Full boom in a 65 is pretty wavy it moves around a good bit. I can’t imagine this

Man try a z80/60, that extra joint really adds to the sloppy bounce, but she dose it.

Lucky enough that my boss has just bought one and it's currently being shipped over. It'll be the 3rd in europe and the 1st in the UK. Can't wait to get on it!

Just because he's a cool dude doesn't mean you should see his equipment.

im an equipment mechanic and have to "test" these booms every day before renting them. even have to make sure it still drives at full height. They are solid and actually fun once you get used to it.

I agree. I’m a technician for United and we check these out all of the time. The Genie SX180s feel even more stable than the JLG1500SJPs. The JLG 1850SJs feel much less stable but still fine after you get used to going “full stick” on them.

I did my Genie boom re-cert training today, I used to be good at height, but after today , not so much and I was only up 30 feet!!!. I would probably have a heart attack anywhere near this height.

The highest Genie boom I used to use at work was 35'. I can't imagine 100+! I'd shit myself!

@@Tman0517 I've actually been on 140ft genie lifts now after being in the cell industry for 5 years, have worked 1800' in the air on the CN tower and have climbed and worked on 800' towers. Funny how when i first saw this I couldn't imagine getting in one and now I've operated their second tallest genies. I actually had to rappel out of a genie that we seized up at 130'

Well that’s dumb, should have had a rescue plan.

@soopkichnmbc 6 жыл бұрын

The only rescue plan as far as extraction on a fully extended 185 , is another 185.

This gives my anxiety just watching this. It took me a long time to take a 60' JLG 600S all the way up, and I still don't like it. This is madness. No way. Just no way.

the lady who was filming this had more balls than most men! haha kidding..niiice vid. genies are so much more comfortable than jlg's... for me... I'm comfortable at 40' .. above that I'm more comfortable. with a genie

Pandayotegoog Leintheass my experience is the opposite. JLG have more controls and auto features built in than genie
