Advantages and What the Key Features Mean in Practice

• Deutz diesel power: Deutz has a long reputation for rugged, fuel-efficient industrial engines. In the field, that translates into dependable cold starts, steady torque for drive and lift functions, and broad parts support. A Deutz diesel helps keep total cost of ownership predictable by balancing performance with efficiency.
• Diesel fuel system: Diesel power is the preferred choice for outdoor construction and industrial sites where sustained duty cycles and higher tractive effort are needed. Operators benefit from strong performance on grades, longer run times between refueling, and robust reliability under heavy loads.
• 4WD drivetrain: Four-wheel drive gives the Genie S45 traction to climb, traverse uneven ground, and operate on packed soil, gravel, and typical jobsite surfaces. This improves productivity by reducing repositioning time and expanding where you can safely set up, particularly on work sites that aren’t fully paved.
• Self-propelled mobility: Self-propelled operation simplifies on-site logistics. Operators can drive to the next work position without relying on tow vehicles or forklifts, minimizing downtime and enabling precise micro-positioning for each task.
• Straight boom lift design: A straight (telescopic) boom provides quick, direct horizontal and vertical reach. Compared to articulating designs, straight booms are prized for faster boom speeds to working height and simpler positioning when you need to go up and out to a fixed point like a roofline, structural steel, or facade.
• Jib capability context: Many Genie S45 configurations include a jib that provides additional articulation at the platform end for fine positioning around obstructions. If a jib is important for your application, ask our team to confirm whether NLEQ# 146428 is equipped with one.

Specification note regarding heights: The Genie S45 model family is widely associated with the 45 ft platform height class and an approximate 51 ft working height. While those figures are common benchmarks for S45 units, the exact platform and working heights for this specific machine are not listed in the provided details. If height metrics are critical to your scope, please contact us to verify the Platform Height 45 ft and Working Height 51 ft specs on this unit.

Applications and Industry Relevance

The Genie S45 is a versatile straight boom lift that performs across a wide range of industries and site conditions. Its combination of diesel power, 4WD capability, and self-propelled maneuverability makes it well-suited to outdoor and mixed-surface environments. Common uses include:

• Commercial and industrial construction: Structural steel assembly, roof access, decking, glazing, and envelope work where up-and-over positioning is needed.
• Facility maintenance: Exterior building maintenance, lighting, signage, facade repairs, and seasonal tasks at distribution centers, plants, and large commercial sites.
• Utilities and infrastructure: Line-of-sight work for telecom, electrical, and infrastructure projects requiring stable elevation and reliable platform control.
• Oil, gas, and petrochemical: Turnarounds, shutdowns, and routine maintenance where dependable diesel power and traction are paramount.
• Stadiums and venues: Installing and servicing lighting, displays, and overhead equipment in large venues with varying surface conditions.
• Rental fleet applications: A staple model for rental fleets thanks to its straightforward operation, recognizable model designation, and parts availability.

Ownership Value and Total Cost of Ownership

Owning a used Genie S45 straight boom lift can deliver strong ROI when compared to long-term rentals, especially for contractors, facility owners, and service providers with recurring aerial work. Key ownership drivers for this 2018 unit include:
