Sept. 28, 2010

Genie ArcPro275 is an arc-welding system that places a 275-amp stick/TIG welder (the Lincoln Electric Invertec V275S) conveniently outside the personnel platform of a Genie telescopic-boom aerial work platform and a 12,500-watt hydraulically driven generator at the base of the machine. The system provides both 208V, three-phase power for the welder and 110V, single-phase power for electrical tool use. For intermittent use, the generator is rated at 13,500 watts. The new system also fits Genie articulated-boom models with lift heights of 60 feet or more. Estimated list price: $11,700.
