Big Genies for Lindig

German rental company Lindig Fördertechnik has taken delivery of two Genie boom lifts, an 85ft S-85 XC and an 135ft SX-135 XC.

The S-85 XC offers a maximum working height of 27.9 metres and a maximum capacity of 454kg at up to around 20 metres outreach, or a 300kg unrestricted outreach of 22.7 metres. The SX-135 XC offers a working height of 43.15 metres and a maximum capacity of 454kg at around 24 metres of outreach, whilst unrestricted capacity is 300kg at an outreach of 27.4 metres.

The S-85 XC is handed over

Aerial work platform manager Christina Eckenfelder said: “We attach great importance to offering our customers a modern, state of the art fleet and are particularly confident in the reliability and capabilities of Genie articulating and telescopic boom lifts. The overall economical situation in Germany is excellent and rental demand in our region is strong. However, these days 227kg capacity is simply not enough for many applications, which is why we decided to update our fleet with the Genie XC boom lifts. We have found that customer demand for higher load capacity is increasing, especially 300kg across the full working envelope. Our new Genie S-85 XC was rented out as soon as it was delivered, and we are expecting utilisation to be high.”

“Above all, the primary reason for choosing Genie is for our customers. When they need an articulating or telescopic boom lift, they know that in most cases with Lindig they will be renting a Genie. This means that they are ready to set to work confidently and rapidly, which is a real advantage for end users. I am fully convinced that the Genie XC concept is a wise choice that will contribute to taking our business to the next level.”
