Genie S-105 Boom lifts tech specs

Overview

The Genie S-105 is a proper high-reach boom lift for jobs where smaller booms run out of reach too early. It is built for steel erection, plant maintenance, facade access, and large construction work where height and horizontal outreach are the whole game.

Performance & Efficiency

With a 34.02 m working height and 24.38 m horizontal reach, the S-105 is built for serious access work. It shines on steel, cladding, shutdown maintenance, and high commercial access where the machine needs to reach out as much as it reaches up. The 227.02 kg unrestricted platform capacity is enough for operator-plus-tools work, but it is not especially generous for heavier basket loads.

Maintenance & Ownership

The Deutz TD2011 L04i diesel is a known industrial engine, and the S-105’s heavy-duty setup suits contractors and fleet owners who regularly run large boom lifts. With 132.1 L of fuel and 150.26 L of hydraulic capacity, it is clearly built for demanding work cycles rather than occasional light use.

In Cabin & Interior

There is no cab, but the platform is sized for real work. Platform dimensions of 244.09 cm by 91.19 cm give decent room, and the 160° platform rotation helps operators line up on awkward access points with less repositioning.

Safety Features

Safety comes from stable machine mass, long-reach design, and controlled platform positioning. The main strength here is reach with stability; the main caution is that this is still a large boom lift, so ground conditions and site planning matter a lot.

In Comparison

JLG 1200
A strong high-reach benchmark with broad market recognition and heavy-duty credibility.

Genie S-100
A close in-family comparison with slightly less reach and a stronger unrestricted platform capacity.

Genie S-105
The reach-focused option for buyers who want extra horizontal and vertical access without moving into an even larger class.

Verdict

Rated 5 stars, the Genie S-105 is an excellent boom lift for contractors who need long reach, serious height, and reliable high-access performance. It makes the most sense for industrial, steel, facade, and large construction work where reach is the main buying reason.
