Condition

Every machine NLEQ sells is carefully tested and inspected before being offered for sale, and this 2017 Genie S65 is no exception. With 2873 hours, the lift shows typical signs of responsible use while remaining in strong operating condition. The Deutz Turbo Diesel engine starts, runs, and responds as it should, delivering dependable torque for lifting and travel.

As with all NLEQ machines, systems and functions are evaluated so you can purchase with confidence, knowing the information you’re receiving is accurate, honest, and reliable.

Advantages

• Deutz Turbo Diesel reliability and power: Deutz is known for robust industrial diesel engines with strong low-end torque and efficient fuel usage. In a straight boom lift application, that means confident lifting, smooth hydraulic function, and lower fuel burn across a shift. Turbocharging helps maintain performance at varying altitudes and loads, which is crucial when you’re extending a Genie S65 boom with crew and materials on board.
• 4WD traction for real jobsites: Construction sites are rarely flat or clean. The 4WD configuration on this Genie S65 Straight Boom Lift provides sure-footed travel over dirt, gravel, and uneven terrain, helping operators position quickly and safely. Better traction reduces wheel spin and ruts, shortens setup time, and keeps productivity up even in challenging conditions.
• 8' platform increases productivity: The larger 8' platform offers more working room for personnel, tools, and materials compared to smaller baskets. Crews benefit from improved workflow, fewer up-and-down cycles for supplies, and the ability to stage multiple tools at height. For façade work, steel erection, HVAC changeouts, or electrical installs, the added platform width is a meaningful productivity advantage.
• Foam filled rough terrain tires: Foam filling adds weight, stability, and—most importantly—puncture resistance. On sites with debris, rebar, or fasteners, foam filled tires dramatically reduce downtime from flats. They also maintain a consistent tire profile under load for a steadier ride and platform feel, which operators appreciate when working at height.
• Straight boom lift efficiency: As a straight boom lift, the Genie S65 is purpose-built for fast, direct elevation and horizontal outreach, minimizing repositioning. Compared to articulating solutions in many scenarios, a straight boom can get you to the work faster with fewer moves, improving cycle times on repetitive tasks like siding, cladding, lighting, and signage.
• Genie build quality and support: Genie is one of the most trusted names in aerial work platforms. Parts availability, service literature, and dealer support help keep total cost of ownership in check. For fleet managers, a Genie S65 fits easily into existing maintenance programs and parts inventories.

Applications

Configured with Deutz Turbo Diesel power, 4WD, an 8' platform, and foam filled rough terrain tires, this Genie S65 Straight Boom Lift is a versatile choice across many sectors. General contractors use it for steel work, tilt-up construction, and façade installation. Mechanical and electrical contractors leverage the platform space for setting rooftop units or running conduit at elevation. Industrial facilities apply straight booms for maintenance, lighting, process piping access, and turnaround projects. In petrochemical, utility, and infrastructure environments, the combination of diesel power and 4WD allows efficient operation outdoors where electric power isn’t practical. Event, signage, and telecommunications firms value the fast positioning and platform room when working on masts, scoreboards, and large-format displays.

• Exterior construction and façade work where horizontal outreach reduces repositioning
• Industrial maintenance in plants, refineries, and terminals requiring rugged tires and reliable diesel power
• HVAC and mechanical setting where an 8' platform makes staging units and tools easier
• Electrical, lighting, and low-voltage installations at elevation without constant ground support
• Utility and infrastructure projects over gravel, dirt, and uneven grades where 4WD is essential

Ownership Value

Buying a used Genie S65 Straight Boom Lift through NLEQ is a smart way to capture performance without the steep depreciation of new equipment.

Foam filled tires reduce unplanned downtime. The 8' platform increases utilization because more tasks can be completed in a single setup.
