Spanish rental companies continue to put their trust in Genie “Super Booms”

Europlataformas 2000, Claveria Servicios, Grúas Estación, and Mainsa explain why they have chosen the U.S.-headquartered brand.

Spanish rental companies are continuing to expand their aerial work platform fleets, and both telescopic and articulating Genie super booms have become the machines of choice in various regions across the country due to their quality, reliability, and leading performance characteristics. With a comprehensive machine portfolio that includes a range of 26 to 43 meters in articulating boom models, and 28 to 57 meters in telescopic boom models, Genie continues to offer quality, sought after products in the aerial work platform segment, as can be evidenced by recent deliveries throughout all of Spain.

“Our products’ time-tested quality, reliability, and high residual value are key reasons our customers choose to purchase Genie, as are attributes of our machines, like range-of-motion charts, dimensions, weights, and ease of operation and transportation,” says Pedro García, Genie Sales Manager for Spain, Portugal, and Northeast Africa. “The service, proximity, and trust provided by a leading, world-class brand adds extra value that remains throughout each unit’s entire service life."

Europlataformas 2000, which is headquartered in Córdoba and specializes in personnel lifting applications in central and southern Spain, recently added several Genie SX-180 units to its fleet. The model is a telescopic boom lift with a working height of 57 meters, making it the tallest machine in the Genie range. And yet, it can be transported on a conventional truck. “The main factor that ultimately drove us to get these models was their ease of operation and transportation. They weigh less than 25 tonnes and can be transported without any special permits or restrictions here in Spain,” says José Antonio Saez, Managing Director of Europlataformas 2000.

In addition to the SX-180, the company has also acquired several SX-135 XC (Xtra Capacity) telescopic boom lifts, which have a working height of 43 m.

Rubén Lorenzo, Genie Sales Manager for central and southern Spain, explains: “There were a number of reasons why they decided to get this model, but it goes without saying that the versatility behind its telescopic jib played a key role in their decision. The Jib-Extend feature allows extension to a length of almost 10 meters, making it possible to get over eaves and other obstacles in work environments. It can also retract to just over 5 meters and be positioned below the boom in the stowed position, making transportation easier.”
