Electric 45ft Genie Knuckle Boom

The Genie Z-45 FE Electric Knuckle Boom gives you two machines in one. Run it in all-electric mode for a full day's emissions-free operation on a single charge, or switch to hybrid mode for up to a week of runtime on a single tank of diesel — ideal for sites without easy access to power or fuel. With 4WD and 45% gradeability, plus a full-time active oscillating axle, this boom lift maintains traction on rough and uneven terrain without breaking a sweat. The proportional controls give you precise, smooth positioning at height, while the 1.52m articulating jib lets you fine-tune your position to get right where you need to be — up, over, and around obstacles. Ideal for construction, maintenance and industrial projects needing reliable outdoor boom access with hybrid capability, the Genie Z-45 is available to hire from Skyreach.
