Genie Z-33/18

Boom lifts for UK market
Huntingdon, United Kingdom
Access Platform Sales (APS) will bring two new Genie boom lifts to the UK for the first time. It is the first UK company to order the Genie Z-33/18 lightweight compact electric boom and Genie Z-62/40.
The Z-33 is an all-electric, lightweight self-propelled articulated boom lift with 12 m (39 ft.) maximum working height and 4.3 m (14 ft.) of "up and over" clearance. With minimal tail swing, a tight turning radius and capable of passing through standard double doors, it is ideal for working indoors or outside. Weighing 3,640 kg (8,025 lb.), it is suitable for tasks on sensitive floors such as in airports, shopping centres and theatres.
The new Z-62 articulating boom lift replaces the Genie Z-60/34. Working height has increased from 20.4 m to 20.9 m (67 to 68 ft.) and the maximum horizontal outreach extends to 12.5 m (41 ft.) compared to 11.0 m (36 ft.) on the Z-60. Up-and-over clearance remains at 7.8 m (25.6 ft.), with a maximum lift capacity of 227 kg (500 lb.). Genie launched both products at APEX 2014 in Amsterdam.
