Articulating Booms - Bi-Energy and Electric
Terex offers Bi-Energy and Genie DC equipment which are emission-free and provide quiet operation for the most sensitive work applications. For instance, in industrial situations where the machine should travel significant distances, the Genie bi-energy system combines the benefits and flexibility of a diesel powered generator with a 48 Volt DC machine.
Important characteristics which this combination provides is up, over and out positioning capabilities for complete flexibility. Additionally, the zero tail-swing provided by most units, combined with the tight turning radius offers easy maneuvering through narrow aisles and standard doors.
Proportional lift controls and drive controls also provide precise boom positioning and smooth drive performance. The 48V DC electric drive system offers quiet and emission free operation suitable for sensitive settings. There are jib boom models on the market to function with an extra working range for specific tasks. On non-jib models, there is a self-leveling platform that rotates to either side at an angle of 90 degrees.
Articulating Booms - Diesel Engine
The Terex Genie is great for industrial applications and outdoor construction applications. This particular model offers engine-powered articulating Z booms which combine out, over and up positioning capabilities and extreme lifting versatility overall. The outreach offered by this particular type is the best in the market.
The diesel engines with articulating booms offer zero tail-swing on most models and have a tight turning radius. These machinery are ideal for maneuvering in confined locations. Additionally, they provide supreme power, excellent torque and terrain and grade maneuverability. The diesel engines are quiet overall as well. The majority of models have full time drive positive drive traction system and active oscillating axle to offer great flexibility on surfaces that are rough and uneven.
High ground clearance is offered in 2 or 4 wheel drive models, whilst the rough terrain models are desirable for any company's fleet. The jib boom models are available and provide extra range capabilities. On non-jib models, the self-leveling platform also rotates to 90 degrees on these models too.
