Transport and Lifting Instructions

Observe and Obey:

Genie Industries provides this securement information as a recommendation. Drivers are solely responsible for making sure machines are properly secured and the correct trailer is selected pursuant to US Department of Transportation regulations, other localized regulations, and their company policy.

Genie customers needing to containerize any lift or Genie product should source a qualified freight forwarder with expertise in preparing, loading and securing construction and lifting equipment for international shipment.

Be sure the turntable is secured with the turntable rotation lock before transporting. Be sure to unlock the turntable for operation.

Do not drive the machine on a slope that exceeds the slope or side slope rating. See Driving on a Slope in the Operating Instructions section.

If the slope of the transport vehicle bed exceeds the uphill or downhill maximum slope rating, the machine must be loaded and unloaded using a winch as described. See the Specifications section for the slope ratings.

Free-wheel Configuration for Winching

Chock the wheels to prevent the machine

Only qualified aerial lift operators should move

from rolling.

Disengage

the machine on or off the truck.

The transport vehicle must be parked on a level surface.

The transport vehicle must be secured to prevent rolling while the machine is being loaded.

Be sure the vehicle capacity, loading surfaces and chains or straps are sufficient to withstand the machine weight. Genie lifts are very heavy relative to their size. See the serial plate for the machine weight. See the Decals section for the serial plate location.

2WD models: Release the non-steer

wheel brakes by

turning over the driveEngage hub disconnect caps.

4WD models: Release the wheel brakes by turning over all four drive hub disconnect caps.

Be sure the winch line is properly secured to the drive chassis tie points and the path is clear of all obstruction.

Reverse the procedures described to re-engage the brakes.

Note: The pump free-wheel valve should always remain closed.

Note: Towing the Genie Z-60/34 is not recommended. If the machine must be towed, do not exceed 2 mph / 3.2km/h.

Z-60, Z-34 specifications

The Genie Z-60 and Z-34 are two of the standout models in Genie’s line of articulating boom lifts, designed for versatility, efficiency, and superior performance. Both models cater to a wide range of applications, from construction and maintenance to industrial and municipal use, ensuring they can meet diverse operational needs.

Starting with the Genie Z-60, this model features a remarkable working height of up to 66 feet and a horizontal outreach of 44 feet. Its impressive lifting capacity of 500 pounds allows for the transport of heavy tools and personnel, making it ideal for tasks that require both reach and strength. The Z-60 is equipped with a proven hydraulic lift system, ensuring smooth operation and reliability. The machine’s tight turning radius enhances maneuverability, allowing it to navigate through congested job sites with ease.

The Genie Z-34, on the other hand, offers a more compact solution with a maximum working height of 40 feet and a horizontal outreach of 21 feet. While it has a slightly lower lifting capacity compared to the Z-60, at 500 pounds, its smaller size allows for access to tighter spaces. The Z-34 is powered by a potent electric drive, making it an excellent choice for indoor applications and noise-sensitive environments.

One of the key features of both models is their advanced articulating boom design, which provides flexible positioning and the ability to reach over obstacles, making them highly effective for complex tasks. The telescopic boom arm allows for greater vertical reach and the ability to position the platform exactly where it's needed. Safety is paramount in the design of both boom lifts, with features such as dual circuit hydraulic systems and standard operator presence sensing systems to ensure worker protection.

Both models come with Genie’s exclusive Active Slope Sense™ technology, which automatically detects the grade angle of the work surface and adjusts the machine's performance accordingly. This feature enhances stability and ensures operators can work safely on varied terrain.

With easy-to-use controls and a compact design, the Genie Z-60 and Z-34 offer reliable solutions for professionals looking to optimize their lifting capabilities while ensuring safety and efficiency. Whether on a construction site, in a warehouse, or at a municipal facility, these boom lifts deliver performance and reliability to meet modern-day challenges. Their combination of innovative technology and robust engineering makes them essential tools in today’s mechanized work environment.
