Overview and Machine Purpose

The Genie S65 Straight Boom Lift is engineered to provide direct, high-reaching access for construction, installation, maintenance, and inspection tasks where vertical and horizontal reach are essential. As a Straight Boom Lift, this machine delivers superior outreach compared to articulating models, allowing operators to reach elevated work zones quickly and efficiently without multiple repositioning cycles. This makes it particularly valuable for job sites requiring speed, stability, and extended reach performance. The 2017 build year ensures modern design improvements, improved fuel efficiency, and enhanced operator control systems, making this unit a strong performer in today’s competitive equipment market.

Performance and Operating Condition

With 4,724 hours, this Genie S65 reflects moderate operational usage for a machine in the aerial lift category. Boom lifts are designed for rugged, repeated use in construction and industrial environments, and this hour range indicates the machine has been actively utilized while still maintaining strong operational integrity. All NLEQ equipment is carefully inspected and tested prior to listing, ensuring that buyers receive a machine that is job-ready and capable of performing under real site conditions. Operators can expect reliable hydraulic performance, stable boom extension, and consistent engine output suitable for demanding elevated work applications.

Diesel Power and 4WD Capability

This Straight Boom Lift is powered by a diesel engine, offering strong torque, long operating cycles, and dependable fuel efficiency for extended job site use. Diesel power is preferred in construction environments due to its durability and ability to handle continuous heavy-duty workloads without performance degradation. Combined with 4WD (four-wheel drive), this Genie S65 is capable of navigating rough terrain, uneven surfaces, and outdoor job sites with improved traction and stability. This makes it ideal for construction zones, infrastructure projects, and industrial yards where ground conditions are unpredictable.

65’ Class Reach and Straight Boom Advantage

The Genie S65 belongs to the 65-foot class Straight Boom Lift category, offering extended vertical and horizontal reach designed for high-elevation tasks. Straight boom configuration allows operators to extend directly outward with minimal articulation, which improves reach efficiency and reduces time spent repositioning the machine. This design is especially beneficial for steel erection, building maintenance, utility work, and large-scale industrial installations where direct access to elevated work areas is required. The extended reach capability ensures maximum productivity while maintaining operator stability at height.

8’ Platform for Enhanced Working Space

The 8-foot platform provides a spacious working area for operators and tools, allowing multiple workers or additional equipment to be safely positioned at height. This increased platform space improves productivity by reducing the need for frequent trips up and down the lift. It also enhances safety by providing stable footing and adequate room for tool handling and material positioning during elevated tasks.

Foam Filled Tires for Job Site Durability

Equipped with foam filled tires, this Genie S65 Straight Boom Lift is designed to withstand harsh job site conditions without the risk of flats or punctures. Foam filled tires provide increased durability and reliability, especially in construction environments where sharp debris, rough terrain, and uneven surfaces are common. This ensures reduced downtime, lower maintenance costs, and consistent machine availability on active job sites.

Integrated Jib for Precision Positioning

The inclusion of a jib adds an important layer of flexibility and precision to this boom lift. The jib allows operators to make fine adjustments to platform positioning at height, improving access to difficult or tight work areas. This feature is particularly valuable for tasks requiring accurate alignment, such as installation work, façade maintenance, and structural inspection. The jib enhances overall machine versatility and operator control in elevated environments.

Applications Across Multiple Industries

The Genie S65 Straight Boom Lift is widely used across various industries due to its reach, stability, and rugged design. Common applications include:

• Commercial and residential construction projects
• Steel structure erection and fabrication work
• Industrial maintenance and facility repairs
• Utility line installation and servicing
• Sign installation and exterior building maintenance

Its combination of diesel power, 4WD capability, and extended reach makes it suitable for both indoor-accessible large facilities and challenging outdoor environments.

Ownership Value and Cost Efficiency

At a price of $27,950.00, this 2017 Genie S65 Straight Boom Lift offers strong value for contractors and equipment buyers seeking reliable aerial access equipment without the high cost of new machinery. The combination of durability, high reach capability, and proven Genie engineering ensures long-term operational value. Diesel efficiency and foam filled tire reliability further reduce ongoing maintenance and operating costs, making this a cost-effective investment for businesses looking to expand their fleet or replace aging equipment.

Why This Genie S65 Stands Out

This specific Genie S65 stands out due to its balanced combination of reach, power, and durability. The 65-foot class Straight Boom Lift design ensures fast, direct access to elevated work areas, while the diesel 4WD configuration guarantees strong performance in outdoor and rough terrain environments. The addition of an 8-foot platform and jib further enhances operational flexibility, making this machine suitable for a wide range of job site applications. With 2017 manufacturing quality and moderate operating hours, it represents a strong mid-life asset in the aerial lift category.
