Advantages

• Articulating boom design: The Z80/60’s articulating configuration is purpose-built for reaching up and over obstacles. This allows operators to access work areas above structures, piping, conveyors, or equipment where straight telescopic lifts may struggle. The result is faster setup and more precise positioning at height.
• Diesel power: Diesel engines deliver strong torque and sustained performance for long workdays. On busy construction sites or remote jobs, diesel power supports reliability, fueling convenience, and the ability to handle demanding conditions without compromising productivity.
• 4WD mobility: Four-wheel drive provides traction and control across uneven terrain, gravel, packed dirt, and mildly soft ground commonly encountered on new builds, utility projects, and heavy industrial facilities. 4WD helps reduce time lost to repositioning and keeps crews moving safely and efficiently.
• Rough terrain tires: Purpose-built tires help absorb impacts and enhance stability over variable surfaces. Better ride quality can reduce operator fatigue, and improved grip helps maintain productivity in less-than-ideal ground conditions.
• 8' platform: The larger platform provides room for two workers and tools, improving efficiency for tasks like steel erection, HVAC install, maintenance, electrical runs, or pipework. Additional space supports better organization and fewer trips up and down.
• Jib for fine positioning: The jib enables refined control at the top of the boom, making it easier to reach tight spots or orient workers and materials accurately. This precision translates to better work quality and fewer delays.
• 80' platform height and 86' working height: With substantial vertical reach, crews can perform high-elevation tasks without multiple machine moves or additional scaffolding. That saves time and lowers risk by cutting down on intermediate setup steps.
• Genie reliability: Genie has a reputation for durable, serviceable boom lifts and broad parts availability. Fleet managers and rental houses appreciate the familiarity and ease of support that Genie equipment brings to daily operations.

Applications

The 2016 Genie Z80/60 Articulating Boom Lift is a versatile fit for a wide range of elevated work. The combination of diesel power, 4WD, an 8' platform, rough terrain tires, and a jib makes it particularly effective in environments where access is difficult and surfaces are uneven.

• Commercial construction: Structural steel, façade installation, curtain wall work, glazing, exterior painting, and signage at substantial heights.
• Industrial facilities: Plant maintenance, conveyor work, tank access, piping, and equipment installs where up-and-over reach is essential.
• Energy and utilities: Substation maintenance, refineries, power plants, wind and solar sites, and transmission support work.
• Infrastructure: Bridges, ports, rail facilities, airports, and large public works projects that demand reliable high reach and precision.
• Institutional campuses: Stadiums, hospitals, universities, and distribution centers needing safe access to ceilings, lighting, and building exteriors.

For crews who need to stage tools at height and maintain stable footing at elevated elevations, the 8' platform and jib make detailed work more manageable while the 4WD and rough terrain tires keep the machine mobile across broad jobsite conditions.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used articulating boom lift from a trusted brand like Genie can substantially reduce acquisition costs while maintaining dependable performance. Compared to buying new, a well cared-for 2016 Genie Z80/60 can help you allocate capital to other priorities without sacrificing capability or safety. Diesel power supports long service life, and the prevalence of Genie lifts in the market contributes to straightforward parts sourcing and service access. The features on this unit—4WD, rough terrain tires, jib, and the 8' platform—enhance utilization across projects, improving return on investment.

Operationally, crews benefit from the versatility of an articulating configuration and the reach to complete work at 80' platform height with an 86' working height. That flexibility can reduce the need for additional equipment or complicated staging. Lower transport and setup times, increased productivity at height, and broad applicability across trades all contribute to a machine that earns its keep day after day.
