Overview

The Genie S65 is one of the most sought-after straight boom lifts in the 60–70 foot class because it balances reach, stability, and practical serviceability. Its telescopic boom design is ideal when you need maximum horizontal and vertical access with straightforward controls and predictable handling. The combination of diesel power from Deutz and a 4WD drivetrain gives this lift the muscle and traction to navigate active construction sites, while foam filled tires and an oscillating axle help it maintain contact and stability on uneven surfaces. A factory jib adds the fine articulation operators appreciate for precise platform placement. With a 65' platform height and a 71' working height, this S65 is engineered to get crews and tools safely where they need to be.

Key Advantages and What They Mean on the Job

• Deutz diesel power: Deutz is known for durable, fuel-efficient diesel engines designed for heavy-duty duty cycles. In a straight boom lift application, that means steady torque for lift functions and consistent performance across long shifts. The diesel powerplant is built for rugged jobsite use and broad service support, helping minimize downtime and simplify maintenance planning.
• 4WD traction: Four-wheel drive gives the Genie S65 improved control and mobility on dirt, gravel, wet grass, compacted fill, and other uneven surfaces commonly found on construction projects. For operators, 4WD translates to confident positioning, reduced wheel spin, and better access to set up sites near the work.
• Foam filled tires: Foam filling greatly reduces the risk of flats, a major source of unexpected downtime. These tires maintain shape and load support even after punctures that would sideline air-filled tires. For contractors, that means more consistent daily productivity and fewer interruptions due to tire issues.
• Oscillating axle: An oscillating axle helps the machine keep all wheels engaged on uneven ground, improving stability and traction. This feature enhances operator confidence when traversing rutted areas or mild obstacles, and it supports a smoother approach to the work area.
• Jib for precise positioning: The jib gives operators an extra degree of articulation beyond the main boom, which is valuable when working around structural steel, fascia, or mechanical equipment. It enables fine adjustments without repositioning the entire machine, saving time and improving placement accuracy.
• 65' platform height and 71' working height: A 65' platform height provides access to mid-rise exterior elevations, roof edges, and higher interior bays. The 71' working height offers additional reach for tasks like installing facade elements, routing conduit, or performing exterior maintenance where safe clearance and ergonomic positioning are essential.
• Genie build quality: Genie straight boom lifts have a reputation for intuitive controls, robust componentry, and strong parts availability. That means operators ramp up quickly, while owners benefit from a machine that holds value and remains serviceable across many years of use.

Applications

This Genie S65 Straight Boom Lift is well-suited to a wide range of trades and sectors that require safe elevation, long reach, and reliable day-to-day productivity:

• General construction: Exterior cladding, framing, sheathing, sealants, and punch-list access across multi-story builds.
• Steel erection and industrial facilities: Access to columns, beams, mezzanines, and overhead utilities for install and maintenance.
• Commercial and institutional maintenance: Building envelope work, glazing, lighting, HVAC rooftop access, signage, and facade cleaning.
• Energy and utilities: Substation access, plant maintenance, and elevated inspections where straight-line reach is preferred.
• Infrastructure: Bridge approaches, sound walls, elevated signage, and site lighting installation and service.
• Property management and contractors: Routine exterior repairs and capital projects on warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing sites.

Ownership Value

For buyers focused on lifecycle cost, this 2018 Genie S65 offers a strong value proposition. The low 520 hours indicates limited wear relative to typical fleet averages, and the core components—Deutz diesel, 4WD, oscillating axle, and foam filled tires—are selected for performance and durability in real-world conditions. Fewer tire-related delays, improved traction, and precise jib articulation all contribute to crew efficiency and predictable schedules. Genie’s broad support network, straightforward serviceability, and wide parts availability further support long-term ownership. The straight boom lift design is also a staple across many trades, which helps preserve resale demand when you eventually rotate equipment. For rental yards, contractors, and industrial owners alike, this specific configuration is a proven, revenue-generating asset with broad cross-rental and project utility.
