New & Improved World's Largest Self-Propelled Boom Lift by Genie The new Genie SX-180 claims to be the world's largest self-propelled lift. The lengthy 180-foot machine is designed to be productive, reliable and easy to transport. Travel speeds vary based on boom position and range from 2.5 mph with the boom in the stowed position, 0.4 mph below 125 foot, and 0.1 mph above 125 foot. It is designed to be driven at full height. Providing a working envelope ideal for the most extreme access jobs, the 8 foot by 3 foot platform has an unrestricted capacity of 750 pounds. The 10-foot, 180 degree, rotating jib positions workers and gear exactly where they are needed. New platform controls consist of toggle switches and fully proportional jib and boom controls. The ground controls offer an updated function diagram layout and tactile membrane switches. Customers may choose from either a Deutz or Perkins engine. A 50-gallon fuel tank for longer run time and a 7.5 KW generator are standard. Designed with reliability and serviceability in mind, the SX-180 offers easy access to important systems and components, robust hose and harness routings and access to slew bearing bolts from topside. The rotating jib offers a robust slew bearing and worm drive arrangement. Units will be available worldwide in the second half of 2013.
