Genie launches SX-105XC and SX-125XC

As we predicted back in September Genie will launch replacements for its current 105ft S-105 and 125ft S-125 telescopic boom lifts at Conexpo later today, with both now featuring the new mini X chassis.

The new models, the SX-105 XC and SX-125 XC are more than just a chassis change though, they also have the XC dual platform capacity of 300 and 454kg – with Genie’s new platform overload system reported on last week in the ARA review. They both feature an automatic operating envelope adjustment system, with the boom retracting smoothly when the platform reaches the extent of its range- for example when fully telescoped with the higher capacity, the boom will retract as it is lowered and approaches the minimum angle with that extension and capacity.

Both booms are equipped with Tier 4F/Stage IIIB diesels and a redesigned heavy-duty generator. The overall width of the two machines is 2.49 metres when retracted and 3.94 metres extended. The SX-125 was reviewed to some customers back in September in order to obtain feedback on the key design features.

The new Genie SX-125XC

Adam Hailey director of product marketing said: “Priced right, the new Genie SX-105 XC and SX-125 XC booms will be competitive in local markets while increasing customers’ ability to get more work done on every project. We packed them with performance-enhancing features, including 24.4 metres of outreach, the ability to work 2.7 metres below grade and a stable 3.94 x 4.11 metre operating footprint. We also kept our focus on operators’ needs by updating the machines’ user interface and designing simple, easy-to-use booms. These models are engineered to deliver a higher rental return on invested capital for our customers’ businesses.”

“The XC nomenclature also lets customers know that these new booms comply with the overload restriction guidelines in the proposed ANSI A92 and CSA B354 industry standards in North America, as well as the current European EN280 and Australian AS 1418.10 standards.”
