Advantages and What These Features Mean for You

• Articulating boom design: The Genie Z80/60 is an articulating boom lift, meaning it uses multiple boom sections and joints to help the platform go up and over obstacles. On crowded or obstructed jobsites—think steel, piping, conveyors, parapets, and overhangs—articulation gives you positioning control that straight telescopic booms can’t match.
• Deutz diesel power: Deutz diesel engines are respected for dependable starts, long service life, and widely available parts. In practice, that translates to fewer downtime surprises and easier maintenance planning—key for contractors who rely on uptime to hit schedule and budget.
• 4WD with rough terrain tires: Four-wheel drive delivers traction and control on unimproved surfaces, while rough terrain tires help the lift track through gravel, packed dirt, and jobsite debris. The combination boosts mobility where slab-only units struggle, expanding where you can safely stage and operate.
• 8' platform: An 8-foot platform gives your crew room to work—tools, materials, and two workers can be organized more efficiently, reducing repositioning and saving minutes on every task. The added elbow room also helps improve ergonomics and workflow at height.
• Equipped with a jib: The jib is the finishing tool for precise final positioning. That extra articulation at the platform lets operators fine-tune reach and angle without moving the whole machine, improving productivity when working around structural steel, façade elements, MEP, and other sensitive installations.
• 80' platform height and 86' working height: With an 80-foot platform height and 86-foot working height, the Z80/60 covers a wide range of high-reach tasks—from multi-story construction and cladding to stadium lighting, process plant maintenance, and utility work. This reach range is a sweet spot for contractors who need big height without going to a heavier, more expensive class.
• Genie durability and support: Genie parts availability and service literature are market-leading, and industry familiarity means most service providers know this platform well. That reduces service friction across the life of the lift.

Applications

• General construction: Structural tie-ins, decking, exterior sheathing, and curtain wall installation benefit from the Z-boom’s ability to get up and over obstacles. The jib helps with fine placement around steel and façade elements.
• Industrial facilities: Ideal for plant maintenance, conveyor access, pipe rack work, and overhead utilities where articulation is necessary to reach around equipment and infrastructure safely.
• Civil and infrastructure: Bridges, overpasses, and transportation structures often demand up-and-over reach and stable footing on variable surfaces, making 4WD and rough terrain tires especially valuable.
• Energy and utilities: Lighting maintenance, substation work, and wind or solar site tasks are aided by the lift’s reach and the reliability of Deutz diesel power in remote locations.
• Stadiums and large venues: The 80' platform height and 86' working height let crews access lighting grids, signage, catwalks, and façade features without moving to a larger class of lift.
• Property management and exterior services: High-elevation inspections, cleaning, painting, and signage changes are more efficient thanks to the 8' platform and jib control.

Ownership Value

For many contractors, a used Genie Z80/60 is the most cost-effective way to secure reliable high-reach capability. At $29,875, this machine offers strong ROI compared to the cumulative cost of frequent rentals, especially for work that requires boom access several weeks or months a year. The Deutz diesel powerplant is known for robust performance under continuous use, and Genie’s broad parts and service network helps control lifecycle costs. The 4WD drivetrain and rough terrain tires expand where you can deploy the lift, potentially saving site prep time and allowing more efficient staging. The 8' platform improves crew productivity by reducing trips and repositioning, and the jib helps eliminate time-consuming micro-maneuvers.

Used equipment economics also favor buyers who need availability now. Instead of waiting on delivery of a new unit, a tested, inspected Z80/60 that’s ready to work can keep schedules on track. And because Genie’s design is familiar to operators and service teams, onboarding is straightforward—less time training, more time producing.

Why This Genie Z80/60

Not all boom lifts are built the same. This Z80/60 stands out because it combines the reach demanded by mid- to high-rise tasks with the articulation needed for complex jobsites. If you’re balancing height, maneuverability, and total cost, the 80' platform height and 86' working height hit the mark for a wide range of contractors. The 4WD system and rough terrain tires help ensure the machine isn’t limited to slab-only environments, and the Deutz diesel engine provides the durability and fuel efficiency serious users expect. The 8' platform and onboard jib complete the package by enhancing productivity and precision where it matters most—at the work face.

With 3,520 hours, the usage profile reflects a lift that has done its job without excessive wear, and the 2008 build year places it in a generation of Genie machines with outstanding field reputation. For buyers who care about practical, dependable performance, this configuration is a strong candidate.
