Advantages

• Diesel: A diesel powerplant provides the torque and runtime demanded by long-duty cycles at height. For fleet managers, diesel offers proven reliability, better fuel economy under load, and easy refueling in remote or industrial sites. The power delivery is well-suited to steady boom movements and platform control when precision is critical at significant elevation.
• 4WD: Four-wheel drive enhances traction and maneuverability across uneven ground, compacted soil, and mixed surfaces often found on large construction or energy projects. It supports confident positioning and setup so you can achieve required reach without excessive repositioning, saving time and reducing site congestion.
• 8' Platform: The 8' platform offers expansive working room for crew, tools, and materials. This larger deck translates to fewer trips up and down, more efficient task sequencing, and better ergonomics when handling longer materials, conduit, duct, or signage components at height.
• Rough Terrain Tires: Purpose-built tires help the SX180 traverse demanding jobsites and maintain stability during approach and setup. Combined with four-wheel drive, these tires are an important factor in keeping productivity high when ground conditions are less than ideal.
• 180' Platform Height: Extreme vertical access enables work that would otherwise require complex scaffolding or multiple machine setups. This capability is a game-changer for tall structures, helping crews reach upper elevations quickly, safely, and with fewer interruptions.
• 186' Working Height: The added working height provides the extra reach needed for overhead tasks, clearances, or installations at the top end of the platform’s range. That extra margin can make the difference between meeting a spec in one setup or returning with alternative access solutions.

Applications

With its reach, power, and terrain capability, the Genie SX180 straight boom lift is an ideal fit for a wide range of high-exposure work. Typical uses include:

• Energy and Utilities: Wind turbine service, power plant maintenance, substation work, and stack inspections where vertical access and stability are paramount.
• Telecom and Broadcast: Tower work, antenna installations, and line-of-sight adjustments that require precise positioning at extreme height.
• Industrial and Petrochemical: Refinery maintenance, tank inspections, pipe rack access, and shutdown projects with strict schedule and safety demands.
• Commercial Construction: High-rise exterior work, glass and façade maintenance, signage and lighting installation for stadiums, arenas, and distribution centers.
• Infrastructure: Bridge inspections, highway lighting maintenance, and large-scale public works where reach and repeatable positioning are essential.

In each of these scenarios, a straight boom lift like the Genie SX180 offers fast deployment, simple controls, and the reach to complete elevated tasks efficiently—helping reduce downtime and the total cost of access on complex jobs.

Ownership Value

Buying a used Genie SX180 from NLEQ provides a compelling cost-to-capability ratio. You gain the benefits of a high-reaching straight boom lift without the steep depreciation associated with new equipment. The 2015 model year and 2,510 hours place this unit in a favorable spot for owners looking to put it to work immediately while maintaining strong resale potential down the line.

• Lower Acquisition Cost: At $119,875, this unit positions your fleet to bid and execute tall-elevation work profitably, opening new revenue streams without overextending capital.
• Utilization-Ready: Diesel power and terrain capability allow you to deploy to a broad array of sites. With the 8' platform and extreme reach, one lift can handle tasks that might otherwise require multiple machines.
• Brand Confidence: Genie is recognized for parts availability and service support across North America, a key advantage for maximizing uptime and planning maintenance.
• Productivity at Height: The extreme platform and working height capabilities directly translate to fewer setups, faster completions, and less reliance on temporary access structures.

For buyers who regularly tackle maintenance intervals, capital projects, or outage work at tall elevations, this unit’s specification set is designed to pay for itself through improved productivity and reduced rental dependence.
