Advantages and what they mean in the field

• Diesel: A diesel powerplant provides high torque output, strong duty-cycle performance, and efficient fuel consumption for outdoor, all-day work. Diesel engines excel in rough or sloped jobsites where extra power keeps the boom steady and responsive. For contractors, that translates to fewer interruptions, reliable cold starts, and the pulling power required for 4WD performance.
• 4WD: Four-wheel drive gives the S45 confident mobility across compacted fill, gravel, grass, and moderately uneven terrain. With 4WD, operators can navigate the site, stage the machine faster, and position the boom where it’s needed—reducing time lost to repositioning and expanding the lift’s usable work envelope on real-world job surfaces.
• 8' Platform: An 8-foot basket offers a generous work area that comfortably accommodates two people plus tools and materials. The added platform width improves ergonomics, reduces the number of repositioning moves, and enhances productivity when working along long runs of fascia, steel, conduit, or panel systems.

Together, diesel power, 4WD traction, and a wide 8' platform give this Genie S45 a practical performance profile: strong travel capability, efficient lifting, and a roomy workspace that supports fast, safe task completion.

About commonly paired S45 features

The Genie S45 platform is frequently seen in the market with several features that complement straight boom performance. The current listing confirms Diesel, 4WD, and an 8' platform for this unit. The items below are commonly associated with the S45 series; they are not listed as included on this machine and should be considered subject to confirmation:

• Oscillating Axles (Osc. Axles): Often paired with 4WD to help maintain tire contact and traction over uneven ground, improving stability and reducing wheel slip.
• Rough Terrain Tires: Purpose-built tread and construction for off‑pavement travel, aiding grip and durability on construction sites.
• On-board Generator: Supplies platform power for tools and equipment at height, minimizing extension cords and improving efficiency on installations or maintenance tasks.
• Jib: A jib provides additional articulation at the platform end, allowing finer positioning and improved access around obstacles without needing to reposition the chassis.
• 45-Class Reach: The S45 designation is associated with a 45-foot class straight boom, a popular working range that balances height with maneuverability on tighter jobsites.

If any of these capabilities are critical to your scope, NLEQ can verify the exact configuration of this unit or source comparable Genie S45 straight boom lifts equipped to your requirements.
