Genie telescopic S-booms have a horizontal reach of between 9.65 meters and 24.38 meters and working heights of 14.20 meters to 40.15 meters. Compared with various other aerial work platforms, telescoping booms have a a range of horizontal reach that is much greater. Genie telescopic booms are designed with consideration to being able to access tight areas during construction and industrial jobs. They are also known for their ability to quickly maneuver through a job site with great drive speed and traction. The platform hydraulically turns 160�° and is able to stay level through the whole range. Front-entry platforms are available from 1.83 meters to 2.44 meters and come with 227 kilogram to 272 kilogram capacity for operators and tools. Continuous, 360�° rotating turntables provide easy, quick positioning for operators.
The Z-135/70 unit has a telescoping jib, called the Jib-Extend, which goes from 3.66 meters to 6.1 meters. This specific unit could also reach 110�° vertically to give the user the ability to reach tasks which were inaccessible by conventional jibs before. The Z-80/60 model's secondary reverse-articulating boom gives the user 8.83 meters of over and up reach. This specific feature allows over and up reaching jobs to be completed with zero front arm swing.
Genie also provides the Fast Mast system that allows for precious time to be saved when both primary and secondary booms have to be lifted or for lowering the platform without having to lower the secondary boom. The Fast Mast system enables both booms to be fully elevated simultaneously. Both of these features of the Genie Fast Mast system lessens the time required for users to ascend and descend, increasing effectiveness and production.
