Condition

Every machine listed by NLEQ is carefully tested and inspected before being offered for sale, and this 2017 Genie S40 is no exception. Buyers can expect accurate, honest, and reliable information that reflects the machine’s true condition and performance. With 1,505 hours, this unit shows typical light-to-moderate fleet use for its age, and the inspection process verifies that core functions operate as intended, including boom lift/extend, steer, drive, and safety systems. As with any used straight boom lift, wear may be present in paint and cosmetics appropriate to hours and age, but the focus here is on the operating integrity that matters most to professional users.

Advantages and What They Mean on the Job

• Diesel power: The diesel engine delivers strong torque and reliable power for outdoor work, especially on grades, uneven surfaces, and longer travel distances between work areas. Diesel also aligns with heavy-duty duty cycles, helping the S40 maintain consistent performance through multi-shift site demands.
• 4WD drivetrain: Four-wheel drive is a major advantage when the jobsite is variable or unimproved. 4WD provides improved traction and control when navigating gravel, loose dirt, wet conditions, or sloped terrain, helping keep the machine moving and productivity high.
• Rough terrain tires: Paired with 4WD, rough terrain tires help the S40 handle mud, ruts, and construction debris more confidently. This means fewer delays due to underfoot conditions and more ability to position the lift exactly where work needs to be done.
• 40' platform height: The platform can reach 40 feet, providing ample elevation for mid-rise exteriors, structural steel, roof edges, lighting, and signage. This is a sweet spot for many commercial and industrial projects, balancing reach with maneuverability.
• 46' working height: The additional working height gives operators the functional reach to perform tasks overhead while standing safely on the platform, which can reduce repositioning and save time over the course of a shift.
• 8' platform: The 8-foot basket offers comfortable working space for personnel, tools, and materials. Wider platforms support better workflow—spreading out equipment, staging fasteners and tools, and minimizing climbs up and down to retrieve items.

Taken together, the diesel engine, 4WD, rough terrain tires, 40' platform height, 46' working height, and 8' platform enable the Genie S40 Straight Boom Lift to work where slab-only machines struggle, and to complete outdoor tasks with fewer repositionings and less downtime. For owners, these advantages translate into real-world productivity gains and job-ready versatility.

Applications and Industry Relevance

The Genie S40 is a popular choice for contractors, facility managers, and industrial maintenance teams who need reliable vertical reach with straightforward operation. Its capabilities lend themselves to a wide range of use cases:

• General construction: Exterior framing, sheathing, façade installation, glazing assistance, and roof-edge tasks that benefit from direct, telescopic access.
• Steel erection: Access for bolting, bracing, and detail work where straight-out reach streamlines positioning along structural members.
• Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades: Running conduit, mounting fixtures, rooftop unit access, and exterior utility tie-ins.
• Signage and lighting: Pole lights, parking lot fixtures, canopy lighting, and outdoor sign install and service work.
• Industrial facilities: Plant maintenance, exterior piping, tank access, catwalk work, and equipment changeouts around yards or production areas.
• Property management: Building repairs, gutter maintenance, painting, and façade cleaning for commercial complexes.

Because this is a straight boom lift, it excels at outreach and height with simple, intuitive controls. The S40’s configuration is well-suited to environments where the work area is in front of or above the machine, and where the ability to traverse uneven ground is essential. Diesel and 4WD make it a strong option for outdoor, rough-terrain worksites that would challenge slab scissor lifts or smaller, two-wheel-drive platforms.

Ownership Value

Genie’s S-series boom lifts are known for dependable performance, straightforward maintenance, and strong parts support. For owners, that means:

• Operational reliability: Simple, proven design helps reduce troubleshooting time and keeps the lift in service.
• Productive configuration: The 8' platform and 40'/46' reach combination fits a broad range of tasks, enabling one machine to support multiple trades and project phases.
• Resale confidence: Genie-branded equipment maintains market interest, which can aid future disposition planning.
• Fleet flexibility: Diesel 4WD with rough terrain tires lets you deploy this S40 across jobsites rather than limiting it to finished surfaces.

For buyers comparing used straight boom lifts, hours matter—and at 1,505 hours, this 2017 Genie S40 offers an appealing balance of age and use. The pricing at $37,850 reflects a strong value proposition for a boom that is thoroughly inspected and ready for work, backed by NLEQ’s reputation for accurate, honest listings.
