YEAR XII • N. 115 Apr/May/Jun 2013 THE HIGHEST TELESCOPIC BOOM IN THE WORLD TFD LANDED SOLUTIONS IN PORTONOVE PORT TERMINAL AERIAL WORK PLATFORMS THE HIGHEST OF THE WORLD MARKET During Bauma 2013, Genie presented the highest telescopic boom of the world, SX-180, which has vertical range of 54.9 meters B reaking through all industry records at 54.9m (180 ft), the revolutionary new Genie ® SX180 self-propelled telescopic boom lift was introduced today at the bauma 2013 tradeshow in Munich, Germany. The largest of its kind in the market, the boom lift is suited for applications in the oil and gas industries, commercial construction, industrial construction and maintenance, and general maintenance. The SX-180 may be seen publicly for the first time by visiting stand F7 – 710/711. The Genie SX-180 is designed to be productive, reliable and easy to transport. “Customers are always looking for new and innovative ways to carry out their work more efficiently and more effectively. In concert with customer input, our engineers have been able to reach new heights for this next GENIE SX-180: IDEAL PLATFORM FOR THE HARDEST ACCESS 02 generation of Genie telescopic boom lifts,” said Scott Krieger, Senior Product Manager, Booms and Telehandlers, Terex Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). “We have pushed the limits of innovation in the aerial industry by successfully producing results beyond expectations.” The Genie SX-180 is built to safely and quickly lift operators higher than any previously offered self-propelled boom lift. With a 54.9 meter (180 ft) vertical reach and 24.4 meter (80 ft) horizontal reach, the Genie SX-180 provides a working envelope ideal for the most extreme access jobs. The 2.44m (8 ft) by 0.91 m (3 ft) platform has an unrestricted capacity of 340 kg (750 lb). The 3.05 m (10 ft), 180 degree, rotating jib positions workers and gear exactly where they are needed. The machine is designed to be driven at full height. Travel speeds vary based on boom position and range from 4.02 km/h (2.5 mph) with the boom in the stowed position, 0.65 km/h (0.4 mph) below 38.1 m (125 ft) and 0.17 km/hr (0.1 mph) above 38.1 m (125 ft). The newly designed X-chassis extends and retracts to provide both stability on the job and a narrow profile for transport. The boom lift’s stowed dimensions are 3.05m (10 ft) in height and 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) wide. With a stowed length of 12.98 m (42 ft 7 in), the 24,494 kg (54,000 lbs) machine requires no over width or over height permits allowing it to be easily transported on a truck. “This X-chassis design is also used on our new Genie® ZX™-135 articulating boom introduced earlier this year,” said Krieger. “This allows our big booms to share many design features providing parts and operating commonality.” The Genie SX-180 is designed with reliability and serviceability in mind. There is easy access to important sys- GENIE TAKING YOU HIGHER AT BAUMA tems and components, robust hose and harness routings and access to slew bearing bolts from topside. The rotating jib offers a robust slew bearing and worm drive arrangement. New platform controls consist of toggle switches and fully proportional jib and boom controls. The ground controls offer an updated function diagram layout and tactile membrane switches. Customers may choose from either a Deutz or Perkins engine. A 50 gallon fuel tank for longer run time and a 7.5 KW generator are standard equipment. Worldwide availability will begin in the second half of 2013. ■ Two Electric Scissor Lifts showed that Genie is further elevating the standard technological market G enie® branded products, manufactured by Terex AWP, will be “taking you higher” at this year’s Bauma show by enabling customers to reach new heights. The display will introduce several new products and feature a special service corner highlighting how Terex AWP adds value to customers by providing new after sales service solutions, updated website services, and new training, parts and financing solutions. For zero-emissions operation, Terex AWP will also exhibit two new electric scissors, the Genie ® GS™-4047 and GS™-3369DC. The GS™-3369 DC Genie ® electric Scissor Lift with 12 m working height, will be on display. It is equipped as standard with the patented full-time oscillating axle that automatically adjusts the axle position to match the ground conditions, regardless of the scissor’s elevation, as well as with the optional automatic leveling hydraulic outriggers. Designed to meet the needs of indoor and outdoor construction jobs, this new GS™-69 DC series is bringing rough terrain ability and full height driving capability to the electric drive scissor market. The innovative approach sees the adoption of its highly-efficient and zero emission AC drive system to rough terrain scissor lifts thanks to the patented full-time oscillating axle. From the current range, the long awaited and recently released, new generation European GS™-4047 compact electric slab scissor lift with 14 m working height will be exhibited. Manufactured at the Terex facility in Coventry, UK, the Genie ® GS™-4047 allows the operator to reach a height of almost 14 m (45 ft) in under 70 seconds, provides a comfortable platform with a 91 cm extension deck, and can reposition the vehicle at its full working height. ■ 03 TEREX UTILITIES TRAINING AT FURNAS Terex performs at Marimbondo Hidroeletric Plant, another action training to help their customers get the best from your equipment T erex sponsored theoretical and hands-on training on the 230 kV to 500 kV mobile switch at the Furnas electric power utility.
