GET, LLC is so very
proud to be a part of the Terex/Genie Family.
While our TZ-50 has been pretty busy as of late, the news of a product
almost three-and-a-half times that of ours has us pretty excited for the future
of the aerial lift industry and our place in it.
The latest announcement on the world's
largest boom seem to show that business is growing and if your job requires to
get to a certain height, then Terex can get you there.
In Munich, Germany Terex unveiled the SX-180. The Genie SX-180 is a self-propelled telescopic boom
for use in the oil and gas industries, commercial construction, industrial
construction and maintenance, and general maintenance.
“Customers are always
looking for new and innovative ways to carry out their work more efficiently
and more effectively," said Terex AWP Senior Product Manager Scott
Krieger. "In concert with customer
input, our engineers have been able to reach new heights for this next
generation of Genie telescopic boom lifts."
With its 54.9 m (180
ft) vertical reach and 24.4 m (80 ft) horizontal reach, the Genie SX-180
provides a 2.44 m (8 ft) x 0.91 m (3 ft) platform and has an unrestricted capacity
of 340 kg (750 lb).
Take it one step
furhter, the SX-180 is designed to be driven at full height. The speeds range
from .4 mph open at 125 feet to fully stowed at 2.5 mph-I say be safer that
sorry!
More importantly, why
GET LLC like it is the newly designed X-chassis that extends and retracts to
provide stability on the job and a narrow profile for transport. The boom
lift’s stowed dimensions are 3.05m (10 ft) height and 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) wide.
With a stowed length of 12.98 m (42 ft, 7 in).
It is a machine that weighs 54,000 lbs and requires no over width or
over height permits allowing it to be easily transported on a truck.
