Terex Corp.'s record-breaking Genie SX-180 boom lift, whose maximum platform height towers to 180 ft, uses a patented chassis that allows it to ride on a lowboy trailer without needing special road permits, sources at Genie say.
"This is a technological leap," said Terex Chairman and CEO Ron DeFeo at the April 15-21 Bauma expo in Munich, where Terex's Genie brand debuted the new machine. "This is a real advancement that the industry has not seen."
