Lifting heavy loads with aerial work platforms that have all-terrain tires can cause damage to soft ground like sand and turf.
To address that problem, Genie has introduced two new high-float telescopic boom lifts, the S-80 HF and S-85 HF, that are deigned to “float” on soft, delicate surfaces, the company says.
Despite the added protection for soft ground, the new HF models boast an unrestricted lifting capacity of 600 pounds and restricted capacity of 1,000 pounds. Their platforms, with side swing gates, can hold up to three people, along with tools and materials. Platform options are 6 feet with dual-entry or an 8-foot tri-entry platform.
