To optimize value in terms of greater uptime and cost of ownership, Genie Industries has introduced newly redesigned versions of its S-80 and S-85 telescopic booms. The changes on these booms include: fixed-width axles; an exclusive virtual-pivot boom assembly; faster elevation time; improved software design for smoother, more comfortable operation; and intuitive operator and serviceability features.
The fixed-width axles on the redesigned S-80 and S-85 booms give the machines an 8-ft 2-in. total width, both on the trailer and the jobsite. They can be easily transported over the road without a special permit on a standard equipment trailer. Because the axles are fixed, the boom is ready to drive right off the trailer, maximizing productivity at the jobsite. The fixed-axle system improves the machine’s durability and efficiency, making serviceability easier and less costly by having fewer hydraulic components and moving parts.
