Genie Boom Lift S-40 to S-85 (telescopic aerial work platforms) – the model number approximates working height in feet: engine output 2.2 to 58 kW, operating weight 4.6 to 22.7 t, basket capacity 227 to 272 kg
The "Genie Boom Lift" bucket on SpecCodex covers 38 live-listed models from Genie's telescopic aerial-work-platform range. The "S" marks the telescopic boom series, as opposed to the articulating "Z" series. The number that follows approximates maximum working height in feet, though it is not identical to it: according to manufacturer spec sheets, the S-40 reaches a working height of 46.6 ft, the S-60 reaches 66.7 ft, and the S-85 reaches 90.9 ft — the model number is always lower than the actual figure, because working height adds roughly 2 m of reach for a standing operator on top of platform height.

The recorded figures show the range: engine output 2.2 to 58 kW (mixing diesel and electric drives), operating weight 4,604 to 22,657 kg. For a subset of models a basket capacity of 227 to 272 kg is also on file, typical for this class's standard baskets.
For a used telescopic lift, condition of the telescope sections matters most (slide pads, wear, smooth extension under load), along with the hydraulic cylinders for lift and tilt staying leak-free, and a function test of platform levelling across the full extension range. Check the inspection log too — the annual statutory inspection.
In short: S means telescopic boom, the number is roughly the working height in feet but not exactly. Exact working height, outreach, and basket capacity always come from that specific model's data sheet.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
