Advantages

• Diesel power: Diesel propulsion is the gold standard for high-duty-cycle aerial work. It provides the torque and staying power needed for long days and demanding lift cycles, especially on large jobsites. For owners, diesel efficiency often translates into fewer refueling interruptions and predictable performance in changing jobsite conditions.
• 8' platform: The wider platform gives crews room to work, stage tools, and handle larger components with better footing and less repositioning. That extra space can reduce trips up and down, improve productivity, and allow two workers to operate comfortably without crowding, particularly when tackling façade work, steel work, and large-panel installations.
• Rough terrain tires: Job-ready traction helps you traverse uneven ground commonly found on construction, industrial, and infrastructure projects. Rough terrain tires are designed to help the machine maintain stability and advance across dirt, gravel, and partially improved sites, allowing you to position the boom where the work is, not just where the ground is perfect.
• Jib for precise positioning: The jib provides an additional articulation point at height, allowing fine, controlled placement of the platform without needing to move the entire boom. That precision is especially valuable when aligning with structural steel, accessing behind obstructions, or working around sensitive equipment where small adjustments matter.
• 150' platform height: Reaching up to 150 feet at the platform gives you direct access to tall elevations from a single setup. That level of reach helps minimize machine moves, reduces site disruption, and lets your team accomplish more in less time on high-rise façades, towers, and industrial stacks.
• 156' working height: The added working height offers practical overhead clearance for tools, materials, and operator comfort. It provides a safety margin for tasks that require headroom above the platform rail or when accessing points slightly above the platform elevation.
• Genie brand reliability: Genie is a trusted name in aerial equipment. Their straight boom lifts are known for dependable performance, intuitive operation, and widespread market support. That reputation helps with fleet acceptance and makes it easier to integrate this model into existing operations.

Applications

• High-rise façade work and glazing: When crews need to reach upper floors or parapets, tall-reach capability combined with an 8' platform supports efficient glass handling, panel placement, and sealant work. The jib helps with precise alignment along architectural details without frequent re-positioning.
• Structural steel, towers, and signage: Steel erection, tower maintenance, and large sign installation benefit from stable outreach and controlled platform placement. Diesel power and rough terrain tires help you access challenging positions across developing sites and laydown areas.
• Infrastructure and bridges: Bridge inspections, retrofits, and maintenance often require tall access over water or uneven approaches. The platform space supports tools and crew, while the jib can aid in navigating around beams and bracing for targeted work zones.
• Industrial plants and refineries: Complex plants demand precise, high-elevation access. The combination of height, platform capacity, and jib maneuverability helps crews reach ducting, stacks, and process equipment with fewer platform relocations, helping to reduce downtime windows.
• Power and utilities: From substation structures to tall lighting and communication infrastructure, utility contractors appreciate the ability to reach high points safely, with enough deck space for components and secure tool staging.
• Stadiums and large venues: Lighting, signage, and façade maintenance at large venues often require a tall boom that can set up away from pedestrian areas or landscaping. The platform width and jib enable detailed tasks at elevation without constant repositioning.

Ownership Value

Buying a used Genie SX150 straight boom lift is a strategic move for contractors and rental houses who need tall reach without the capital burden of new equipment. With 2,540 hours, this 2016 model offers a balance between proven, in-service history and useful life ahead. Diesel power supports full-shift productivity, while Genie’s brand reputation helps ensure operator familiarity and strong utilization rates. The 8' platform can translate into measurable efficiency gains on jobs where space, tools, and two-person tasks are common. At the same time, rough terrain tires broaden your jobsite access and reduce time lost to repositioning. The jib’s fine control can cut minutes from each placement—minutes that add up across an entire project. In the resale market, tall-reach straight boom lifts from a respected manufacturer tend to maintain interest among buyers, preserving long-term asset value. When you source through NLEQ, you add the confidence of a tested and inspected machine, represented accurately, with a team that understands your operational needs and timeline.

Why this SX150

If your projects are pushing beyond conventional boom heights, this Genie SX150 offers the kind of vertical access that can consolidate work phases and reduce complexity. Rather than coordinating multiple machines or dealing with extended scaffolding, a tall straight boom provides direct, fast access for inspection, installation, maintenance, and finish work. The 8' platform makes a difference on real jobs—carry more gear up once, lay out materials, and let two workers operate without getting in each other’s way. Rough terrain tires open up more positions along the site, so you can set up where you need to, not just where the ground is perfectly graded. The jib’s precise positioning is a time-saver when aligning components, working behind obstacles, or making repeatable adjustments at height. With 2,540 hours on a 2016 build, this unit strikes a practical balance for buyers who want proven reliability without overcommitting on cost. For rental fleets, the SX150 is a draw for high-reach work, and for contractors, it’s a job-winning asset that can simplify scheduling and reduce the need for alternative access methods.
