S-80 and S-85 Telescopic Booms

Genie Industries introduces newly redesigned versions of its popular S^TM-80 and S^TM-85 telescopic booms. The significant changes on the S^TM-80 and S^TM-85 booms include: fixed width axles; an exclusive virtual pivot boom assembly; faster elevation time; improved software design for smoother, more comfortable operation; and intuitive operator and serviceability features. The fixed width axles give the machines an 8'2" total width both on the trailer and on the jobsite. They can be easily transported over the road without a special permit on a standard equipment trailer. New to the S^TM-80 and S^TM-85 telescopic booms is the exclusive virtual pivot boom design, the primary benefit of which is its ability to keep the weight of the boom over the chassis' center of gravity as it elevates. This eliminates the need for extra counterweight and keeps the overall weight of the machine down for better use in more sensitive terrains. Other significant updates on the S^TM-80 and S^TM-85 further enhance the machine's serviceability and maintenance. The former shotgun style cylinder boom assembly has been replaced with a single cylinder and sequencing cable system that is lighter weight and less costly to repair. Many of the hydraulic hoses on the swing chassis have been replaced with hard lines that provide consistent routing, longer life and easier maintenance.




Genie Industries offers redesigned versions of its S-80 and S-85 telescopic booms. Fixed-width axles allow for an 8-ft. 2-in. total width, both on the trailer and on the jobsite. A virtual pivot boom design provides the ability to keep the weight of the boom over the chassis' center of gravity as it elevates. This eliminates the need for extra counterweight and keeps the overall weight of the machine down for better use in more sensitive terrains. The elevation time from fully stowed to fully elevated is decreased to 68 seconds. An improved control system with boom angle sensors gives operators a comfortable feel with smooth action, especially at the top height of elevation. A patented active oscillating axle provides better traction in rough terrain. The former shotgun-style cylinder boom assembly has been replaced with a single cylinder and sequencing cable system that is lighter weight and less costly to repair. Many of the hydraulic hoses on the swing chassis have been replaced with hard lines that provide consistent routing, longer life and easier maintenance.
