If you don’t want to use generator engine with noise, just turn on this mode and operate as normal electric boom lifts. 2.Hybrid mode: While the boom lift works by diesel engine, the battery can be charged by the generators inside up to 80% of capacity and can run for 4 hours. You can switch machine to this mode when the battery is low, or when it needs to boost the power by using engine. Refer explanation video from Genie: https://www.genielift.com/en/aerialpros/genie-hybrid-system Charge battery quickly. More powerful machine which uses 30% less energy than a hydraulic-driven. Low emission, low noise. Use generator & battery system at the same time. In ‘all-electric’ mode it offers a full workday of emissions-free run time on a single battery charge. In ‘hybrid’ mode, it offers one week of run time with a single tank of diesel. 4WD operation: 35% faster, 45% gradeability for superior terrain ability (climb better than diesel power, ground control). Dual parallelogram and fully proportional controls for precise boom positioning and smooth performance. 1.52 m articulating jib with a 135° vertical rotation to accurately position workers. Genie Fast Mast™ boom system allows operators to descend and retrieve materials and quickly return to working height. *The Hybrid gives you a big benefit in 2 ways: – First, you onboard and engine can charge the battery. This keeps the machines performing at a high level without stopping to recharge. -Second, you can use engine and battery at the same time, depending on your purpose and working environment requirement. *The Hybrid will travel to rough terrain and upgrade even faster than the previous DC machine. *Even in the dead battery, the engine in AC generator capable of providing enough power for rupturing performance. This Hybrid articulating boom lift model is a great asset for: All construction sites Sport stadiums Shopping malls Manufacturing plants And even difficult walking areas where low noise level and clean performance are required For example: Your working area is around one 20 meters building with 45% of slope outside, weights 25% less indoor, low emission and low noise required because it’s near a hospital. In this case, we need a boom lift that is both powerful, compact, and operates smoothly => Z-60/37 FE is a perfect choice. It depends on the rental term, site location and transportation fee… Please send us your information and inquiry, we will give you a quote soon!

2024/03/18 Product Information: Genie® Tracked Boom Lift – A solution for working in rough and complex terrains.; Boom Lifts are familiar to us, but boom lifts with “tracks“ design are very new and less popular in the Vietnamese market. In this article, we will introduce the Tracked Boom Lift from brand Genie® (Genie® TraX Boom Lift) and our rental service. Every invention comes into existence with a purpose to solve existing problems. The same goes for the design and production of the Tracked Boom Lift. In fact, there are many situations where it is necessary to use a Boom Lift in complex, harsh weather and terrain conditions. If you encounter mud, gravel, sand, snow, dampness, rough ground … it is not possible to use boom lifts with traditional wheels to ensure labor safety. Experts in Aerial Work Platforms realized that. For example: You need a boom lift to service a telecommunications tower. These towers are often located on a hill or mountain and accessed via unpaved roads. With dry and compact dirt on the road, wheeled lifts can get the job done just fine. But after rainy days, the ground can be soft and flooded. In this case, using Tracked Boom Lift is more suitable and safer. Here are some other conditions: Gravel and fine sand — Because of their broader weight distribution, tracks should be the choice for these surfaces, which can be found in sand and gravel pits, oil and gas sites and elsewhere. Rough, unfinished environments — For example, a construction site that’s not graded and leveled. Tracks are great at climbing up and over obstacles. Genie® tracked boom lifts are particularly good because they feature our TraX™ independent four-point system — each track can independently operate, so they individually grip and climb over obstacles. The skid steer-style tracks some brands offer — with a single, full-length track on each side of the machine — don’t go over rough, uneven environments nearly as well, and the machine will rock more. Slopes on rough, hilly terrain — Genie® tracked machines offer great gradeability (40-45% depending on the model). Remember, this is with the boom in a stowed position. Any time you’re elevated, you need to be on firm, level ground. You can watch the below video: (Cre: https://www.genielift.com/en/aerialpros/boom-lift-tires-vs.-tracks-which-is-right-for-you) The TraX Boom Lift series is specially designed by Genie® to address challenging terrain and weather conditions. Unlike traditional boom lifts with wheels, the TraX series features an innovative track design that enhances its terrain ability. If you need a solution for working at height in seemingly inaccessible areas, then TraX Boom Lift is the best choice. Primary Features: Benefits: Four-point QTS Trax system Excellent traction for traveling in mud, sand, snow, gravel, water and turf +/- 23 degrees of track swivel Easy loading onto trailers and excellent tracking in rough terrain providing smooth, comfortable riding. 0.44 m W x 1.02 m L footprint dimensions Provides 104 lugs in constant ground contact for superior ‘crawling’ power. Thick rubber track It can be used on weak surfaces without altering the shape or affecting the structure of the flat surface. 3.7 km/h (2.3 mph) maximum drive speed Good productivity. 4WD, active oscillating axles, positive traction hydraulics Same hydraulic circuits and active oscillating system as other Genie® S™-60/65 booms lower cost of ownership and make service easy. Traditional front wheel steering with 30-degree steer angle Steers are like a traditional boom with less damage to surfaces. Allows working close and parallel to walls. Please refer to this video from Youtube: So, we have highlighted the outstanding advantages of the Genie TraX Boom Lift that help you easily imagine the utility of using it. Remember, the Tracked Boom Lift is all about increased terrain ability, allowing you to work anywhere all year-round! There are few companies which provide this model in the Vietnamese market. Because the use of boom lifts is mainly in plain and urban areas, where the terrain is flat or not very complicated. However, many remote and mountainous areas in Vietnam are gradually springing up many construction sites to build resorts, security and defense zones, wind farms… Using a Tracked Boom Lift is an extremely reasonable solution for these projects. We can deliver Tracked Boom Lifts to some areas such as Quang Ninh, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Quang Binh, Daklak, Kontum, Gia Lai… – the areas suitable for using this boom lift type. Please note that NISHIO will ship equipment from our Hanoi, Da Nang, Quang Nam, Dong Nai branches. So that, you should rent boom lifts for a long time by week – month – year to minimize transportation costs. Currently in Vietnam, we rental the Telescopic Tracked Boom Lift model S-65 TraX (brand Genie®) which offer dual lift capacity and increased efficiency on construction and industrial job sites. This model comes equipped with features like full-time active oscillating axles, chassis tilt sensors, and automatic envelope control technology, making them versatile and reliable for various work scenarios. Specifications: Max Working Height 71 ft | 21.81 m Max Horizontal Reach 54 ft 2 in | 16.51 m Below Ground Reach 8 ft 8 in | 2.65 m Platform Capacity 660 lb Unrestricted, 1,000 lb Restricted | 300 kg Unrestricted, 454 kg Restricted Machine Width and Length 8 ft 2 in, 32 ft | 2.49 m, 9.76 m Machine Weight 13,098 kg For more details, you can learn about Genie® S-65 TraX Telescopic Boom Lift on Genie® website. At first glance, it may seem that the cost of renting a Tracked Boom Lift will be higher than that of a wheeled one. However, as we mentioned above: Using a Tracked Boom Lift can increase productivity, improve work safety, and save time. Suppose you try to use a wheeled boom lift in a complex construction environment: – You must operate boom lift at an extremely slow speed => require additional time. – You would need to level the ground for safety => require additional labor and equipment. In this case, using a Tracked Boom Lift can help reduce the number of rental days based on ...

2023/08/02 Product Information: AWP equipment (Scissor lift and Boom lift…) for rent in Vietnam; Below are some benefits that we can list to you: Saving cost and time: This is best advantage that equipment rental service can bring to your business. If you choose purchase brand new machine, you must to pay a big initial budget and spend a long time for preparing the complicate documents by yourself. Flexible and diverse: It’s easy to understand. Sometimes you need to use more than one unit of equipment. Therefore, your company can not buy a new one immediately and do not have enough budget to do that. At that time, of course, you should find out a rental machine supplier. Safety and high-quality machine: If you purchase a machine, you may choose the used one or old models to save money. That kind of machine can have some troubles and that leads to accidents in operating. Meanwhile, you can choose a very new machine from supplier. For example, in NISHIO, we import new machine in every year. (Refer this news: NISHIO is continuously supplying more Genie XC Boom Lifts to the Vietnam market) Increase work efficiency: Whenever the machine get problems, you do not need to find the repairing machine service which will charge a quite expensive fee (exclude the spare parts replacement fee). All you need to do is calling supplier. So, now you can clearly see how equipment rental service can support your business! Renting equipment in day is very common. However, supplier also need time to prepare document and check equipment condition before deliver machine to your side. Therefore, it’s better to send your orders in the previous days. When start to research about Scissor Lift and Boom Lift, you may consider which type is more suitable with your needs. Both of Engine (Diesel) and Electric (Battery) have their own pros and cons Diesel Engine: using diesel to run an engine system inside the machine. This type is stronger than Electric AWP, so it normally is used outside for construction works. However, because using Diesel causes heavy air pollution and big noises, Diesel AWP can not be used inside of the factories and buildings. Electric AWP uses a battery power source. It is clean and less noise. Therefore, people usually use it for the maintenance work and inside the factories. This company was established in 1961, from UK.

2022/03/11 Product Information: Things you need to know when using a Boom Lift on the slope; Boom lifts can go much higher than scissor lifts — up to 39.6m (130 feet) or more. They offer greater flexibility than scissor lifts, since the bucket rests on a hydraulic arm and can move in all directions. Meanwhile, boom lifts have smaller platforms than scissor lifts to keep the safe because it goes up higher than scissor lift. They are also ideal for jobs where the worksite is small or hard to access. Like scissor lifts, boom lifts aren’t recommended to use on a hill or incline. The center of gravity is higher with this machine than with many others, which increases the risk for a tip-over. However, it is possible to work on an incline as long as you don’t exceed the maximum slope with a safe working load for the boom lift. Safely driving a boom lift on a slope starts with knowing the lift’s maximum slope rating is very important. A digital inclinometer can be used to measure the exact degree of a slope. If you don’t have one, place the board at least 3 feet long on a slope. Then, place a carpenter’s level on the board and raise the lower end of the board level until it is horizontal. Once you do that, complete these steps: Measure the distance to the ground. Divide the distance by the length of the board. Multiply the result by 100. This simple formula provides the percent of the slant. If the number exceeds the max slope rating, do not drive the lift on the slope. Instead, winch or hoist the lift across the sloped area. Keep in mind that max slope ratings can change due to ground conditions and weather. For example, mud or loose gravel can reduce traction and extend stopping distances. Driving speeds need to be reduced when crossing sloped or rough terrain as well. Proceed with caution why you drive a boom lift on a slope near drop-offs or cliffs. There are many things that you can do to safely use a boom lift on a slope, such as: ✓ Use a pre-operation checklist to inspect a lift before you use it. ✓ Make sure a lift’s tires are inflated to the proper pressure, as low or high pressure can impact a lift’s stability. ✓ Check the surrounding area for un-compacted fill, ditches, and holes and address these issues before you begin work. ✓ Only use a lift designed to climb slopes. ✓ Check the weather report before you start work; if inclement weather is on the horizon, you need to plan accordingly. ✓ Make sure operators and ground workers are trained and certified to use a boom lift. Construction Equipment A boom lift should never be used in winds that exceed 45km/hour (28 mph). When in doubt about whether to operate a boom lift in high wind conditions, use your best judgement, and always err on the side of caution. Furthermore, you should always check a worksite for overhead hazards, such as overhangs or high-voltage power lines. As a general rule of thumb, stay at least 50 feet away from electrical wires on steel towers and 30 feet away from wires on wooden or concrete poles. Last but not least, remember that using an Articulating Boom Lift is safer than using a Telescopic Boom Lift on the slope. A boom lift safety training course can make a world of difference. By receiving boom lift safety training, you can learn how to properly operate a boom lift on slopes, lower your risk of boom lift accidents, and more. NISHIO also offers training lessons for safe operation to your operators. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us!
