Z-45/25J, Z-45/25 specifications

The Genie Z-45/25 and Z-45/25J are cutting-edge articulating boom lifts designed for versatility, efficiency, and performance in various applications. These machines are essential for reaching elevated work sites, providing operators with the ability to access hard-to-reach areas while ensuring safety and stability.

One of the standout features of the Genie Z-45/25 is its impressive working height, reaching up to 51 feet (15.7 meters), along with a horizontal reach of 25 feet (7.6 meters). The Z-45/25J variant offers similar height capabilities while introducing a new level of flexibility with its J-style arm design, allowing for enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces. This is particularly useful in urban environments or areas with overhead obstacles, where traditional lifts may struggle to maximize their reach.

Both models are equipped with a powerful diesel engine that provides the necessary torque and power for outdoor applications, making them ideal for construction sites, maintenance jobs, and other demanding tasks. The reliable engine is complemented by a hydraulic system that delivers smooth operation and responsive control, ensuring that operators can maneuver the boom with precision.

Safety is a paramount concern in aerial lift design, and the Genie Z-45/25 and Z-45/25J exceed industry standards. They feature intuitive operator controls, built-in safety features such as automatic platform leveling, and an anti-bounce system that helps prevent sudden, unexpected movements. Additionally, these models provide operators with a spacious platform that can safely accommodate multiple workers along with their tools and equipment.

The Genie Z-45/25 and Z-45/25J also incorporate advanced technologies, such as the Genie Smart Link system, which enhances communication between the machine and the operator, providing real-time updates on machine status and maintenance needs. This feature contributes to increased uptime and reduced operating costs.

With robust construction and high-quality materials, these boom lifts are designed to withstand harsh environments, ensuring long-term durability and reliability. Their compact size and 4-wheel drive capability allow for easy transport and maneuvering on rough terrain, making them ideal for a variety of job sites.

In summary, the Genie Z-45/25 and Z-45/25J articulating boom lifts represent a blend of advanced technology, high safety standards, and exceptional performance. They are engineered to meet the diverse needs of operators while providing access to challenging work areas, thus ensuring that projects can be completed safely and efficiently.
