Genie ZX-135/70: A new standard for boom lifts

Genie announces its new ZX-135/70 Boom Lift which offers the latest advancements in design and technology.

The ZX features a mini XChassis axle that extends and retracts to and from the stowed position at two-thirds the footprint of the full-size versio. It meets overload restriction guidelines in the proposed ANSI A92 and CSA R354 industry standards in North America, as well as European EN280 and Australian AS 1418.10 standards. It is euipped with a new load-sense cell technology that shuts off drive, steer and certain boom functions if the load exceeds the 600-pound platform capacity.

Calibration points of the ZX have been reduced to two and calibration time to 15 minutes. The lift has a maximum height of 135 feet, horizontal reach of 69 feet, 9 inches and an up-and-over clearance of 75 feet. The telescoping jib can extend from 12 feet retracted to 20 feet. It has a 360-degree continuous rotation turntable, 160-degree platform rotation and 110-degree vertical range.

The ZX-135/70 comes with four-wheel drive with full-time positive traction, four-wheel steer with front-wheel, rear-wheel, crab and coordinated-steer options. Also in offer are a choice of hydraulically driven generators.

The control system comes with menu-based adjustments and on-screen system diagnostics. Platform controls consist of toggle switches and Hall-effect joysticks.
