The S booms at a glance
Genie’s S booms are telescopic boom lifts: the boom extends in a straight line, giving long horizontal reach from a single set-up. The models on this page run from 15.56 m working height on the S-45 XC to 26.51 m on the S-80 J. All four are diesel, climb a 45% slope when stowed and are rated to work outdoors in winds up to 12.5 m/s.

What they are used for
S booms work on construction and industrial sites and in maintenance, inspection and painting. The XC models take the heavier lift tasks on those sites.
Checking a used boom
Our engineers inspect every used boom before it is sold. Check the hydraulic hoses and cylinders, wear pads, tyres and wheels (or tracks, sprockets and idlers on TraX machines), the turntable and drive hubs, and welds and structure for cracks or heavy corrosion. The platform load sensing and the tilt alarm should both work. Ask us for the machine’s hours and service history.
Supply, hire and training
As an authorised Genie dealer we supply new S booms to order, and our engineers service and examine them. Boom lifts are available on hire and lease; ask us which models are available now. We run cherry picker training at our centres and on customers’ sites.
Tell us the load, the lift height and the site, and we will say which S booms fits, new, used or on hire.
