Condition

Every machine NLEQ offers is carefully tested and inspected before sale to provide accurate, honest, and reliable information. This 2018 Genie S45 shows 3,128 hours and has been evaluated for major functional systems, including lift, drive, steering, and safety controls.

Buyers are encouraged to request the latest inspection details, photos, and videos to review current condition and confirm that this straight boom lift matches their jobsite requirements.

Advantages

• Deutz diesel: Known for durability and straightforward serviceability, the Deutz diesel engine provides consistent torque and dependable cold starts. For rental fleets and contractors, this translates into fewer surprises, easy parts sourcing, and predictable maintenance over the life of the machine.
• 4WD: Four-wheel drive enhances traction on uneven or soft surfaces, helping keep productivity up when the ground is less than perfect. When staging materials, positioning the lift, or traversing jobsite obstacles, 4WD reduces the chances of getting bogged down and saves time.
• Foam filled rough terrain tires: Foam filling adds puncture resistance and stability compared to air-filled tires. On debris-prone sites or developments with nails, rebar, or sharp aggregate, these rough terrain tires help minimize downtime caused by flats while enhancing ride stability at height.
• Platform height 45 ft: A 45 ft platform height hits a sweet spot for many mid-rise exterior tasks, offering ample reach without the larger footprint of taller machines. Crews gain fast up-and-over access for façade, MEP, and steel work while maintaining easy transport and setup.
• Genie build quality: The S45 is part of Genie’s proven straight boom lineup, recognized for intuitive controls and consistent performance. That familiarity simplifies operator onboarding and reduces training time across mixed fleets.
• Used equipment value: Buying a late-model, low-hour straight boom lift can significantly reduce acquisition cost while preserving capability. For many contractors, a used Genie S45 delivers a faster ROI than new, especially when utilization fluctuates by project phase.

For jobs that may benefit from auxiliary power or finer platform positioning, the S45 platform family commonly accommodates a generator and a jib. Confirm availability on this specific unit to match your application needs while avoiding extra cost for features you may not require.

Applications

• Structural steel and erection: The 45 ft platform height allows crews to safely reach connection points and weld seams, supporting reliable fit-up and inspection work.
• Commercial exterior construction: From façade panel installation to EIFS and window setting, a straight boom lift like the Genie S45 simplifies precise positioning against vertical surfaces.
• Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades: MEP installers benefit from quick elevation and stable platform positioning for conduit runs, rooftop equipment interfaces, and exterior routing.
• Signage and lighting: Ideal for sign installation, lighting maintenance, and pole-mounted equipment work where a direct, vertical approach and steady platform are essential.
• Industrial facilities and plants: The combination of Deutz diesel power, 4WD, and foam filled rough terrain tires helps navigate gravel yards, laydown areas, and uneven approaches common in industrial settings.
• Property maintenance and repair: Schools, hospitals, retail centers, and logistics hubs can use a 45 ft straight boom lift for routine exterior maintenance, painting, and inspection tasks.

Whether supporting a general contractor, steel erector, or industrial maintenance team, the Genie S45’s straightforward reach, traction, and stability translate into predictable productivity. Where site conditions vary, 4WD and foam filled rough terrain tires help operators stay on task, while the Deutz diesel engine provides the power and durability needed for full-shift performance.

Ownership Value

• Lower total cost: With a competitive $36,500.00 asking price, this used 2018 unit helps minimize capital outlay while preserving core capabilities required on most mid-rise exterior scopes.
• Serviceability: Deutz engines are supported widely, with parts availability and service networks that help keep downtime in check. That means faster turnarounds and more predictable maintenance planning.
• Uptime in rough conditions: Foam filled rough terrain tires reduce flat-related downtime and contribute to stability when operating on debris-laden or unfinished sites.
• Operator familiarity: Genie’s control layout and response are well known in the field, helping reduce training time, limit operator errors, and maintain productivity across changing crews.
• Resale confidence: Genie straight boom lifts are in constant demand. Properly maintained, the S45 platform remains a sought-after model, supporting future resale value.

By selecting a proven model with hours aligned to remaining service life expectations, owners can allocate budget to more specialized equipment while maintaining reliable access capability on day-to-day tasks.
