The Genie telescopic S-85 XC boom can perform a broader range of heavier lifting tasks on construction and industrial job sites. The extra lift capacity enables three people to work from the boom with plenty of room for tools and materials. The Genie XC features automatic envelope control, which allows the telescopic boom the ability to automatically retract as it reaches its operating envelope, allowing for simple platform positioning and an enhanced operator’s experience.
