Overview

The Genie S65 is part of Genie’s straight boom (telescopic) lineup, built for direct-out reach and fast elevation to working height. Straight boom lifts are preferred where clear, linear access is needed—like structural steel, tilt-wall, façade work, and general construction—because they enable operators to get on target quickly without complex articulation. With Diesel power, 4WD, and Foam Filled Tires, this S65 is tailored for outdoor and mixed-terrain use, giving crews the traction and stability they need when surfaces are uneven, soft, or debris-strewn. For buyers who value uptime and predictable ownership, the S65’s straightforward design, strong parts availability, and Genie’s well-earned reputation make it a standout in the 65-class straight boom category.

Advantages and Key Benefits

• Diesel Power: The Diesel engine provides the torque and durability that outdoor, all-day duty cycles demand. For long reaches and travel on grades, Diesel delivers responsive performance, steady power, and the fuel efficiency expected on busy construction sites.
• 4WD Traction: Four-wheel drive improves mobility across dirt, gravel, compacted fill, and transitions. Operators gain confidence when positioning the straight boom lift where it’s needed, reducing setup time and enhancing productivity on dynamic sites.
• Foam Filled Tires: Foam Filled Tires are widely used to reduce the risk of downtime from punctures and to support load stability. They hold their shape under demanding loads and terrain variances, helping the S65 maintain predictable handling and steadiness when driving across rough ground.
• Rough-Terrain Performance: While this unit is specified with Foam Filled Tires, buyers seeking rough ground capability will appreciate that foam-filled solutions are commonly chosen for the same jobsite conditions as Rough Terrain Tires. The result is reliable jobsite mobility with minimized flat-related interruptions.
• Straight Boom Simplicity: Compared with articulating lifts, a straight boom lift like the Genie S65 excels when direct-out reach is the primary requirement. Fewer pivot points means a straightforward operating experience, fast boom extension, and efficient targeting of work areas.
• 65-Class Reach Capability: The S65 belongs to Genie’s 65-class straight boom segment, engineered for substantial height and outreach needs in exterior construction, industrial maintenance, and infrastructure work. For many crews, the 65-class represents a sweet spot between reach and maneuverability.
• Genie Brand Strength: Genie is known worldwide for aerial work platforms that balance performance with serviceability. Parts availability, dealer support networks, and established best practices make ownership more predictable—important for both end users and rental fleets.
• Uptime-Oriented Tires and Driveline: The combination of Foam Filled Tires and 4WD is built for real jobsites where debris, fasteners, and uneven surfaces are common. This configuration is designed to keep the machine moving and your schedule on track.
• Jib Consideration: Many buyers prefer a jib for finer positioning. This listing does not specify a jib; if a jib is critical for your work, contact NLEQ to verify whether this S65 includes one or to discuss alternatives.
• Cost-Effective vs. New: At $49,950, this used Genie S65 represents significant savings compared with new inventory while still delivering the features most crews require for outdoor lifting and placement tasks.

Practical Applications

The Genie S65 Straight Boom Lift is a versatile choice for a wide range of outdoor and industrial work where direct, unobstructed access is needed. With Diesel power, 4WD, and Foam Filled Tires, this 2016 model fits right into challenging environments that require both reach and mobility.

• General Construction: Exterior framing, siding, EIFS, painting, and punch list work on mid-rise projects where straight-out reach reduces setup time.
• Steel Erection and Precast: Positioning at beam connections, bolt-up, and panel alignment where quick, linear access helps crews stay on schedule.
• Tilt-Up and Curtain Wall: Installing panels, setting embeds, and glazing tasks that benefit from the fast, precise approach of a straight boom lift.
• Industrial Plants and Facilities: Maintenance of stacks, conveyors, and elevated systems where Diesel power and 4WD help navigate plant yards and exterior lots.
• Infrastructure and Utilities: Bridge work, lighting standards, traffic structures, and signage where direct reach reduces repositioning.
• Shipyards, Rail, and Logistics: Accessing hulls, gantries, or elevated racking in environments that demand rugged tires and traction.
• Energy and O&M: Wind and solar site maintenance, substation access, and balance-of-plant tasks where off-pavement travel is routine.
• Rental Fleet Addition: A workhorse model with broad demand drivers; an S65 with Diesel, 4WD, and Foam Filled Tires is a staple for many rental customers.

Ownership Value

For owners focused on total cost of ownership, the Genie S65 is a strong candidate. Straight boom lifts are known for their operating efficiency and simpler design compared with more complex platforms, and Genie’s widespread parts availability supports faster service turnaround. Diesel power is well-suited to outdoor duty cycles and helps maintain productivity over long shifts. Foam Filled Tires reduce the downtime and cost associated with flats, and 4WD means fewer delays when traversing uneven or soft ground to reach the work area. The S65’s popularity also supports favorable resale positioning when it’s time to rotate assets. At $49,950, this unit offers a compelling acquisition cost for a 2016 model with 1,986 hours, helping you align budget with performance while keeping capital expenditures in check.
