“Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, the
Genie Z-60/37 FE is driven by high-
efficiency AC motors and combines
advanced diesel power and four-wheel-
drive performance with the energy
efficiency and quieter operation of
compact, low-weight electric-powered
booms. It can travel 25% faster than other
typical diesel-powered units,” Brad said.
“The Genie Z-60/37 FE boom lift is a
revolutionary approach to our mid-size
Z-boom family and it adapts to our
customers’ increasing needs for high
performance, high efficiency and low
emissions.
“When operating in full-electric mode, the
Genie Z-60/37 FE boom lift offers a full
day of emission-free performance on a
single charge, and in hybrid mode it runs
for more than a week on a single tank of
diesel.
“In hybrid mode, an environmentally
friendly 24-hp diesel powered generator
constantly monitors the charge of the
48V DC battery pack, keeping it topped
up and then automatically shutting off to
minimise fuel consumption. In extreme
battery usage conditions or after heavy
full-electric operation, the hybrid power
system can provide a bulk charge in
around four hours,” he said.
“When an operator is climbing hills or
taking on rugged terrain, the hybrid
system can provide power directly to the
AC motors, combining the power of the
diesel-driven generator and the 48V DC
battery pack.
“On long-term jobs, even when on-site
power is not available, this machine is
versatile enough to handle tasks ranging
from work on rough and unprepared
ground to indoor applications where it’s
important to keep noise and emissions to
a minimum,” Brad said.
The Z-60/37 FE boom lift shares
the robust quality and rough terrain
performance that make the Genie Z-62/40
and S-60 boom lifts popular he said.
Boom lift delivers performance and energy
efficiency
Businesses using the fuel-electric Genie Z-60/37 FE articulating boom lift since its global
launch in April 2016 have been able to cut costs and their carbon footprint, while getting
increased performance and versatility from their aerial work platforms according to Brad
Lawrence, Genie General Manager, Terex AWP.
“Our Z-60/37 FE boom also offers
the advantage of being sufficiently
lightweight and compact to handle tasks
in confined spaces,” Brad said.
The Z-60/37 FE boom lift is equipped
with foam-filled, non-marking all-terrain
tyres, and offers 45% gradeability and
ground clearance of 33cm (1ft 1in) as well
as being able to travel 25% faster than
other typical diesel-powered units, the
company claims.
“Operators will also appreciate full-time
active oscillating axles that increase
wheel contact on irregular terrain and
its fully sealed AC motors which operate
even while submerged under 91cm (3ft)
of water.
“The Genie FastMast system enables
the boom to be moved from full height
to below grade and back, shortening
ground-to-top lifting time with the use
of just one boom control. Like all Genie
booms, it enables operators to vertically
track walls by simply raising or lowering
the secondary boom without needing to
re-position the machine.
“The fuel electric Genie Z-60/37 FE
articulating boom will be on display in
May at HIRE17 and will be available in
Australia in Quarter 2 2017,” Brad said.
The Genie Z-60/37 FE boom lift provides
20.16m of working height, 11.4m of
horizontal outreach and 7.4m of up-and-
over clearance. It is equipped with a 1.5m
jib offering 70° up and 65° down range
of motion and a 160° platform rotation. It
boasts a narrow footprint and a low 58cm
tail swing. The platform comes in widths
of 1.8m and 2.4m. The capacity is 227kg
and it can take on board two people
across the entire working envelope. A
side-entry swing gate and front sliding
mid rail are standard. The 2.4m platform
comes with an additional side sliding mid
rail, opposite the gate. With a weight of
7,530kg and a stowed length of 8m, it is
easily transported on a standard truck.
