Newark, UK (24th July 2024) – During Vertikal Days 2024, Workplatform Ltd., Genie® Authorised Distributor, and Genie will showcase Genie scissor and boom lifts that provide their customers with quality, productive solutions for work at height. Teams from powered access specialist Workplatform and Genie will be available to discuss new equipment sales, aftermarket support and service packages at Booth #409 September 11-12, 2024 at the Newark Showground in Nottinghamshire, UK.

Clean, Robust Electric & Hybrid Equipment

Among the electric or hybrid models on display at the show are the popular Z®-45 FE hybrid articulating boom lift and the GS™-1932m micro scissor lift with Genie’s electric AC E-Drive drive motors.

With two modes of operation (electric or hybrid), FE boom lifts are versatile, sustainable solutions that adapt to indoor and outdoor applications, even where on-site electric power is not available. In electric mode, FE booms can work a full shift on a single battery charge; in hybrid mode, they can run for more than a week on a single tank of diesel fuel.

The IP67-sealed motors in Genie micro scissors, including the GS-1932m micro scissor lift, provide similar torque as hydraulic drive motors while using 30-40% less energy. They also significantly prolong battery charge while reducing operating and maintenance costs. With a compact footprint and zerodegree inside turning radius, the GS-1932m is a popular and productive choice for low-level installation and maintenance tasks in tight spaces.

High Productivity for Jobsites

With a broad portfolio, Genie’s equipment solutions offer contractors versatility for matching the equipment to the task. Among the other MEWPs on display are:

• Z-30/20 N RJ narrow articulating boom with rotating jib. This model gives operators the flexibility to work close to buildings, in confined spaces or around obstacles. It is a quiet, emission-free, cost-effective solution ideal for sensitive, congested and urban jobsites.

• Z-62/40, a popular boom with a working height of 20 m and field-proven, rough terrain capabilities that provide lifting versatility.

• GS-1932 and GS-4046 slab scissor lifts. All Genie slab scissor lifts feature AC electric E-Drive systems. These low-maintenance machines feature brushless, fully sealed AC drive motors and 70% fewer hydraulic hoses and fittings, and deliver exceptional performance, helping rental companies reduce their total cost of ownership.

• GS-3369 RT, a rough-terrain scissor lift model that delivers extra-rugged performance on uneven, rough terrain jobsites. With the ability to drive at a full height of 11.96 m, 35% gradeability and patented, full-time oscillating axles, the GS-3369 RT is a popular option to increase operator productivity in the most demanding environments.

• SLA™-10, SLA-15, and SLA-25 lifts. The Genie Superlift® Advantage product line features sturdy, manually operated material lifts that increase productivity and value. Compatible with a range of material handling attachments, the lightweight material lifts fit through a standard, single doorway.
