A MASSIVE FRAMEWORK:
LOUIS VUITTON FOUNDATION
GENIE® Z™ BOOMS SUPPORTED THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE LOUIS VUITTON
FOUNDATION FOR CREATION IN PARIS, FRANCE
Contemporary art has found a new Parisian home. Housed
fittingly in a building designed by world-renowned architect
Frank Gehry, the Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation
opened its doors to the public in 2014, welcoming art lovers
and architecture buffs to a striking structure located in the
Bois de Boulogne, adjacent to the appealing attractions of
the Jardin d’Acclimatation. Perhaps the most notable feature
of the building is its 145,313 sq ft (13,500 m2) of glazed
surfaces, consisting of 3,430 individually shaped glass panes,
no two of which are alike, and whose installation posed a
formidable challenge.
Genie® Z™-135/70 boom: time-saving, work-easing kinematics.
8
FEATURES THAT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
A small army of Genie® diesel articulating booms worked
tirelessly at the Foundation’s site, performing numerous
tasks – including, of course, the extremely delicate
installation of the glass panels. Their fully proportional
controls, operated by an ultra-flexible magnetic-field
joystick, made these platforms particularly efficient for
jobs that required deft and precise manoeuvres amid a
forest of beams and girders, even when the booms were
extended to their maximum working height of 52.5 to
141 ft (16 to 43 m).

“An important aspect of our role is to give
a global voice to local needs so component
inventory and global vendor management
better support customers here.”

GENIE RUNS FOR MAJOR SPORTS EVENTS
IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL
The 2016 Olympic Games have been boosting the
investment and execution of large infrastructure
projects. A good example lies in the expansion and
modernization of the country’s main airports. Many
of these infrastructures rely on the performance
and reliability of Genie equipment.
MULTI TASK PERFORMANCE ALL DAY LONG
Genie® Z™-45/25J articulating booms are assisting in the
welding, painting and assembly of metal structures being
installed in the new terminals of Manaus (AM) and Foz do
Iguaçu (PR) airports.
Like the Z-45/25J, Genie® GS™-2646 electric scissor lifts
were chosen for Guarulhos (SP) and Galeão (RJ) airports
thanks to their ability to work hard all day long in confined
environments where engine emissions, noise and tyre
marks are not permissible.

PERFORMING IN ANTARCTICA:
HALLEY RESEARCH STATION
PROVIDING BRITISH ANTARCTIC SURVEY THE
PERFORMANCE REQUIRED IN EXTREME CONDITIONS
The Halley Research Station is one of British Antarctic Survey’s
(BAS) scientific research stations on and around the Antarctic
continentis used for gaining a global perspective on ozone
depletion, atmospheric pollution, sea level rise and climate
changes. Five Halley stations have been built since 1956. The first
four have all been buried by the immense snow accumulation and
crushed until they were uninhabitable. Halley V was built on steel
platforms that had to be raised annually to keep the structure
above the snow surface.
A design competition was launched in June 2004 to provide
an innovative design for the new Halley VI research station.
Construction started during the 2007-2008 research season.
“Genie Z-60/34 articulating booms had an advantage over other self-propelled
machines when operating on snow and ice. Equipped with Loegering® QTS track
system, wheel spin is eliminated, point loading and ground pressure are reduced
by spreading the weight of the machine over a larger track surface area. Having no
outriggers greatly reduced the overall work time of the task at hand, a great benefit
considering the extreme weather conditions.”
Gary Fearon, Managing Director at Central Access. (2010)
The solution: Genie® Z™-60/34 booms with four independent Loegering®
track systems working hard in tough conditions.

UNDERSCORED RELIANCE:
QINGDAO BEIHAI SHIPYARD
GENIE® BOOMS AT THE CORE AT
QINGDAO BEIHAI SHIPYARD, CHINA
“Genie® equipment has contributed
to the success of our company.
Plus, the after sales service
provides us with a particularly quick
response. Without the use of these
booms, the shipyard is equipped
with scaffolding and project time can
take several months. The application
of the booms has improved the
efficiency greatly and helps to
ensure workers’ safety as well.’’
Mr. Liang, department head
of BSIC. (2012)
16
If you trace the origins of aerial work platforms
(AWP) in the Chinese market, you will find
shipbuilding and Genie booms at the core.
One of the earliest companies to realize the
advantages of working at height safely was
Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co.,
Ltd (BSIC) based in the Qingdao, Shandong
Province. Over the years, BSIC has purchased
over 100 Genie telescopic booms which
underscores their reliance and trust in the Genie
name, including Genie S™-3200 and S™-3800
telescopic booms to meet the harsh conditions
of the shipbuilding environment in China.
SAFELY DESIGNED FOR A SEVERE
ENVIRONMENT
In 1996, BSIC was one of the first companies to
contact Genie about self-propelled booms for
shipbuilding.
The self-propelled booms offered the
advantages of jobsite versatility, safety and
efficiency that was readily adopted and helped
to play a role in the rapid growth of China’s
shipbuilding industry.
The S-3200 and S-3800 telescopic booms
(renamed Genie S-100HD and S-120HD)
equipped with high strength steel tubing,
extruded handrails, cushioned bumpers, steel
meshing, heavy-duty foot switches and steel
platform rotator protection to avoid damage
caused by salt air, welding slag and cutting
debris.

FASTER MAINTENANCE
OF GIANT OIL TANKS
ANTI-CORROSIVE COATING
ON MUDDY GROUND IN GERMANY
With thirty-five oil tanks that individually hold
up to 26 million US GAL (100 million litres) on a
18.3 million ft (1,700,000 m2) site, application of
an anti-corrosive coating to each structure was
costly and time consuming for Die Nord-West
Oelleitung GmbH, a holding facility that supplies
crude oil to several refineries across Germany.
With contractors on-site for up to a year, the
company needed equipment that would speed
the project’s completion on challenging terrain.
“We added Genie S-TraX models to our fleet as,
like elsewhere in Northern Europe, wet weather
and mud are common in Germany, driving
customer demand in many types of worksite.”
Ingo Horstmann of Ulferts & Wittrock, the
site’s rental equipment provider. (2011)
20
FINISHING THE JOB SOONER AND
BETTER
The solution was a Genie® S™-65 TraX
telescopic boom, featuring a working height
of 71 ft 5 in (21.86 m) and a four-point track
system with a low ground pressure of
9.67 lb/sq in (0.68 kg/cm2) made light work
of sodden and steep terrain.
During the painting process, the machine‘s
full height drive function enabled the workers
to reposition the S-65 TraX rapidly without
needing to descend the boom. This cut
man-hours considerably, compared to
a static solution.

HELPING
BIG MAN WALKING!
AN ARTICULATING BOOM HELPS
AN ARTICULATED GIANT IN SCOTLAND
“We approached Terex AWP
because Genie is a leading
brand in the access industry and
we needed a product we could
rely on due to the nature of live
performances.”
Jon Clarke, Associate
Producer for the project.
(2009)
Big Man Walking is a jaw dropping project created by
The Puppet Lab and Puppet Animation, Scotland. Funded
by the Scottish Arts Council ‘Inspire Fund’, the collaborative
group created an amazing 26 ft (8 m) high giant called the
Big Man. The giant walked with long strides across Scotland
visiting five different communities, each of which created its
own local event to celebrate the Big Man‘s arrival.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT MACHINE
Part of the performance involved the
dressing of the giant puppet, so the
production team turned to Terex AWP
for help in accessing different points
of the Big Man. After consultation, a
Genie® Z™-45/25J RT was selected.
This articulating Z™-boom’s working
height (52 ft 3 in/16.07 m) and up-andover clearance (24 ft/7.37 m) provided
the production crew with the flexibility
to access the puppet safely in a variety
of different settings.
The Big Man is pretty big: 8 m (26 ft) and for one day
only he lives his life on the street of Kirkcaldy.

INDIA’S FIRST
F1 GRAND PRIX
GENIE® TELEHANDLERS TAKE THE POLE POSITION
The first Indian Grand Prix was held in 2011 at the new Buddh International Circuit
in Greater Noida, India. It performed the highest viewer ratings of any Formula One
event to-date, with an estimated global television audience of 500 million.
For this special occasion, the event organisers required extremely reliable
handling equipment offering high precision positioning. A fleet of Genie hydrostatic
transmission telehandlers, including a compact GTH™-3007 were chosen for
the task.
“I would like to thank Genie for contributing
to the success of the inaugural F1 Grand
Prix of India. The telehandlers performed
flawlessly and the support provided by
Genie was excellent.”
Farhan Vohra, General Manager
of Operations at Jaypee Sports
International Ltd., owners of the Buddh
International Race Circuit. (2011)
“Sales sells the first
Genie, our service sells

CAREFUL WORK AT HEIGHT ON
OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE
TOUGH ENVIRONMENT FOR A TOUGH
GENIE® MACHINE IN BREMERHAVEN, GERMANY
Bremen-based Willenbrock Arbeitsbühnen (WAB)
GmbH & Co. KG was the first company in Europe to acquire
a Genie® S™-3800 telescopic boom lift. Shortly after receiving
the new machine, it was immediately rented for six months to
Bremerhaven-based BLG WindEnergy Logistics for inspection
work and to perform final acceptance testing on offshore wind
turbine tripods and components up to 197 ft (60 m).
DESIGNED PRIMARILY FOR THE SHIPYARD MARKET
This heavy-duty unit has a working height of 126 ft 6 in
(38.58 m), a horizontal reach of 73 ft (22.26 m), and a lift
capacity of 750 lb (340 kg). The S™-3800 comes equipped
with a Hostile Environment Kit as a standard feature. This
provides reliable protection of controls, platform structure,
and all cables from the harsh elements associated with
working on ships, ports and offshore locations.
The platform is not only designed to resist salt air and the
related heavy oxidation, but is also resistant to welding
slag, swarf, cutting and other falling debris. Joystick guards
and a sealed control box cover with an angled lid make the
controls not only remarkably user-friendly, but also help
ensure that they are effectively protected.
The BLG team was specifically trained to operate the Genie S™-3800 by
WAB, and currently uses the boom lift to perform welding, and inspect
welds and threaded joints on the tripods.

RECORD BREAKING HEIGHT FOR
LEGO 80 ANNIVERSARY
TH
OLYMPIC ACHIEVEMENT WITH A GENIE® BOOM
IN PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC
The year 2012 marked the 80th anniversary of the first
Lego toy, put together in Denmark. To celebrate this
special occasion, in September Lego arranged a supply
of more than half a million of its legendary bricks to be
delivered to the center of Prague. The mission: Breaking
the record of the highest Lego tower built earlier in
Britain (105 ft/32 m). Maybe it only beat the older tower
by inches, but it beat anyway!
“A half century of aerial experience
is a rare commodity, but it is
‘standard equipment‘ when you
are with the Genie team.”
10,000 CHILDREN WORKED ON THE GROUND
SUPPORTED IN THE AIR BY A GENIE Z™-135/70
Lego required an aerial work platform offering an
impressive working height range to hit the record.
The Z-135/70 was the perfect solution. Equipped with
an articulated jib providing smooth movements and a
robust, reliable structure to avoid rocking the platform
close to the tower’s peak.
Finally, an exceptional, record-breaking building came to
stand out of the Prague skyline: the Lego tower was built
in four days and reached 106 ft (32.30 m) high, beating
the previous record by inches, an Olympic achievement!

VALUABLE PARTNERS
FOR EASYJET
PERFORMING ON AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE
AT LUTON AIRPORT, UK
The maintenance hub at Luton Airport is a large aircraft
hanger where easyJet engineers perform ‘E’ checks.
These checks are scheduled for each aircraft every
600 hours and require an overnight downtime.
Luton Airport, the original easyJet base, had been
used historically to maintain a fleet of Boeing aircraft,
but recently the airline embarked on a project to
include Airbus aircraft into the hangar
there for maintenance.
“Receiving a personal message
of thanks from a customer is the
greatest of all achievements.”

With a working height of 52 ft 2 in (15.92 m) the Z™-45/25J
Bi-Energy articulating boom was selected for its excellent
positioning and up-and-over clearance 22 ft (6.73 m)
capabilities as well as its ability to work seamlessly in bienergy mode (DC + diesel generator). This enables engineers
to work for more than 8 hours and reach over the wings to
access the tail fin and inspect the length of both the Boeing
and Airbus aircraft from above.

“The Genie SX-180 boom, which we call ‘The Monster
Lift’ was instrumental in the assembly of the tower
legs themselves, but one of the most crucial areas of
the construction involved setting the wheel’s ‘spokes’
into the hub or axle.”
Aric Dreher, Project Manager, Cianbro. (2014)
A SUPER BOOM FOR
THE “CAPITAL WHEEL”
GENIE® SX-180 BOOM LIFT
AT WORK IN WASHINGTON, D.C., USA
Cianbro Construction, a well-known contractor for handling
projects that are a bit out of the ordinary, erected the “Capital
Wheel” in National Harbour, a multi-use waterfront development
just south of Washington, D.C. At 175 ft (53 m) high, this
structure boasts some of the most iconic vantage points
imaginable, offering views of the White House, Capitol building,
National Mall and Arlington National Cemetery.
ACCESSING PLACES OTHER MACHINES COULD NOT
With construction of the base completed, the structure’s tower
legs were erected, followed by the installation of other ride
components such as the axle, spokes, ring beams and lights.
This pre-determined construction sequence — and being
located at the end of a 600 ft (182 m) pier — essentially dictated
the manner in which the balance of the project could proceed.
While the actual height of the tower legs and components to be
assembled could, in a normal setting, be reached using one of
Cianbro’s existing standard-sized booms, access was another
matter entirely: Only two spots were left from which a boom
could operate to have access to both sides of the wheel. And on
one of those sides the machine is set back more than 85 ft (26 m)
and needs to reach 90 ft (27 m) into the air over the top and in
between the tower legs — far more than a conventional piece of
equipment could achieve.
With its 186 ft (57 m) working height, the Genie SX-180 boom
filled that gap and its impact on the job site was felt immediately.

MONSTER JAM TOUR
GENIE® TELEHANDLERS PLAY A MAJOR ROLE
Each year, Monster Jam electrifies crowds all over
the world with breath taking stunts performed by a
custom-designed fleet of gigantic, powerful trucks.
The machines are pushed up to, and frequently beyond,
turbo-engineered physical limits to outperform
competitors and show off the driver’s skills.

KEEPING THE SHOW RUNNING
On the UK leg of the tour, a pair of Genie® GTH™-4013EX telehandlers
were put to work, selected for their considerable lift capacity and agile
manoeuvrability. Their mission was to help the event crew construct and
dismantle giant obstacle circuits of piled scrap vehicles, in addition to
keeping the show running during each event’s mayhem.
Under the watchful eyes of thousands of spectators, the crew worked to
reposition the obstacle course, and sometimes the trucks themselves,
weighing up to four tonnes and costing more than $ 250,000 US
(240 000 €) each.

BACK TO ‘SHIP-SHAPE’ FOR THE
TRANS-EUROPEAN CANAL
A HIGH SCORING GENIE TEAM PROVES
EXTRAORDINARY AGILITY IN GERMANY
Commercial boat traffic on the River Main, which
is used to transport more than 100 million US tons
(90 million MT) of goods annually, was shut-down
in 2012 as part of a 3.3 million US $ (3 million €)
refurbishment and maintenance project on the
Trans-European water way between the North and
Black Sea.
After 60 years of continuous use to control
a 29.5 ft (9 m) deep, 984 ft (300 m) long and
39 ft (12 m) wide water channel, three sets of
obsolete lock gates, with a weight of about
20 US tons (18 MT) per section, were exchanged.
Specially constructed replacement gates were
positioned by a crane, which was also used to lift
three Genie access models into the channel to
secure and finalise the work.
“The innovative design features,
serviceability and durable quality of Genie
work platforms will undoubtedly reinforce
our company‘s reputation.”
Herr Möller, of rental company
Möller Manlift. (2012)

TIGHT TIME SCHEDULE FOR VARIOUS TASKS
Construction company Maschinenfabrik Thale GmbH had
a tight time schedule and needed to complete several
different kinds of work within the drained channel.
The GS™-2669RT was used for electric, welding and
sealing tasks and work on the giant new lock gates.
Thanks to the telescopic S™-45 and articulating
Z™-45/25J RT and their respective tight 10 ft 6 in (3.23 m)
and 15 ft 7 in (4.8 m) turning radiuses, the machines
were able to maneuver easily at different heights inside
the dry lock to access areas that would otherwise have
been impossible to reach. Offering a horizontal reach of
37 ft (11.2 m), the ability of the S-45 to reach below grade
also proved to be a strong benefit.

TIGHT ACCESS AND TOUGH TIMELINE
FOR A GENIE® ZX™-135/70 IN AUSTRIA
Obermair Transporte-Erdbau GmbH
recommended a Genie ZX-135/70 articulating
boom lift to help painting specialist Daniel Zauner
and his team repair the belfry and restore the
paintwork of the southern tower of the walled
mediaeval town of Vöcklabruck in Upper Austria.
To this day, the 118 ft (36 m) tall southern gate
tower, and a similar edifice on the opposite side
of an enclosed square, are the only means of
access to the town’s historic center. The narrow
8 ft 6 in (2.60 m) entrance added challenges to
this historical renovation jobsite. On this particular
application, besides the height and outreach
required to perform the task, the machine‘s
dimensions were essential to ensure access
through the tower‘s tight entrance.
“The ZX-135/70 boom lift provided an ideal
solution that would have been impossible to
handle using a truck mounted boom, or other
similar types of equipment.”

CHALLENGING A TILT-WALL
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
BRINGING VALUE ON A CONGESTED SITE
IN CALIFORNIA, USA
Steel contractor CW Services faced an extremely
challenging tilt-wall construction project in
Torrance, south of Los Angeles, CA, USA. Faced
with daunting access issues, the company
turned to American Rentals that provided a
series of articulating boom lifts from Genie. CW
officials report that, with as many as five different
Genie® booms onsite at once – four of them
articulating models – they were able to tackle
some critical facets of the construction, keeping
the project moving along and their reputation for
quality, on-time work, intact.
“During each facet of the project, the
Genie Z-booms were a key component,
largely because of the accessibility they
provided.
The design of the boom with the jib
on the end of it, made the process of
reaching in and getting around things
much easier than we’d imagined.”
Reuben Salcedo, CW Services’
Project Manager. (2012)
48
GENIE® Z™-45 AND Z™-60 ARTICULATING BOOMS
PERFORMED BOTH INDOORS AND OUTDOORS
What made this job challenging was the fact that it
involved placing and bolting or welding more than
1,200 separate I-beams. With those in place, the tilt wall
sections were raised and held in place with shoring.
Then, the operators had to begin bolting and doing a
series of critical full-pin welds which involved coming in
from the back through the shoring. So, during the early
phases of construction, most of the work was done on
the inside of the structure rather than the outside.

GREAT TEAM WORK IN VIETNAM
In November 2012, the Ministry of Transport in Vietnam
announced the project of building a 8.3 mile (13.4 km) road
tunnel through the Ca Mountain Pass in the south-central
provinces of Phu Yen and Khanh Hoa. Estimated cost:
690 million US $ (617 million €).
Purpose: To support the development of industrial zone,
big-scale economic hub and tourism site projects in the
2 regions. It also contributes to minimize accidents on
Highway 1A and to save at least 10 million US $ (8.9 million €)
in transport costs each year.

WORKING AS A NON-STOP TEAM
After the main construction work was completed, the next stage was
the installation of mechanical and electrical components inside the
structure.
One of the main jobs was the positioning of air ducts. Due to their huge
size and to the complexity of the installation, one Genie telehandler and
two Genie booms were used to complete the task together.
Four operators were working on the booms, while assisted with another
one in the telehandler. The machines had to coordinate their efforts in a
tight space.

HELPING BUILD
“THE KELPIES”
EIGHT GENIE® BOOM LIFTS
PERFORM IN SCOTLAND
In 2013, Easi UpLifts, owners of one of the
largest fleets of Genie® equipment in the UK and
Ireland, provided its customer SH Structures
with a brigade of eight Genie articulating and
telescopic boom lifts to help build “The Kelpies.”
Created by Glasgow artist Andy Scott, the
monumental 98 ft 4 in (30 m) high, 600 t, twoheaded horse sculpture is part of The Helix, a
huge parkland project connecting communities
between Falkirk and Grangemouth in Scotland.
Thanks to their four-wheel drive and four-wheel
steer option and high ground clearance, the eight
Genie boom lifts maneuvered rapidly together
among a considerable number of obstacles to
fetch and fix the bolts used to hold the intricate
maze of girders firmly together.
“Our customer’s operators were so impressed
that they would not have wanted to be without
them. They also remarked on the smoothness of
the platform’s movements and the high precision
of the machines proportional control system
which enabled them to progress efficiently and
rapidly with seamless results.”

of 26.6 ft (8.12 metres), was selected.
‘FLAT FORMAT’ PERFORMANCE TO GO
ANYWHERE AROUND THE BUILDING
With a weight of 750 lb (340 kg), it was suitable for any
studio or performance space, as it could be pushed
into elevators, and over light floor-load areas installed
throughout the building for ‘flat format’ performances.
Simple design and controls made the Genie AWP-20S
easy for any trained MAC staff member to set-up and
operate in minutes, including maintenance personnel
for lighting and electrical work, and facilities staff who
installed and cleaned exhibits and signage. The stage
crew also used the full working height of the machine
to construct theater installations and maintain the
venue’s state-of-the-art professional lighting and sound
systems that had been awkward to position and service
using ladders.

MAINTAINING HIGH STANDARDS
FOR LUFTHANSA
TWO GENIE® NARROW ELECTRIC ARTICULATING
BOOM LIFTS CHOSEN FOR THEIR PERFORMANCE,
HUNGARY
Aircraft maintenance involves carrying out swift checks directly
on the tarmac, and a wide range of heavier, longer-term duties
in the hangar. All of these activities need to be performed to
extremely high technical and safety standards on a strict time
schedule. For Lufthansa, the Genie® Z™-34/22N combines the
high level of performance that the company was looking for.
HIGHLY MANEUVERABLE AND PRODUCTIVE
Featuring a narrow system width of just 58 inches (1.47 m),
the Genie Z-34/22N boom lift notably combines zero tailswing
and the ability to maneuver rapidly in confined areas.
Well-suited to aircraft maintenance, an articulating boom
and rotating jib provide fast, easy access in conjunction with
a working height of up to 40 ft 6 in (12.52 m), a maximum
horizontal reach of 22 ft 3 in (6.78 m) with an up-and-over
clearance of 15 ft 2 in (4.62 m).
“We first started renting Genie lifting equipment with Huntraco about nine years
ago. For us, the Genie Z-34/22N articulating boom lift proved to be both fast,
highly maneuverable and safe, which is precisely what we need. The expert sales
and service support provided by Huntraco was also an important factor in our
purchase decision.”
Krisztián Radó, Tools, GSE & Calibration Specialist and Lift Equipment
Administrator for Lufthansa in Budapest. (2013)
ACCELERATING THE ERECTION OF A
SHIP-TO-SHORE GANTRY CRANE
GENIE® SX-180 PREMIERE IN AUSTRALASIA
Rich Rigging, a New Zealand based company, is an acknowledged expert
in the assembly, erection, disassembly, relocation and maintenance
of ship-to-shore gantry cranes. Even with an impressive specialised
equipment inventory of cranes, access equipment and general heavy
rigging equipment Rich Rigging was still encountering logistical challenges
with the access and reach needed for many facets of this specialized work.
“Genie has a proud and
impressive history. We‘re
a brand built on integrity,
innovation, quality and our
ability to meet customer
needs. Now, we are building
upon this rich tradition and
taking our brand to new
heights.”
Genie Product Management, Redmond USA.

NEW REACH, NEW BENEFITS,
NEW ACHIEVEMENTS
With a specific project in mind, the assembly of a
new ship-to-shore gantry crane at Lyttelton, Port of
Christchurch (LPC), Rich Rigging ordered a Genie
SX-180 boom with the Genie New Zealand distributor,
Youngman Richardson & Co.
The Genie SX-180 boom lift was central to the safe
work method detailed for this contract and the task
of putting the 1700 pieces of the crane together with
tight deadlines was no small feat.
On the work site, the operators found the unit easy to
manoeuvre as the SX-180 has the capability to move
while fully extended.
Immediately after the machine arrived on site, the pace
of the crane assembly accelerated and the project was
completed on schedule.

SERVICING CRANES AT
LONDON GATEWAY
PLAYING A KEY ROLE IN GANTRY CRANE UPTIME, UK
Just 25 miles from London, London Gateway is situated in the
core of the United Kingdom’s consumer market and is operated
by DP World, an international marine terminal operator. London
Gateway combines a deep-sea container port with Europe’s
largest logistics park, using world-leading technology to increase
productivity and reduce costs. The gantry cranes are designed
to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will be able to
handle 3.5 million TEU (standard unit for describing a ship’s cargo
capacity) a year. One of the first Genie® ZX™-135/70 articulating
boom lifts is playing a key role at this unique site and will be used
on the 24 giant gantry cranes for which uptime is fundamental to
service ships at the London Gateway.
“Space was not an issue on the vast site with
2,700 meters of quay and 9 million square foot of
logistics park. But the adaptability on a high capacity
and busy location, was another appealing feature of
the ZX-135/70 unit, enabling it to meet multiple and
specific heavy jobsite requirements.”

& Mobile Equipment Manager. (2014)

GANDHI’S PORTRAIT
SMILES DOWN ON NEW DELHI
THE TALLEST GANDHI MURAL IN INDIA
In January 2014, India’s capital was transformed into an open air art gallery as
artists from all over the world converged in a six-week street art festival. The
slogan of the New Delhi police department being “shanti, seva, nyaay” (peace,
service, justice), when the artists submitted their proposal to senior police officials,
it was felt that a giant portrait of Gandhi would be appropriate.
German graffiti artist Hendrik Beikirch (also known as ECB), and up-and-coming
Delhi-based artist Anpu Varkey, took on the challenge of painting a gigantic black
and white portrait of Mahatma Gandhi onto a 50x12 m (150 x 38 ft) bare wall
overlooking New Delhi’s Police headquarters.
“After being a Genie customer for many years
I developed a passion for the Genie blue products
and the brand itself. When an opportunity arose to
join the team I seized it.
I love being part of the Genie team, I am proud of
the products we sell and I love the Genie blue.”
Regional Sales Manager, Australia.

GENIE® S™-125 LIFT, A SAFE AND HIGHLY
MANEUVERABLE SOLUTION
Designed to meet the challenges of some of today’s
highest construction and industrial applications, particularly
in congested areas, the Genie S-125 telescopic boom
lift proved to be a solution well suited for the artists’
high-reaching task. The four-wheel drive and steer
capabilities of the S-125 lift combined with the high vertical
and horizontal reach required to work close to the high wall
safely helped overcome the obstacles of the confines of the
wall‘s location, heavy traffic and crowds of curious on-lookers.
For five solid days, elevated above the hustle and bustle
of the city beneath them, the spacious platform of the
Genie S-125 boom lift provided the artists all the room
they needed to move around freely among the many pots
of paint, ink and aerosols required to complete
their masterpiece.
The S-125 lift features a long
telescopic boom that can be
extended or retracted in less
than three minutes.

AT WORK FOR THE 2010
FOOTBALL WORLD CUP
THE QUEEN BEE OF THE ARENAS
IN SOUTH AFRICA
The most breath-taking events were set at
the newly-built Green Point Stadium in Cape
Town, host to the competition semi-finals, and
the newly-reconstructed ‘Soccer City’ outside
Johannesburg, which witnessed the electrifying
first and final matches. From the initial stage of
the projects, the site managers were conscious
of the difficulty in accessing work areas on these
very large structures, with capacities of 70,000
and 90,000 respectively, and the need
for specialized equipment.
“The project required a combination of
height, reach and manoeuvrability that
made the Genie Z-135/70 boom the ideal
machine for the job.”
George Landsberg, Managing Director
of Hi-Reach Manlift (Pty) Ltd. (2010)

HIGH REACH AND AGILITY
MADE THE DIFFERENCE
The constraints of the environment meant a work
platform was needed that could go “up and over,” in
addition to providing an up reach of over 131 ft (40 m)
required to scale the stadia exteriors.
The Genie® Z™-135/70 model selected to tackle
this feat offered the largest working envelope in the
articulating boom market. Aided by its distinctive
Jib-eXtend™ feature, to provide the fully extended
height of 141 ft (42.9 m), horizontal outreach of
69 ft 9 in (21.3 m) and up-and-over clearance
of 75 ft 6 in (23 m), the work platform could be
positioned through gaps, even at the highest points
of the structure, to rivet the external panels to
the building.
