PRESS RELEASE: Mine sites in Australia are regarded as being amongst the most severe work sites imaginable. Extreme heat, dust, torrential rain plus high humidity ensure that only the very best engineered aerial work platforms survive. Genie is a market leading global brand that is rapidly winning an ever growing band of advocates in the mining industry. Most relevant to the mining application are the range of Genie® boom and scissor lifts. 

PRESS RELEASE: The recent arrival of two new Genie® scissor lifts provides bold new solutions for customers who need reliable and safe access in high indoor spaces and those operating in a rough terrain, outdoor situation. The Genie® GS™-4047 and the Genie® GS™-4069 DC models have already generated significant enquiries with rental companies around Australia.

PRESS RELEASE: Genie® has established another world first with the release of the Genie® SX™-180 self propelled telescopic boom lift at the Bauma 2013 tradeshow in Munich Germany. At 54.9m, the Genie SX-180 is the largest boom lift of its kind in the world. This boom lift is suitable for applications in the oil and gas industries, commercial construction, industrial construction and maintenance, and general maintenance.

PRESS RELEASE: One of the best and most popular Genie® products in the Australian market, just got better with the introduction of the new Genie® ZX™-135/70 articulating boom.

Select Genie® boom lifts now feature extended replacement intervals for boom extend/retract cables.

Replacement of the boom extend/retract cables is essential to good machine performance and safe machine operation.
