Genie XC boom with welder package

Terex AWP has launched a new generation of boom lifts, the Xtra Capacity XC Series. All Genie XC booms combine the benefits of a dual-envelope design to provide an unrestricted range of motion with a platform capacity of 660 lb. (300 kg) and a restricted operating envelope capacity of 1,000 lb. (450 kg). To support additional weight on the platform, Genie XC booms are engineered with an updated boom structure that boasts increased performance, range of motion and envelope control, as well as a robust jib capable of easily handling the standard 1,000 lb. maximum capacity.

"Genie XC booms reduce the number of lift cycles as well as the amount of equipment operators will need to get tools and materials to work areas at height. Doing more with a single unit saves time and increases productivity," says Adam Hailey, Genie director of product management, Terex AWP.

The XC nomenclature also lets rental customers know that this new boom complies with the overload restriction guidelines in the proposed ANSI A92 and CSA B354 industry standards in North America, as well as the current European EN280 and Australian AS 1418.10 standards.

To increase performance, decrease set-up time and improve overall productivity, all Genie XC models have the ability to do zero-load field calibration. The new Genie booms are equipped with a load sense cell that continuously checks the weight in the platform and adjusts the envelope to match the load chart. A tilt sensor also gives users access to different ranges of motion based on the machine's rated slope limit (on certain machines even on extreme angles), maximising the ability to access even the most hard-to-reach work areas.

Hailey also notes that the new Genie XC booms share commonality with all Genie products in design, parts, and accessories, as well as serviceability benefits, including easy access to crucial service points.
