Choosing the Right Aerial Lift

When it comes to accessing elevated workspaces in construction, maintenance, and various other industries, aerial lifts play a crucial role in ensuring efficiency and safety. Genie, a trusted brand offered by Southeast Handling Systems, provides a range of boom lifts and scissor lifts designed to meet diverse job site requirements. In this article, we'll delve into the differences between these two types of lifts and explore the advantages they offer.


Boom Lifts:


Genie provides a range of boom lifts designed to meet diverse job site requirements.


1.     Telescopic Boom Lifts: Offering impressive vertical and horizontal reach, telescopic boom lifts are ideal for accessing elevated workspaces that require a wide range of motion. Whether it's reaching over obstacles or accessing high-rise structures, these lifts provide the versatility needed for various applications.

2.     Articulated Boom Lifts: With exceptional maneuverability around obstacles, articulated boom lifts are well-suited for navigating tight spaces and accessing elevated areas with limited access points. Their articulating arms allow for precise positioning, making them a preferred choice for tasks that demand flexibility.

3.     Trailer-Mounted Boom Lifts: For portability and quick setup, trailer-mounted boom lifts are an excellent option. These lifts can be easily transported to different job sites, providing on-demand access to elevated workspaces without the need for specialized equipment for transportation.

Scissor Lifts:


Genie's range of scissor lifts offer efficient and reliable vertical access solutions for various applications, whether it's on smooth, indoor surfaces or rugged outdoor terrains.


1.     Slab Scissor Lifts: Ideal for indoor applications, slab scissor lifts provide stable platforms for tasks such as ceiling repairs, equipment installation, and maintenance work. Their compact design and electric-powered operation make them suitable for use in confined spaces and environments where low noise and emissions are essential.

2.     Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts: Designed for outdoor use on uneven surfaces, rough terrain scissor lifts offer enhanced stability and mobility. Equipped with robust tires and rugged construction, these lifts can navigate rough terrain with ease, making them suitable for construction sites, industrial facilities, and outdoor maintenance tasks.


Genie's comprehensive range of aerial lifts provides solutions tailored to various applications, ensuring efficient and safe access to elevated workspaces. Whether you need the versatility of a boom lift or the stability of a scissor lift, Genie has you covered with reliable and innovative aerial lift options.
