Condition

Every machine we list undergoes a comprehensive inspection to confirm key operating functions, safety systems, and driveline performance. This 2016 Genie S65 reflects hours in line with professional use and has been evaluated for boom operation, drive and steer response, engine performance, and hydraulic function. Foam filled tires are checked for integrity, and controls are verified for smooth, predictable operation. Buyers should expect normal cosmetic wear consistent with age and hours. We encourage you to contact our team for the latest test results, servicing details, and to discuss any questions about features or configuration so you know precisely what you are getting.

Advantages that matter on your jobsite

• Diesel power: The diesel configuration delivers reliable torque and duty-cycle endurance, ideal for long shifts and higher load demands. Diesel engines are widely supported, making parts and service straightforward in most regions. For buyers working on remote or heavy-construction sites, diesel offers the blend of fuel efficiency and power that keeps a straight boom lift productive throughout the day.
• 4WD traction: Four-wheel drive increases performance across uneven, muddy, or gravel surfaces common to active jobsites. With all wheels driving, operators get confident maneuverability, better approach control, and more stability when positioning for lifts. This is especially valuable when staging the machine on compacted fill, jobsite access roads, or mixed terrain.
• Foam filled rough terrain tires: Foam filled tires are designed to resist flats, cut downtime, and maintain machine stance on harsh surfaces. They are a recognized solution for rough terrain applications where debris, rebar, or sharp aggregate can threaten conventional pneumatics. Foam filled tires also help maintain consistent tire pressure characteristics, which supports predictable platform leveling and transport performance.
• Straight boom precision: A straight boom lift provides fast, direct elevation and straightforward horizontal reach, minimizing time spent repositioning. Crews appreciate the intuitive extension and retraction for tasks like steel erection, panel installation, and façade work where repeatable positioning is critical to productivity.
• Rough Terrain Tires in practice: On construction projects, rough terrain tires help the machine traverse ruts, packed gravel, and uneven substrates. Combined with 4WD, they support confident setup so operators can focus on the task at height rather than ground conditions.
• Oscillating Axle consideration: Many buyers prioritize an oscillating axle on rough ground because it helps maintain tire contact and traction when surfaces vary. If an Oscillating Axle is important for your environment, speak with our team to review whether this particular S65 is configured with that feature and how it performs during articulation under load.
• Jib versatility: A Jib, when equipped, enables finer final placement at height, allowing operators to angle into tight areas, work around obstructions, or align fixtures without moving the base machine. If your scope includes precision set work, ask us about jib configuration and control response on this unit.
• Platform Height 65(ft.) relevance: The S65 model aligns with the 65-foot platform height class that so many general contractors and specialty trades depend on. This class typically balances reach with transportability and site access. Confirm exact height and reach metrics for this specific unit with our sales team, and we will share the latest inspection notes.

Applications

A Genie S65 Straight Boom Lift is a staple across commercial and industrial environments where reliable elevation and reach equal schedule progress. Buyers commonly deploy this class of lift for:

• Structural steel erection and bracing, where precise horizontal reach shortens lift cycles
• Building envelope work including precast, EIFS, cladding, and siding installation
• Glazing and window setting on mid-rise exteriors
• Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-in at height, both interior courtyards and exterior runs
• Arena and stadium maintenance, lighting, and signage
• Refinery, power plant, and processing facility maintenance where durability and traction are essential
• Bridge approaches and transportation infrastructure tasks needing reach over embankments
• Telecom and utilities where stable, repeatable positioning accelerates field work

Ownership value

• Strong resale and fleet acceptance: Genie straight boom lifts are widely adopted, making resale and redeployment straightforward when project requirements change.
• Parts availability and serviceability: Genie’s deep support network simplifies maintenance planning and helps reduce downtime across the life of the machine.
• Cost control versus new: A 2016 unit with approximately 3,100 hours represents a compelling alternative to new purchase pricing, often with similar jobsite performance in core duties.
• Work-ready configuration: Diesel, 4WD, and foam filled tires target the needs of real construction sites, limiting costly disruptions from flats and soft ground.
• Operator familiarity: The S65 platform and control layout are well known across the industry, which helps crews get up to speed quickly and improves daily productivity.
