The Genie® S®-85 XC™ is the ultimate telescopic solution for projects that demand extreme height and heavy-duty lifting. Offering a staggering 27.91m working height and 22.71m of horizontal reach, this boom is engineered to handle the toughest industrial tasks. With Genie’s Xtra Capacity™ technology, the S-85 XC features a dual-capacity design—supporting an unrestricted 300kg and a restricted 454kg. This means up to three operators can work at height with a full complement of heavy tools and materials. Equipped with a 1.52m articulating jib and active oscillating axles, the S-85 XC provides the precision and terrainability required to navigate complex job sites while maintaining a rock-solid work platform.
The Genie S-85 XC Telescopic Boom Lift, available from Sleator Plant, is a high-performance machine designed to tackle the most ambitious vertical challenges. Boasting a maximum working height of 27.91m, it is the go-to choice for cladding, large-scale glazing, and bridge inspections across the UK. The “XC” designation signifies its enhanced lifting power, allowing it to perform a wider range of heavier tasks than standard booms. By enabling more materials to be lifted in a single trip, the S-85 XC significantly boosts site efficiency and reduces the total number of lift cycles required.
Manoeuvrability and safety are at the core of the Genie S-85 XC design. Despite its size, the machine features a full-time active oscillating axle and positive traction 4WD, ensuring it maintains contact with the ground on the roughest terrain. Its innovative automatic envelope control technology automatically adjusts the boom’s range of motion based on the platform load, providing a smooth and secure operating experience. With 360° continuous turntable rotation and a 160° rotating platform, the S-85 XC offers the flexibility needed to position operators exactly where the work is, even in congested or difficult-to-access areas.
Featuring 4WD and a 45% gradeability, the S-85 XC offers exceptional site mobility, moving across rough, unpaved construction sites with the ease of a much smaller machine.
Built with a reinforced boom structure and advanced load-sensing technology, the S-85 XC provides a secure, level platform for three operators even at its full 27.91m reach.
Engineered for the rigours of heavy industrial use, the S-85 XC utilises a high-torque diesel engine and weather-resistant controls to ensure consistent performance in all UK weather conditions.
