Advantages of This Configuration

• Genie S85 Straight Boom Lift: A respected industry platform known for predictable controls, durability, and strong parts support. The straight boom design helps operators reach tall points efficiently with minimal repositioning.
• 85' Platform Height and 91' Working Height: Delivers the vertical reach required for multi-story construction, industrial maintenance, and high-elevation installations. The 91' working height gives operators practical reach for overhead tasks while maintaining safe standoff distance.
• Deutz Turbo Diesel: The Deutz Turbo Diesel is valued for reliable torque delivery, fuel efficiency, and longevity. Deutz’s reputation for ruggedness translates into confident performance in continuous-duty environments.
• 4WD Traction: True four-wheel drive offers better control on slopes, gravel, and unprepared ground. Job sites with variable soil conditions benefit from the improved mobility and reduced risk of getting bogged down.
• Oscillating Axle: The oscillating axle automatically adapts to uneven terrain, helping keep tires in contact with the ground for better stability and traction. This is especially helpful when traversing ruts, ramps, and irregular grades.
• Foam Filled Rough Terrain Tires: Foam filled tires reduce downtime from flats and provide consistent support under load. The rough terrain tread delivers grip on packed dirt, rock, and job site debris.
• 8' Platform: Extra platform width accommodates multiple workers, larger tools, and materials. The added space improves workflow at height, reducing the need for up-and-down cycles to retrieve supplies.
• Jib for Precision: The integrated Jib adds articulation beyond the primary boom, enabling fine positioning around obstacles, under eaves, and into tight areas near the work target.

Applications

This Genie S85 Straight Boom Lift is a versatile solution across construction, industrial, and maintenance sectors where safe, consistent high-reach capability is essential. Typical uses include:

• Commercial construction: Steel erection, facade work, window and siding installation, roofline tasks, and finishing at elevation.
• Industrial facilities: Plant maintenance, process piping access, conveyor and racking work, ventilation, and elevated inspections.
• Infrastructure: Bridge inspections, lighting and signage installation, overpass and highway work where tall vertical reach is required.
