Genie's Z-135/70 articulating boom aerial-work platform allows a machine with 135 feet of platform height to be transported on a single drop trailer without permits. The unit weighs 44,900 pounds and has stowed length of 42 feet 5 inches and height of 10 feet 1 inch. Its expanding axle system eliminates telescoping joints and reduces overall width to 8 feet 1 inch. The Z-137/70 offers the largest working envelope among articulating booms, providing 141 feet of maximum height, 69 feet 9 inches of horizontal outreach, and 75 feet 6 inches of up-and-over clearance. Estimated list price: $379,000.
