The Genie Z-62/40
Articulating Boom
A compact and hardworking unit, the new
Genie Z-62/40 boom lift offers an outstanding
working envelope, vertical and horizontal reach,
manoeuvrability and servicing. It also provides
significant enhancements over the model it
replaces, the Genie Z-60/34.
The Genie Z-62/40 boom lift has a larger
working envelope than its predecessor. This will
help reduce rental companies’ inventory costs.
Weighing just 9,934kg (21,900lbs), it has zero
tail swing, and minimal front turntable tail
swing. Overall, the Genie Z-62/40 boom lift
stows to the compact size of 7.58m (24ft and
10.5in) with the jib tucked.
The Z-62/40 boom lift was designed with
serviceability in mind and has enhanced access
to electrical and hydraulic service points.
