New & Improved Genie Z-45/25 Rough Terrain Boom New performance and service features for the next generation of Genie Z-45/25. The next generation of the Genie Z-45/25 rough terrain articulating boom lift combines the latest performance technology with new service features. The new Z-45/25 RT is currently in production and available to the ANSI market. The CE version of this newly designed model is slated for production in Italy in mid-2013. Key performance features include an updated drive system that produces 24 percent more tractive effort than the previous model, resulting in greater terrainability and provides true four wheel drive and four wheel braking. The Z-45/25 RT offers a maximum working height of 51 feet 10 inches and an up-and-over clearance of 23 feet, 5 inches. With a 500 pounds lift capacity, the unit is well equipped to position workers and tools exactly where they need to be. Compared to its predecessor, overall weight has been reduced by up to 1,100 pounds for jib models and 575 pounds for non-jib models, providing reduced floor loading and greater maneuverability and jobsite performance. The new Z-45/25 rough terrain boom lift also offers owners simplified serviceability and lower cost of ownership. Larger doors and swing out trays provide faster and easier access to the front and back of the engine compartment, as well as to filters and electrical components for faster maintenance and troubleshooting. Starting in April 2013, the Z-45/25 RT will be offered with new Tier 4 Final compliant engines from Deutz or Perkins, for applicable regions.

It is well suited for milling of joints, flush cutting, removing road markings and other jobs where defective asphalt or concrete surfaces are cut. Equipped with a Cummins B 3.3 engine and 60 hp motor power, the PL350TD mills 13.8 inches wide to a depth of 3.9 inches with a cutting diameter of 20.5 inches. With both a left and right steering angle of 75 degrees and a milling radius of only 3.9 inches, the PL350TD is specifically designed for flush milling of manhole covers, but it also makes it easy to maneuver in narrow construction sites with little effort, The PL350TD offers operator improvements such as speed control, a new instrument panel with waterproof switches and backlighting for night operation. There is an automatic mode for the conveyor belt and water spray bar, relieving the driver of constant repetitive movements. The automatic mode is activated during milling and turned off when the milling stops. The Easy Level system provides easy-to-use, accurate leveling during daily milling operations. Menu options are easy to read, and the four values of left, right, actual, and target are clearly displayed. Sensor selection is easy to find and clearly shown. Slope regulators, ultrasonic sensors and height sensors are controlled by the leveling system. The Easy Level system���s lift mode automatically elevates the machine to a pre-set value, reducing the number of steps to remove road markings or to drive over obstacles. Dynapac milling drum operations are free of vibrations, protecting the machine components over time. The PL350TD comes with standard milling drums designed with one cutting tool per line and three spirals. Other variations include a drum with larger tool spacing for more economical feeding. Fine and very fine milling drums with tool spacing of 3 mm or two cutting tools per line are available and work well for surface corrections. Exterior cutting wheels to cut grooves are also available.
