going into effect in Canada in 2017, the load sensing feature on the Genie SX-135XC lift, combined with its dual lift capacity, will enable Accès Location customers the unparalleled ability to work at height safely while completing higher capacity jobs in a wider range of applications,” adds Mr. Dubé.
