Genie S-100 Boom lifts tech specs

Overview

The Genie S-100 is a serious boom lift for contractors who need height and reach without messing around. This is the kind of machine that earns its keep on steel, industrial plants, shutdown work, facade access, and large construction sites where smaller booms tap out early and go home embarrassed.

Performance & Efficiency

With a 32.49 m working height and 22.86 m horizontal reach, the S-100 is built for jobs that need real access performance, not just basic elevation. The 340.01 kg unrestricted platform capacity is another big plus, giving crews room for more than just one worker and a prayer. It is a practical machine for high steel, structural work, cladding access, industrial maintenance, and plant shutdown tasks.

Maintenance & Ownership

The Deutz TD2011 L04i diesel is a known industrial engine, and the S-100’s heavy-duty design suits fleet owners and contractors who actually use large booms properly. With 132.1 L of fuel and 150.26 L of hydraulic capacity, it is clearly built for serious work cycles rather than occasional soft-duty use.

In Cabin & Interior

There is no cab here, obviously, but the platform itself is sized for real work. Platform dimensions of 244.09 cm by 91.19 cm give operators decent room, and the 160° platform rotation helps when trying to line up on awkward access points without constantly repositioning the whole machine.

Safety Features

Safety is a major strength here simply because the machine is designed around controlled high-reach work. Strong platform capacity, long reach, stable operating weight, and useful platform rotation all help crews work more safely at height. The main trade-off is that this is still a large boom lift, so site planning and ground conditions matter a lot.
