EQUIPMENT GUIDE to 2018 – ACCESS The Genie Z-60/37 FE fuel-electric boom offers operators two machines in one package for indoor and outdoor applications, while providing lower cost of operation and cleaner performance, Brad Lawrence, Genie General Manager, Terex AWP said. “Driven by high-efficiency AC motors the Genie Z-60/37 FE boom lift 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,” Brad said. When 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, runs for more than a week on a single tank of diesel.

The Genie Z-60/37 FE boom lift provides 20.16m of working height, 11.15m of horizontal outreach and 7.39m of up-and- over clearance. It is equipped with a 1.52m jib offering 70° up and 65° down range of motion and a 160° platform rotation. It boasts a narrow footprint and a low 58 cm tail swing (riser up). 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 7,686kg and a stowed length of 8.15m, it is easily transported on a standard truck.

The 2714 Spider Lift offers greater height (27m) and outreach (14.4m), and increased work area and ability to reach into harder to access locations, Ben said. “Even with this extra reach, this is still an amazingly compact machine, stowing to 6m in length and only 890mm in width. That is even narrower than the 2210 Spider Lift,” Ben said. As per the smaller Spider Lifts from Monitor, the tracks are expandable to provide superior stability and ground clearance on uneven terrain. “Like the 2210 Spider, the stabiliser Spider Lift versatility is big selling point The first three of Monitor Lifts’ new 27m 2714 Spider Lift have been sold in line with market demand for compact and light access platforms with very high operational performance, Ben Joyce, General Manager at Monitor Lifts said. legs on the 2714 Spider have variable positions which allow it to be set up in difficult confined locations, and provide the maximum outreach possible from the setting required for its position. Full 360° rotation can still be achieved with all outriggers set in the narrow position,” he said. Radio control operation, 230kg SWL, non-marking tracks, lithium battery system for indoor use, fast drive speed, quick setup with auto level, simultaneous boom movements, ‘go-home’ auto stow function and the smooth controls are all included features. The 2210 has had a strong following in Australia and NZ for many years. With the ability to reach up 22m and out horizontally 10m, this very compact machine can also drive down narrow paths, fit under carports, work on slopes, and traverse tough terrain. “This is why Spider Lifts have become so popular in Australasia; they are the most versatile aerial device conceived. And they afford the contractor with greatly reduced labour costs and improved operational safety. “Transportability is another big feature of Spider Lifts. Spiders up to 18m tall can be set up on a 3.2t GVM package, and amazingly the Monitor 2210 can still be towed on a 4.5t GVM trailer.” Contact: 1800 025 024 or visit website: www.monitor.net.au 63 HIRE AND RENTAL NEWS • FEBRUARY 2018 The Genie Z-60/37 FE fuel-electric boom offers significant savings
