Electric 40ft Genie Knuckle Boom

The Genie Z-40/23 N RJ Articulated Boom Lift, available for hire from Skyreach, is built around tight access constraints, running fully electric with a compact frame, minimal tailswing and a tight turning radius. What sets it apart is the rotating jib, giving you industry-leading horizontal rotation on top of standard vertical reach — a real advantage when you need to work around obstacles rather than repositioning the whole machine each time. Add a 180° hydraulic, self-levelling platform and AC drive for smooth, low-maintenance performance, and you've got a boom that's as easy on the operator as it is on the jobsite. Well matched to sensitive, congested or indoor environments like fit-outs, facilities maintenance and urban construction, it's the hire machine you need when quiet, emission-free operation and manoeuvrability are just as important as reach. Contact Skyreach to arrange equipment rental for your next project.
