During the year 1966, Bud Bushnell founded Genie Industries. During that time, he purchased the manufacturing rights to a material lift that operated on compressed air. The name Genie originated from the "magic in the bottle" that was utilized to raise and lower the hoist. This device really impressed clients and hence, the name was established.
Genie expanded operations and established itself into different new markets, as the need for work lifts and platforms grew. Over time, as the demand for new equipment to meet many applications grew, the company made itself recognized in many new markets. Like for example, Genie went into manufacturing articulated booms, light towers, man-lifts, telehandlers and stick booms.
Genie decided to acquire a partner who held the same values because of the economic slump in the beginning of the 2000s, when they partnered together with Terex. This company has a history obtaining machine manufacturers across the globe who proved to be a good business match. Genie Industries was sold during the year 2002 and became a part of Terex Corporation.
Because of the Genie name and its solid reputation within the workplace, it was determined to maintain the Genie brand as part of the Terex Aerial Work Platforms. This was just decided after the initial few years following the sale. Therefore, all Genie machines continue to be marketed under the Genie brand name.
The company takes great pride in listening and taking advise from their clients. Genie has always been continually devoted to improving the quality and efficiency in addition to lessening wastes. Even long after the sale has been closed, the company concentrates on providing outstanding support. These are the very work practices that have made Genie a trusted brand over the past decades and continue to keep their reputation for top-of-the-line and quality machines.
The DC and Bi-Energy machines provided by Genie offers quiet operation, emission-free even in the most delicate work settings. Where the machine has to be driven significant distances, like in industrial situations, the Genie bi-energy system combines the power of a diesel-powered generator together with the benefits of a 48V DC machinery.
As opposed to any of the various kinds of aerial platforms, telescopic booms offer greater horizontal reach overall. These machinery are great for limited access places in construction and other industrial environments. The Genie Telescopic S booms have been designed to offer utmost productivity. These equipment provide the drive speed and supreme traction you require to be able to travel around the work site and job area.
