UGL Kentz JV is responsible for
the engineering, procurement and
construction of the onshore facilities at
Ichthys, including the gas processing
plant at Blaydin Point.
The engineering firm, which regularly
reviews its EWP operator training,
determined a round of training prevention
would safeguard its fleet in Darwin. It
appointed Genie to deliver its Genie Lift
Pro operator training program, to
60 operators working on site at Ichthys.
“We considered the length of training
we were doing on machines, such as the
Genie ZX-135 boom lift, and we thought
it was pretty constant,” Mike Tuckerman,
HSES Manager, UGL Kentz Ichthys MEC-
1 Project Darwin said.
“We have our own high-risk trainers,
but it was fantastic to have the subject
experts from Genie on site. We put
everyone qualified to operate a Genie ZX-
135 or Genie SX-180 boom lift through
the training and feedback was excellent.”
Mike said Genie Lift Pro training
improved operator skill levels and will
minimise asset damage.
“The more we build on the site, the more
restricted becomes the space the EWPs

must operate within,” he
said.
“Before the training, we
were sometimes bumping
safety baskets against some
of the assets. This isn’t
happening anymore. There is
also less machine downtime
and improved productivity.”
The professionalism and
service delivered by Genie
was world-class, Mike said,
who authorised Genie Lift
Pro training for another 190
operators at the Darwin site.
“You want this sort of
partnership with your
stakeholders on such a mega project
as Ichthys. It really was a preventative
action, which has taken our training to
the next level,” Mike said.
The on site tuition was led by Mal
McIntosh, Quality, Genie Training and
Technical Support Manager Asia Pacific,
Terex AWP Australia,.
“The training was four hours, yet some
of the operators considered they had
received the equivalent of a day’s worth
of knowledge and training,” Mal said.
The face-to-face training provided
McIntosh with valuable insights into the
safety measures used by some operators
to operate the Genie ZX-135 boom lifts.
“Through Genie Lift Pro training, we aim
to promote a wider understanding of the
safety processes built into our machines
and ensure the normal operational
functions become second nature to
operators. We also want to make sure
operators are not getting into situations
that could be avoided,” Mal said.

The new 22m spider is suited for use on
load-sensitive surfaces. With maximum
working height of 21.7m, maximum
platform height of 19.7m and maximum
horizontal reach of 10.3m, the 2210 stows
very neatly down to just under 6m in
length and just over 2m high, making it a
very versatile and convenient lift.
A new, strong tilt-bed trailer has been
designed for the 2210 and the combined
weight is under 4.5tonnes while the tri-
axle design provides excellent handling.
All 2210's are powered with a Kubota
diesel engine and dual power is provided
with either a 240volt electric motor, or
an on-board battery system. The dual
powered 2210 is brilliant where outreach
is required in confined indoor locations.
Monitor's 2210 has excellent up-and-
over reach with modern double knuckle
technology, and adjustable fly-jib for
extra manoeuvrability. The 2210 also has
the unique ability to rotate
360 degrees even when the
stabiliser legs are set in their
narrow position.
With the basket very easily
removed and the tracks in
the narrow position, the 2210
allows for smooth and easy
doorway access. The radio
controlled feature allows all
functions to be controlled
from the basket (or from any
other position). This includes
driving, setting the stabiliser
