ACCESS in ACTION

“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.
